Embedding subtitles in a .mp4 file

I've taken a look at the subtitle feature in VideoPad, and as far as I can see this feature is not suitable for embedding optional subtitles in a .mp4 file. By that I mean the kind of subtitles that each individual user can select or de-select via the video player. Is that correct?

 

If so, it would be great if you added this possibility to a future version of VideoPad. I need this facility, so I'm going to have to evaluate and learn to use a couple of other programs to create the subtitles and to embed them in the .mp4 file. It would be much nicer to be able to do it all in VideoPad.

Just to follow up on this, what I ended up determining is that Vimeo (where my videos are hosted) has their own subtitling facility, so I'm using that.

 

(Thanks for the replies. It's too bad that the MP4 format does not support embedded text subtitles. That would be a hosting-independent solution.)
