Why does no one embed subs anymore?

I'm just grateful that the subs aren't like yellow-crap-can't-read-at-all text like the official people use.That annoys me so much because you can tell they put almost no effort into it, geez why dont the companies hire db or something lol.

Dont complain about DVD subs looking like they do. Thats a limitation in the dvd format itself not the companys fault. Dont blame them blame the world for not producing new technology.I was going to write something, but Sindalf pointed it out.
lol sorry for being uninformed, I made the comment thinking that they just slapped them on (which they still do in some cases).

In truth they could use a different font but it wouldnt be cost effective since you would need two video tracks one for the original and for the sub. Also doing that means it would be hardsubed which slightly distortes picture and no one wants that if they are paying for a dvd. Unless Someone figures out a way to put very good lossless .mkv on a dvd (Might be a way idk) that is readable by all dvd players then I dont see this being fixed anytime soon.

The last time I EVER messed with soft subs (Assuming this is refering to a video where you have to manually select your subtitles from a file containing the subtitles) was with HELLSING OVA 4 I think (Did Alucard crash the SR-71 in that one?). I was sorta worried about putting the video file and subtitle file on a disk for fear that the subs would corrupt but luckily such a fear was not needed as both the video and the subtitle file were inact. Only problem is that I had to find a RAW of OVA 4 in order to use the subs

Softsubbing is when subs are not embedded into the video file. Can refer to manually choosing the sub file or mkv. Since mkv (think of it like a box filled with videos audio font and subs) holds subs and video it is not embedded into the video calling it softsubs. If you downloaded the raw then added softsubs I would recommend not to do this. Mostly because you might not have the font that is required in the .ass unless they attach it but that can be buggy. Also unless you find the exact same raw they did the timing of the subs can be off. They can bleed scenes also and what not. Not recommended. If a group is too lazy to provide you with a muxed video then the translation is most likly bad as well. Wouldn't watch subs like that. Fastest is not always the best subs contrary to popular belief. Should do some research on translation quality of different groups and shows.
