can movie subs be removed?

hi. i recently downloaded an english movie and it was subbed in english but i dont wanna see the subs appearing. there is no separate file like .srt which i could remove. its integrated into the media file ….
so can u plz help me out and tell me if i can remove the sub or else stop it from appearing while playing the movie? : the movie i downloaded has 16 rapidshare links (15*100mb+1*28mb).
can i remove the sub directly from the winrar files? : actually this is a very stupid kind of question but i donot know much about movie editting/ripping/encoding stuffs.
so can u please help me out?
Answer #1
Sorry mate, I dont think you can get rid of them
Answer #2
if they’re hardcoded not. this means they’re part of the video material.
but the are container files … like *.mkv or *.ogg … if you downloaded one of these then there is the possibility that the subs are implemented in the container and you can remove them
if that’s the case, rightlick on the video-picture and search for video-options, or subtitle-options …

If its hardcoded into the movie the only way to get rid of it is to blur it out, like they do with the timecodes that are at the bottom of some screeners. To see if its just added softly and not hardcoded, open the video with “Virtual Dub Mod” (its free) and look under the Streams section. Only the Modded version allows more than one file in the audio section. If there is one audio file there, the subs are hardcoded, but if you see two files one of them is the sub and can be removed by resaving the file with both the Video section and the audio file set to Direct Stream (right click the audio in the Streams Section to get its menu) and disabling the sub before saving to a new name so you keep your original until your satisfied. Its important to understand that each part (video/audio) can be set to Direct Stream (copy) or Full Processing (you have to choose a compression and it will be reencoded). When you first open a file the default is Video Full Processing to Uncompressed Avi and Audio (or streams in the Modded version) Direct Stream. Uncompressed avi would make a 40gig file from a 700mb avi so don’t use it, its for extracting DV files from a camcorder I believe, but is hardly ever used anymore.

If it’s a MKV file then using MKVMerge is the best option. That is a program in the MKVToolnix package called mmg.exe.
Then open the MKV and it will show what is in the MKV. You can then unselect the subtitles if you want OR better still would be to change the default track flag for one of the offending subtitles so that it does not automatically play. Then re-save the file with a new filename to test it.
