Hi all!

I wanted to start a project that has subtitles. I ripped the movie using MakeMKV and was converting with Handbrake and it's always a 50/50 shot whether I did it right or not.

I would like to just add the subtitles to the movie while I edit it, but I have no idea how to go about doing that and anything I've looked up before hasn't quite worked or I'm just not "getting it".

Thanks in advance for the help!
 
I use Subtitle Edit (free, currently on version 3.6.6) to extract subtitles from movie files. More on that software in this thread.

The easiest, but not always entirely accurate, way to get the subtitles is to download them from opensubtitles.org. Select the language you want, type in the name of the movie, select a subtitle that matches your framerate, download it.

Regardless which software you use, if your movie has an SRT file the result will be accurate. If you extract a VOBSUB file there is risk that uppercase i ("I") is read as one ("1") or lowercase L ("l"), and that uppercase o ("O") is read as zero ("0"). Recognition software has improved the past few years, but is still imperfect.
