Hello, I'm looking for a faster way to hardcode subs into the video stream. I currently use MKV2VOB to hardcode subs. But this takes ages 4,4gig MKV(12hours+). Is there a faster way to do this, different app? Any help very much appreciated!
Unfortunately, no. The time it takes to re-encode your movies depends largely on your own computer's processing power. The same movie could take two seconds on a 300-core processor and 36 hours on a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 Processor. Some of it also has to do with your codec and the settings you use. If you want complete customization of your video encoding, I'd suggest using MeGUI + Avisynth. It's a bit (a lot) more complicated, but you can do much more with it. If you use an encoder with very low-quality settings, I'm sure you could reduce the hardsubbing time to a few minutes. But then you'd have horrible video quality. It's all up to you.
Thank you so much for answering! It's not really a big deal though, I'll just have my computer on, hardsubbing at night. ^^
