    Hello,
    Here is what I tried to do: I made an avi which was just a green screen with a black bar at the bottom where the subtitles should appear. Using Any Video Converter Professional (evaluation version) I successfully imported the srt file I made of the subtitles. The subtitles appear, correctly, in the black bar at the bottom of the screen when I view them in the preview panel. However, whichever way I try to export the file, in the exported version the subtitles have been flipped 180 degrees to appear upside down and inside out (I think) at the top of the green screen. Help? See screen shots attached.

    Try something else, like video to video converter or tencoder. Both can burn in subtitles from srt.

    thank you, I just tried tencoder. weirdly the problem was exactly the same! My srt file is coming from "Subtitle Workshop." Is there something in its header that's causing it to come out upside down?

    {QTtext} {font:Tahoma}
    {plain} {size:20}

    where are you subtitles
    [00:00:12.00]

    [00:00:13.00]
    I once went to a big costume ball
    [00:00:22.00]

    [00:00:22.00]
    There in the middle of the hall
    [00:00:28.00]

    [00:00:28.00]
    I saw a woman in a mask
    [00:00:31.00]

    [00:00:31.00]
    She looked like such a flirt!
    [00:00:35.00]

    [00:00:35.00]
    I was such a cavalier!
    [00:00:40.00]

    [00:00:40.00]
    I gave her a kiss and a caress
    [00:00:43.00]

    [00:00:43.00]
    and I was done with her.
    [00:00:47.30]

    [00:00:47.30]
    Midnight arrived, oy vey, what I saw then!
    [00:00:56.20]

    [00:00:56.20]
    She took off her mask
    [00:01:00.50]

    [00:01:00.50]
    it was my mother-in-law.
    [00:01:06.00]

    [00:01:14.32]
    A mistake, a mistake, I made a mistake
    [00:01:18.23]

    [00:01:18.23]
    I thought she was beautiful
    [00:01:20.32]

    [00:01:20.32]
    but in the end I was way off.
    [00:01:22.73]

    [00:01:22.73]
    Oh my head, oh my nose, I made a big mistake.
    [00:01:26.81]

    [00:01:26.81]
    A mistake, a mistake, I made a mistake
    [00:01:35.00]

    [00:01:35.00]
    I thought she was beautiful but oops, no she wasn't.
    [00:01:39.00]

    [00:01:46.80]
    I was sitting with a girl once, I turned the lights down low.
    [00:01:54.50]

    [00:01:54.50]
    but because I forgot myself completely
    [00:02:00.50]

    [00:02:03.50]
    When I first got close to her
    [00:02:08.00]

    [00:02:08.00]
    It was pretty dark
    [00:02:12.23]

    [00:02:12.23]
    I took her in my arms
    [00:02:16.57]

    [00:02:16.57]
    I kissed every nook and cranny
    [00:02:20.76]

    [00:02:20.76]
    Suddenly the lights came on
    [00:02:25.15]

    [00:02:25.15]
    Oh, no, what I saw then:
    [00:02:29.06]

    [00:02:29.06]
    The world grew black before my eyes...
    [00:02:34.00]

    [00:02:34.00]
    It was my maid !
    [00:02:39.42]

    [00:02:48.00]
    I made a mistake.
    [00:02:52.00]

    [00:02:52.29]
    I thought she was beautiful
    [00:02:54.14]

    [00:02:54.14]
    but in the end I was way off.
    [00:02:56.40]

    [00:02:56.40]
    Oh my head, oh my nose, I made a big mistake.
    [00:03:00.53]

    [00:03:00.53]
    A mistake, a mistake, I made a mistake
    [00:02:08.58]

    [00:02:08.58]
    I thought she was beautiful but oops, no she wasn't.
    [00:03:12.90]

    [00:03:12.90]
    Oh my head, oh my nose, I made a big mistake.
    [00:03:18.10]

    [00:03:25.85]
    I was sitting with a hot-shot
    [00:03:29.63]

    [00:03:29.63]
    He turned the lights down low.
    [00:03:33.64]

    [00:03:33.64]
    But because I forgot myself completely
    [00:03:38.80]

    [00:03:38.80]
    I fell into his joke.
    [00:03:42.51]

    [00:03:42.51]
    When I first met him, he seemed so aristocratic
    [00:03:51.84]

    [00:03:51.84]
    I took a fancy to him
    [00:03:55.29]

    [00:03:55.29]
    He seemed civilized and well-behaved.
    [00:03:59.85]

    [00:03:59.85]
    Suddenly the light revealed him,
    [00:04:04.23]

    [00:04:04.23]
    ugh, what I saw then:
    [00:04:08.36]

    [00:04:08.36]
    he was a good-for-nothing lazy blow-hard
    [00:04:12.81]

    [00:04:12.81]
    he was a boastful empty suit
    [00:04:18.56]

    [00:04:26.77]
    I made a mistake.
    [00:04:31.05]

    [00:04:31.05]
    I thought she was beautiful
    [00:04:33.55]

    [00:04:33.55]
    but in the end I was way off.
    [00:04:35.49]

    [00:04:35.49]
    Oh my head, oh my nose, I made a big mistake.
    [00:04:39.56]

    [00:04:39.56]
    A mistake, a mistake, I made a mistake
    [00:04:47.42]

    [00:04:47.42]
    I thought she was beautiful but oops, no she wasn't.
    [00:04:52.00]

    [00:04:52.00]
    Oh my head, oh my nose, I made a big mistake.

    This may not be your problem but I had the same PROBLEM IN PotPlayer because it had hotkeys that I must have inadvertently hit that mirrored and/or flipped video. Make sure that player you use doesn't have any effects that affect the subtitles. That would make sense why Tencoder would also fail if ity does.. Just a thought...
