Subtitles not showing on the TV?

Choose “Next to the video” to get a matching .srt for every file, or “Burn into the picture” for devices that ignore subtitle files.

Your files stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

1 Your TV, box or projector

Not on the list? Paste the “supported formats” table from the manual

2 Your videos

Drop videos or a whole folder here Series, films, home videos — any number, any size. .srt files with the same name are picked up as subtitles.

3 USB stick, sound and subtitles

Fit everything on a stick of Stick format Split files over 4 GB into parts instead of shrinking them Picture quality Tidy up: “Show/Season 01/Show S01E02”, safe file names

Audio language (first available wins) Sound Night mode: quiet dialogue louder, explosions softer Same loudness for every episode (EBU R128) Subtitles

4 Save to the stick or a folder

Long batch? Leave the tab open and visible — the screen is kept awake. If the tab is closed, open the page again and press “Continue”: finished files are skipped.

What TVs expect

The subtitle file in the same folder with exactly the same name as the video (LG, Sony; Samsung per user reports).
A lowercase extension: Sony asks for “.srt”, not “.SRT”.
Text encoding: UTF-8 is the safest; CompressLab converts Windows-1251/1252 files to UTF-8 automatically.

Built-in subtitles

Text subtitles inside MKV (SRT/ASS) are extracted to a matching .srt or burned in. Picture subtitles (PGS from Blu-ray, VobSub from DVD) can’t be turned into text in a browser — use an external SRT for those.

Questions

Can I turn burned-in subtitles off later?

No — they become part of the picture. Keep the original file if you may need it without subtitles.
