App for embedding subtitles in a video?

Do you know if there's any smartphone app (specifically for android) which hardcodes subtitles in a video to have a single file , playable on my sony bravia ex65 tv which doesn't support external subtitles?
Any idea? I mean without having to use my pc (i know there are many pc programs which can do that), i need a phone app.

Re: App for embedding subtitles in a video?

I have not done it myself on an Android device, but it seems possible.
It's not an "app" per se, so you need to be handy with the terminal.

According to https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HowToBurnS … sIntoVideo

ffmpeg -i video.avi -vf subtitles=subtitle.srt out.avi

That requires you to have ffmpeg compiled with libass support.

To compile ffmpeg, follow this guide: https://github.com/guardianproject/android-ffmpeg
or this: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Android
