EMBED SUBTITLES

An alternative way to access subtitles is to embed them into your media using Handbrake. A full guide can be found under “Advanced Features” at https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/— but it’s basically this: Load up your media, switch to the “Subtitles” tab, and either import your .srt file (you can set an offset if required), or click “Add Track” if ripping from DVD. Look for a “Foreign Audio Scan” option [ Image E], which attempts to detect the foreign-language dialog track for you, then check both “Forced Only” and “Default” (or “Burn In” if you want the subtitles to be physically overlaid on the video track, which means they’re visible even if subtitles are switched off). You’ll never be bamboozled by Jabba the Hutt again.
