Thread: Mkv and subtitle

I don't know if it's allowed to post this problem here but really i can't find any solution
I have samsung lcd serie5
when i try to add arabic subtitle with mkvtoolnix the video won't work on the lcd
so i'm searching for an other method to add subtitle in mkv to watch movies on my lcd
thnx

can i ask how you watching the video on your tv?

1. portable hard drive ( USB)
2. Connected your computer to the tv ( hdmi ,etc)
3. or anyway ( please explain what your are using, try to provide me with a image or link)

use videolan vlc player to play from pc

1. portable hard drive ( USB)
thnx in advance

This is what you should do,

Make a folder name it, Vide0

Put both the movie and the soft subtitle into the folder named Vide0

Next change the name of the movie to Samira1.mkv

Next change the name of the subitle to Samira1.srt

Now test to see if the video work with the subtitle before trying it on your t.v

If it works then drag the vide0 folder into your portable hard drive and see if it works.

If the video work and the subtitle doesn't then you may need to use your Samsung remote to see the subtitles on.

-----------------------------

Just amke sure the video name and the subtitle name are the same.

Example:

bump bump bump
i know it's very hard
but i know there's at least some pepole who know how to fix this prblem

first of all, i'm surprised that samsung series 5 supports mkv playback....
Can you confirm if your TV can play mkv file without any subtitles? (if it does, will recommend you to hardcode the subs onto the movie then).
So just try playing without the subtitle...

look man my tv supports mkv
but doesn't support arabic subtitle
hardcode the subs onto the movie then?
how

Putting a subs file into an mkv container doesn't hardcode the subs, it just makes them available as part of the file if your player supports them. In order to hardcode the subs you have to reencode the video stream. Depending upon your hardware it could take a loooooong time to do this. When you do the subs will permanantly be burned into the film, you can't get rid of them or switch them off and on, hence they're hardcoded.

You'd need to use a tool such as MegUI .
MKV2VOB may also do what you require.
