I'm looking for easy and fast method to hardcode subtitles. mkvmerge - not sure thats hardcoding, because on TV subtitles are missing.

After experiencing 'mpv' I will never go back to MPlayerX. Until now I have tried 4-5 methods to hardcoding subtitles to mp4/mkv videos. It is highly configurable if you don't mind reading the docs and editing a config file. It has many more features than command-line 'mplayer', and is an app, so you can open files from Finder in it. Supports hardcoding substation alpha, srt or vtt subtitles into video. paid lifetime or subscription plan includes all features of app 2. Below are few of eye catching features of this app.

You're talking about soft subtitles to the MKV/MP4. Foxsub is a full featured subtitle making app for mobile and tablet devices. select the ass file: Subtitle->Import->Subtitle Import->Subtitle File 8.

You probably want to mix the srt files inside the mkv or mp4 file, which can be done with mkvtoolnix or ffmpeg or gpac or another muxer. It handles playlists, or you can select a bunch of videos and open them all, like a playlist, with 'CMD-o'. 'hardcode' means burning the subtitles on the video, and this requires re-encoding. It loads immediately, unlike MPlayerX, which takes at least a minute to load a video. I looked for and found a much better alternative called 'mpv', which is based on 'mplayer', but has many more features. But when I found that the latest version from the developer at codeplex, the same version offered on this site (which has now been replaced by the safe version from sourceforge), contained 16 out of 45 malware positives at Virustotal, that was it. Customize your captions, change the color, font, and position of your subtitles. Or click on 'autogenerate subtitles' with Happy Scribe. It always took a full minute to open even the smallest video file. Select the video in which you want to burn your subtitle file. I had been using MPlayerX for years and never really liked it.
