How do I post video with subtitles?

[saynototheraccoons]

I have a video I made and added subtitles to it, using steps I found on this website. When I open the file on my computer, the subtitles are there, but when I email the video to someone else, the subtitles are no longer attached to the video. What step did I miss in the creation process?

Here's what I did:
I added the subtitles using Subtitle Workshop
I saved them as a .sub file with the same name as my video
Then I used configured them using ffdshow


... I did this earlier in the day, so I don't know if I'm even missing a step that I did earlier.


I guess the main point is, the video works with subtitles on my lap top when I play it, btu when I send it to someone, or upload it to youtube, it no longer has subtitles.

Make permanent/burned in subtitles, with for example autogk see http://forum.videohelp.com/topic316471.html .

Or else must the user who play it also have ffdshow or vsfilter or a player with builtin subtitle support.
