How to embed SRT subtitle in MP4 files

[Starfox]

I have some MP4 files with corresponding subtitle SRT files. I want to embed the subtitles in the MP4 files for better viewing experience with my Apple TV. Is there a way to do that without re-encoding the entire files? Right now I re-encode the whole thing with HandBrake but since the H.264 stream is already in the format I want it should be easier to just embed the SRT into that, but I can't find the tools to do it. I tried Submerge, which burns them in and that's not what I want to have.

Use iSubtitle: http://www.bitfield.se/isubtitle/

I use Subler that does the job just fine without recoding everything (takes a minute or two per movie)

2nd this.
Every other option I tried wanted to recode the video, wasted so much time before Subler.

Can someone point me towards a Subler tutorial?..

Go to subler than:

- click new (that will prompt an input screen)
- click on the + sign to add your movie file
- clic again on the + sign to add your srt file
- clic on the "send to queue icon" (same icon as the share one on an iphone)
- clic start on the queue screen

that is is really,

let me know if that works

Or even better:

1. open the mp4/m4v directly in Subler
2. Press the + button and select the .srt (or drag it into the window)
3. File -> Save (it should take a few seconds)
