Re: Burn subtitles permanently into video
Is it works for you ? I get something like that when I try to hardcode subtitles into movie using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i out.avi -vf subtitles=sub.srt out2.avi
...
[Parsed_subtitles_0 @ 0x6c5040] Unable to open sub.srt
[AVFilterGraph @ 0x700140] Error initializing filter 'subtitles' with args 'sub.srt'
Error opening filters!Offline

Re: Burn subtitles permanently into video
Handbrake should work... Are you selecting the "Burned in" option?

Re: Burn subtitles permanently into video
avidemux worked, thx a lot! i had to reencode the movie twice because the font size was too small!
i tried the handbrake "burned in" option also, but it was only soft coded into the video.
edit: typo

In my case I use many tools to transcode video on the fly and put subtitles into it, for example to get videos through DLNA on my TV. Plex Media Server, Serviio and many others can transcode video and burn subtitles into it and these applications use ffmpeg to do that. But unfortunately ffmpeg seems to be broken with adding subtitles, in many other ways its brilliant utility.

The complete console output would be more useful and may provide the reason why it is failing.
