What's the correct or most up-to-date way of doing this? What program do I use?
I want to watch a MP4 on my PS3 with subtitles 'hardcoded', because the PS3 doesn't recognize srt files.

When you're setting up a conversion job in Handbrake, go to the subtitles
tab, and check the box for burn in
on the subtitle track you want hardcoded.
We are having several application in market to do the work. Where you can hardcode subtitle using VLC media player itself. Please check the below link for further details.
