Some Sources may contain more than one video file.The Open Source dialogue enables you to browse your files for a video to open. You can even hold and drag the Source video on the HandBrake’s main window. Let’s call this video the Source and let’s browse through files for the desired video to open. To install HandBrake go to Downloading and installing HandBrake. This quick start guide assumes you have already downloaded and installed HandBrake. This would require a captions file with carefully selected timecodes.Using HandBrake, you can convert any video to work on virtually any device that supports modern video formats, including mobile phones, tablets, TV media players, game consoles, computers, and web browsers. It’s also common to burn-in English subtitles during a foreign language sequence for an English-speaking audience. When disabled, the captions will not appear.īurned-in captions (or open captions) are hardcoded straight onto the video screen and cannot be turned on or turned off. When a track is enabled, the captions will overlay the video. Closed captions are encoded into the video file, and can be turned on or off by the viewer.

If you would like your video file to be encoded with closed captions or subtitles, feel free to skip this step. Choose “Burned-In” for open captions, and skip this step if you want closed captions In our example, the SRT Language is set to Spanish for the track with the Spanish foreign subtitles. In our example, we have SRT files for English Closed Captions and Spanish subtitles.īe sure to specify the SRT language for any foreign subtitle tracks. You can add as many subtitle tracks as you’d like! In several languages
