ok, so it's like this. when you say softsubs, it means the subs are a separate file from the video. meaning, they are not embedded in it. the subs are usually saved as .srt files, and come only in around 20kb or so. this means that it is just a text file. in this case, you'll have to have the raw video file, since the sub will be useless without it.
on the other hand, when you say hardsubbed, it's the video plus the subs. so when you watch, the subs are there automatically, as they haev been encoded into the video itself.
i'm not sure i explained that well. haha. sorry. i hope you get what i mean.
