giddyup Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 When I download a torrent file of a complete TV series it quite often has the sub file in a separate folder to the actual episodes. How do I transfer the subs to the TV files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuktuktuk Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I do it with Handbrake and convert them to Apple format at the same time for network sharing to several Apple TV’s. Handbrake is really slow. I’d like a better free solution, but haven’t found one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myran Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Open the video file and just drag-and-drop the subtitle file onto the window with the playing video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemsta69 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I looked this up a few years ago but everything I found was too complicated for my puny brain so I just use VLC now and open the subtitle file manually. The K.I.S.S. approach ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeymaus Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 On my LG TV I only have to put the video and the srt file into the same folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good tip and also maybe change the file name of the subtitle file (srt) to the name of the video for example Video is called: Video.mp4 change the srt file to Video.srt look here https://wiki.videolan.org/subtitles under #3 external subtitles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recom273 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 You can do it in handbrake, as mentioned, but it would reencode, depending upon your computing power, it could take some time. The best way would be ffmpeg - this would mux the subs into the file, its command line, so may be a little difficult to get your head around, but it's the fastest.
