Maintaining hard coded subtitles with .mkv files

[slipd]

Hi guys,

I've got half a dozen or so .mkv files that have hard coded English subs, is there any way of preserving them if I convert the files to .mp4 or even output to DVD? Any software packages etc.

Thanks.

Yeah, sorry, they're not hard-coded, they're soft-coded! What I meant was there is no separate .srt subtitle file or anything.

I want to burn the .mkv files to DVD so I can view them on my home kit

Surely you have a DLNA or at least a USB capable setup, by now?

Ha, yeah I do but it was just foxing me that I didn't know how to do what I was attempting to do... In the end I settled upon converting the mkv to mp4 and combining that with a separate srt file. Long winded but it worked!

Thanks guys.
