Just use a video conversion program. Actually, you can convert your video by not changing its format, but specify a subtitle file with the content you wish to hardsub into your video. Such converter is, for example, FormatFactory.
I also have a question:
When playing 16:9 movies there is quite a large black portion of the screen (above and below the movie) left unused. I would like VLC to sho the subtitles in this lower black zone. In this may, the moci would be more enjoyable, without subtitles interferring with the image.
There is a Setting option in VLC: Tools->Preferences->Subtitles&OSD->Force subtitle position, but this is not suitable for playing the subtitles above the movie clip, outside of the videoclip area. Any good suggestion for this?
