Adding permanent subtitles to VCD movies

[DrGreenPt]

Can you tell me what is the fastest way to add permanent subtitles to a movie already in VCD/SVCD (MPEG1/MPEG2)?

My dvd player doesnt support selectable subtitles in SVCD's so I have to put permanent subtitles in the MPEG file and burn it again.

Thanks

frameserve with virtual dub there is a guide in the edit section on this site

I've tried that, but there's a problem:

my video is in MPEG-2 and when i open it with VirtualDub it says: "No video frames found in MPEG file".

Does this works only for MPEG-1?

If so, how can I convert MPEG-2 to MPEG-1?

Thanks

im a bit of a noob but i think you need to get this verison VirtualDub-MPEG2-AC3(not sure where i got it from)... if it dont work u might have to convert the mpeg to avi then frameserve
best of luck

TRY VIRTUALDUBMOD it allows mpeg2 as input .. it seems fairly reasonable to use .. not used it for subtitles myself.
