How to prevent quality loss when adding subtitles to a movie?

I REALLY need this. I know you can just name the subtitle to the movies name but I don't want people going around and taking credit that they made it. It's a unique release for a specific site.

But I really need to prevent quality loss, any ideas? Or something that would prevent tampering with the .srt file?



Sincerely, Megser
 
You can encode the subs into the movie and rerender the movie with the same Qual as before.
 
you can use what they call "soft subs" and let something like Media Player Classic take care of playing them at the same time with the movie, to use a softsub you dont have to re-encode because it just reads the sub title data, and overlays it ontop of the video.

From what I understood he didn't want that, since it would be too easy to fake the credits for the movie.
 
Thanks for your answers mates. But what I want is to not have to re-encode the video, I want to softsub it, but still I don't want people to have access to the actual .SRT file. Since it just normally lies in the same directory as the video.

Any way to do that? Hide it, copy protect it somehow? Give file access only to a certain program, like say only to VLC?

Give me something :).
 
You should be able to hide the .str file. Gimme a couple of mins and I'll find you a link to a guide.

So if you want to send it to other people, just compress it to a Rar and when they unpack it the file will still be hidden.

Glad to see you back on the forums, Mess. Been a while :). Thanks for the guide BUT. This wouldn't work on for say Vista and XP? You sure it'll still be hidden? Because their folder and search options might not be the same?

Pretty sure it would work with Vista and XP too. I got a copy of all of them, so we can test it if you want :)

That would be truly awesome! :D

Another thing, what if they have their folder options set to 'show hidden files and folders'? Would kind of screw it all, eh?

You can set the folder to Read Only, so it wont be affected by that.
