Is there any software/method to add subtitles that are downloaded from opensubtitles.org to the video files?

Rename the subtitles file to exactly the [video file name].srt and place it in the same folder. Then open it in VLC or GOM player.

Or while playing the movie, just drag the subtitle file in the player window.

Freeware, but beware that adding subtitles permanently means re-encoding the whole video. And that takes time, and processor.

u mean Hard subbed

For that u have to reconvert video file with adding subtitle into it..

but then when ever u play video it will show subtitle and no option or trick to hide it

u can use winavi just put subtitle and video file in same folder with same name and select video for converting ......out will be with hard subbed

Or in better way u can use SubDownloader .. best and easiest way to get subtitles in seconds
