Guide me to a dependable subtitling software that also hard-codes subtitles ('hardsubs')

  • 772

I am in need.

After going through other queries, I believe that avidemux is not as stable as before and has to be 'built'. If not, please guide me as to how I can get the deb version.

My need is to hardcode subtitles onto a video. I have tried Handbrake already which doesn't suit the purpose. Is there an alternative?

Kindly note I need a software with a front-end. I am not adept in terminal language and it takes me time. And WinFF, based on ffmpeg, does not hardcode subtitles.

Windows I believe has several options. I would love a Linux version. This would really help me.

Thank you in advance and I hope I have been detailed.

    You can get a pre-built binary package of Avidemux for Ubuntu 16.04 from the GetDeb repositories:

    1. Set up the GetDeb repository.

    2. Don't forget to update the repository list (step 5 of the link above)! Use your favourite package manager or run:

      sudo apt-get update

    3. Install the package via the link title “Install this now” on the GetDeb application page or

      Install the application manually with the following commands:
