taha, it’s a converter not an editor.

taha, TK precisely explained subtitles. Summarizing, basically there are two ways to "add" subtitles to your films : the so called "hard coded" - these are like you have recorded a TV foreign movie that is presenting the subtitles on your TV screen. When you see it latter, the subtitles are there on the film; they have become part of the film and there is no way to take them out. You cannot change their color, size, position on screen etc.
And there are the ones called "soft coded". These ones stay on another file with exactly the same name of the movie file - for example - your movie file is called "movie.mp4", the subtitles will be called "movie.srt". The .srt termination designates one type of subtitles, my favorite, which is a simple text file. But it depends on your reproducing equipment which might or not accept this type ( I think that most probably all equipments accept srt subtitles files). Other types are sub/idx, ass, ssa. So, with an external subtitle, and depending of your equipment, you can manipulate how they will be presented on screen - their position on top or bottom, on the very very bottom or a little bit higher, change their color, make them bigger or smaller, bold or not and probably some other configuration that I'm forgetting. My TV gives me all these possibilities.
So I NEVER hard code subtitles, because once they are on film nothing else can be done, even if you find out later that the translation of the original language is totally wrong, when your Brazilian friend comes in and you proudly show him the Brazilian movie you just found and he tells you that the translation is wrong and that it completelly changes the meaning of the picture.
