Add srt subtitles to MP4 on Windows 8.1/8/7/XP in a Hassle-Free Way

This guide is available for people who want to add .srt subtitles to the mp4 videos to get them easily understood on Windows 8.1/8/7/XP.

Subtitles are the textual representation of a dialog displayed at the bottom of the screen. They can be a written translation of the dialog in a foreign language or its transcription in the same language. That is really very helpful in case you cannot hear properly what is being said.

Movie with subtitle

Have you ever created your own movie with your recordings but found your clips are difficult to understand? One feasible solution is to add SRT, the most basic subtitle format, to MP4 video file.

If you don't have any .srt subtitle or who want to add some of their own words to the .srt subtitles displayed onscreen.refer to part 1. If you have saved SRT subtitles you need, just skip this part and directly move to part 2. 

Part 1: Download External SRT Subtitle or Create Your Own SRT before Adding to MP4 Video 
Download SRT subtitle: You can put "movie title" + "your preferred language" + "subtitle" as the search strings and select the subtitle file saved in .srt for an effective SRT subtitle file searching. Alternatively, finding the needed subtitle in .srt format from those popular subtitle download sites like Moviesubtitles.org is also a practical way.

Edit or make your own .srt file: Here we take Notepad as an example. Just open Notepad, create the subtitle you like in the text editor, click menu File->Save As; change the subtitle file name based on your name of video file and save it in .srt format.

Tips: The SRT subtitle needs to contain the following parts while creating the SRT subtitle:

1. The number showing which subtitle it is in the sequence.
2. The time that the subtitle should appear and disappear on the screen.
3. The subtitle itself.
4. A blank line indicating the begin of a new subtitle.



Part 2: How to Add SRT Subtitle to MP4 File on Windows 8.1/8/7/XP

To get it done effortlessly, I recommend you Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate, which is most user friendly, professional and the outlook of it is smart. With it, users can add subtitles in *.srt, *.ass, *.ssa to MP4 videos on Windows 8.1/8/7/XP with just a few clicks. It can not only add subtitles to MP4, but also supports many other video formats, like AVI, MKV, etc.

Besides adding subtitles to movies, it is an easy-to-use program with many other functions, which enables you to edit videos, convert videos(MKV, AVI, WMV, MOV, VOB, MPG, FLV…) quickly without quality loss. Just download the program and follow the guide below, you’ll find it is really simple to srt embed subtitle to MP4. The Mac version is iMedia Converter for Mac.

1. Import mp4 source.

Click "Add video" button to import the *.mp4 files. After few second, it will be imported successfully and you can preview the whole movie in the preview window.



For BD/DVD videos, force subtitle can be checked for output so as to help you to read the unknown language and fully enjoy the blu-ray/dvd movies.

2. Choose output format.

Now go to "Format" menu to select output format there. A variety of options are listed, and choose the one you desired like rvmb, mp4, WMV format. For example, you can select "Common Video > H.264 Video(*.mp4)".



Tip:

By the way, if you want, you can adjust output video and audio parameters according to your own needs. You can change bitrate, frame rate, channels, etc. Click "Settings" button to set output profiles.

3. Add .srt subtitles

In order to get customized videos, you can add subtitles to your own videos.

Find "Edit" icon and then click it, you will find video editor. There you can Trim, Crop, Add watermark and Effect. Above all, Subtitle can be added here.



For creating customized subtitle, you can count on free software for subtitle editing: Subtitle Edit. Go to write the subtitle content there and it will be saved as SRT files, which is supported by Video Converter Ultimate. Then load it to the software for output videos and you will get a characteristic video.

4. Convert your mp4 files.

Now it's time to start conversion. Click big Convert button on the interface and then you will get a conversion dialogue box to show the exact progress, like time left, estimated size, state and so on.

How to set up Windows Media Player and stream video from Windows 8.1 PC to HDTV

The following guide will give you an instruction to set up a Windows 8.1 PC as a DMS and stream from PC to HDTV via Windows Media Player.

You may be surprised to learn that sharing digital media across different devices and platforms is quite easy. Windows 8.1 with Windows Media Player has built-in tools and DLNA/UPnP support for easily sharing digital media libraries with compatible devices. And allowing access to the media across a network or the Web requires minimal configuration.

stream video from Windows 8.1 PC to HDTV

First, some definitions: The device that sends the stream—such as a PC—is the DLNA server. The device that receives the stream—such as an HDTV or something connected to the TV—is the DLNA renderer. Both devices must be on the same network. Follow these steps to stream videos from PC to DLNA HDTV:

Part 1. How to Set Up Your Windows 8 DLNA Media Server for video streaming

Windows 8.1 DLNA Media Server

The quickest way to set up a Windows 8.1 DLNA Media Server is to use the one that comes with Windows 8.1. By default, all the music that you load in the “My Music”, “My Pictures”, and “My Videos” folders gets added to your PC’s media library. In order to share media over your home network, you should put the media you want to share in the “Shared Music”, “Shared Pictures” and “Shared Videos” folders. They will still be part of your local library and fully accessible from your PC but will also be available to anyone on your network. If you want to see how its done read this TopNetTricks How-To article.How It’s Done

Putting media in the correct folders is simply a matter of using Windows Explorer and moving the files to those folders. You can see from the screen below that each of the media libraries contains a “My” folder and a “Shared” folder. When you set up Media sharing the entire library (both “My” and “Shared” folders) will become visible to media players.

set up Media sharing

1. Enabling DLNA Media Server Function in Windows Media Player

It is not necessary to have a Homegroup configured to use the Windows 8.1 DLNA Media Server. But you must have Windows Media Player correctly set up.

From the “Stream” menu.

Windows Media Player correctly set up


Select “Turn on media streaming”, and press the “Turn on media streaming button”.

Turn on media streaming


You will then be prompted with a list of DLNA devices that Windows has found on your network. Select the one you want to share with and then “OK”

Select the one you want to share

2. Allowing DLNA Media Players to Access Your Media

You want to be a bit careful here about selecting “Allow All”. This will allow people at the office or at the local coffee shop to browse your library, including personal photos you may have. Likewise, the Windows Media Player has an option under “Stream” to “Automatically allow devices to play my media…” which has the same effect. Be careful if you decide to use this option on a laptop computer that you use outside the home.3Setting Up the DLNA Media Client in Windows Media Player

First you need to make sure that the player PC is on the same network as the media server. Now if you go to another windows PC and call up Windows Media Player, you should be able to see, in the left column, under “Other Libraries”, the shared Library that you just set up. You may have to right click “Other Libraries” and select “Refresh” if you don’t see the content right away.

Notice that the shared content that you can see from the Windows 8 DLNA Media Server is the combination of “My Music” and “Public Music”. As well, both “My Pictures” and “Public Pictures” are shared by default. This may not be what you want. You can control what gets shared in Windows Media Player under “Organize”, “Manage Libraries”, and “Pictures”. You can remove the “My Pictures” Folder from the list, or specify a different folder.DLNA Media Server Security (or lack of it)

Keep in mind that Windows 8.1 DLNA Media Server does not have any access control (fancy word meaning security). It has no logins and no permissions. So whatever you make available through your DLNA server is visible to everyone. a Windows 8.1 DLNA Media Server is great around the house but you should be wary if you use it on shared or public networks. It is best to use the Media Streaming Options screen to control who you want to share with if you plan on using that computer outside the home.

2. Pushing/Streaming PC media to DLNA compliant HDTV over wifi

I found this article via PCWORLD on how to stream from PC to HDTV. Having Chromecast is pretty awesome, but has it’s limitations. With the free Android app BubbleUPnP, you can turn Chromecast into a DLNA renderer.

(DLNA uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for media management, discovery and control. UPnP defines the type of device that DLNA supports (“server”, “renderer”, “controller”) and the mechanisms for accessing media over a network)

I installed BubbleUPnP on my Nexus and then selected Chrome Cloud as the renderer.

BubbleUPnP


Then you just set up Windows Media Player to stream your stuff. Simply open WMP, select Stream > Turn on media streaming. Once it is turned on, click OK.

media streaming options

Use the BubbleUPnP app to locate your photos, music, videos and play on! (You may need to select Chromecast via your TV input options before using)

Locate Media Content



Other ways to stream Video to Your TV can be found here. (All devices required a TV with an HDMI port, so that means an HDTV.)

Notes:

1. Windows Media Player 12 (bundled with Windows 7 and 8.1) supports all DLNA roles. Windows Media Player 11 reportedly supports DLNA, but there appear to be problems.

2. If you’re not sure if your TV is DLNA-certified, search info at DLNA Certified Products and see if it is a DLNA compliant HDTV.

3. Not all the videos can be streamed from PC to HDTV via DLNA. Only specified media formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-4 and WMV 9) are good for DLNA video streaming. Errors occur in case of unsupported video format. Native formats for DLNA media streaming:

Stream Videos from PC to HDTV DLNA

4. To stream MKV, AVI, H.264 videos to HDTV, you can transcode the format to one of the applicable required formats. A recommended transcoder here is Pavtube Video Converter, which uses CUDA acceleration tech and converts videos fast enough.

5. You can also use Pavtube BDMagic to convert Blu-rays and DVDs to PC hard drive and your PC a DLNA Media Server for streaming to HDTV and other DLNA certified devices like PS3, PS4 and Xbox 360, etc.
