If you have a separate subtitle file (like an .srt ) for this release, you can use several methods to combine them:
: For temporary viewing without changing the file, rename your subtitle file to match the video file exactly (e.g., Nix.2022.WEBRip.x264-ION10.srt ) and place it in the same folder. VLC will automatically detect and load it.
: x264 (H.264/AVC), which is highly compatible with most smart TVs, consoles, and players.
Click "Start multiplexing" to create a new MKV file with the subtitles embedded.
: Often include English "hardcoded" subtitles for foreign dialogue sections, but rarely include full optional (soft) subtitle tracks unless specified in the release notes.
