  1. Rather than following up to a thread several years old I thought I'd ask the proverbial question. Is it still impossible to demux xsubs from .divx files?

    I can't believe players can decode them but nothing can demux them. Seems awfully strange. Quite the pita to chase around for .srt subs when the video is already subbed. Trouble is my set top box can't see them. So I have to burn to disc to play them on Philips DVD player with UltraDivx. I think this has been asked on VideoHelp since as far back as 2005. No progress?

    Hi MilesAhead!

    I've not been able to find the XSub spec, but I've tried to add (at least some I hope) XSub reading to SE 3.2.4 b2 (http://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit.zip) - Use File -> Open subtitle + open divx file with xsubs.

    Let me know how it works/fails

  3. Thank you. I'll do that. I conversed on forum with the author of AviAddXSubs and as unbelievable as it sounds, he knows how to put them in, but can't get them out. As you say, there seems to be no spec published.

    I just gave a cursory try. It does pull out the subs for OCR. Thanks very much for the additional functionality.
    I'll update my Subtitle Edit folder with this version.

  4. Thread is old but I saw no such entries.
    "Use File -> Open subtitle + open divx file with xsubs."
    Can not open subtitle since I have only the divx movie in which the subtitle is encoded.
    There is no "open divx with xsubs" option either. Only a bunch of "import" options.
    Using linked program ver. 3.3.2 rev 1633

    Trying to extract sub files created with AVIaddXsubs from .srt to avi to divx.
    I know I need to use OCR but can't seem to find a program that works.
    Subtitles are there but semi off screen due to misconfiguration. I say "semi" cause only the last few letters are sometimes missing.

    Hm, the menu item seems to be gone... I'll try to put it back soon
    But you can try: File -> Open, choose "*.*", and then your divx/avi file...
