hidden subtitle

[yehonatan145]

In some of the movies i download, i have allready subtitles just not in a other file, in the movie itself. How can i add my own subtitles to be in the movie - without any subtitle file (srt)?

Use MKVmerge

thanks, but not that i meant.
i attached an image, there is a subtitles in square brackets ([]) - how can i make one of my subtitles to this subtitles (there are the only subtitles that work on my TV)

First subtitle in the list it's an external subtitle in a text file. Usually any TV with an internal media player should read and display this subtitle (if the subtitle have the exact same name as the video file).
All other subtitles are internal and defined by a TAG as the language the subtitle is. To create such a subtitle and put it inside the MKV container you must use a tool such as MKV Merge.

If you play this file through BSPlayer and you don't see the external subtitle but something else instead, drag and drop the subtitle file over BSPlayer. Sometimes (I don't know why) BSPlayer ignores the external file (even if it looks as loaded) and display an internal one.

So, I understand that in fact you want to extract a specific subtitle from an embedded MKV file. You have different methods:
1. Use MKVtoolnix -> MKV extract:

2. Use VirtualDubMod: load the file -> streams -> stream list, select the stream you want to extract -> demux
