I am having a trouble finding a good app that would allow me to merge the subtitle (.srt, etc) in a foreign movie. I wanted to make them into a one file. Is there any subtitle and movie merger that is for free and downloadable online?

Thanks a lot! :)

It depends VERY much on what format the movie is in. Very few formats support subtitles.

Broadly speaking, you want the movie file to be in AVI (divx will do nicely) and the subtitle file to be a in a standard format (SRT for example). You can then use ffmpegX (free) or iFFmpeg (not free but cheap) to mux the two together. Once that's done, the file can be converted to any format you like.

I'm sorry but I have searched ffmpegX and have read that it was a movie encoder/decoder or an app that converts formats. I was looking for an app which would allow me to merge my subtitle(.srt) and movie(.avi/.mkv) because I do not like them to be separate icons.

Thank you very much for the reply! :) By the way, I also tried downloading ffmpegX but there was a warning popping out that it could harm my computer so I discarded the download.

using mencoder ffmpegx will create on output file with burned subtitles but does not handle mkv files, i guess you can use iffmpeg to convert the file to mp4 or avi format and then use ffmpegx.
