You may sometimes get some movies in MKV or AVI formats, which are ripped or decrypted with .srt or .sub as subtitle file for choosing different languages. However, most of the devices do not support external subtitles yet, especially the on the go. For example, iPad, iPod, PSP, Xbox, Apple TV. To enjoy Blu-ray movies and DVD videos with subtitles, we shall hard burn subtitle to video, it is also called hardcode subtitle to video.

Hard burn is the technology of burning the subtitle characters to the video image, so that when video plays, the subtitle will appear simultaneously without external subtitle files in .srt or .sub, or .ifo.
