Also you can change their size,amazing thing. I really would like to know how do they encode those. Well I was wondering if TCMP has that kind of function. Because you can choose in the Video/Audio section the stream, so i was wondering if we can choose the subtitle as well. I can see them on the screen in my TCMP , but they I see them small. All I need is the TCMP to let me change their size so I can see them well.
Those subtitles aren't "hard coded". What people mean by "hard coded" is that in the encoding process the subtitles are added as part of the picture. They can't be turned off. What you are talking about is subtitles that are muxed into the container. So for example you encode a video, the audio and the subtitles. Then you take all of these separate streams and put them together into a container, .MKV for example. Then upon playback either the video splitter (which breaks up the various streams form the container) or the player allows you to select which of the streams present you want to play. the movie isn't a stream. It is a container which is comprised of one or (usually) more streams. I appreciate your desire for such functionality in TCPMP. Every movie I encode has multiple audio tracks and subtitles if they were present on the DVD.
