I am a bit confused here. You have SUP files which are separate bitmap subtitles that can be added to your final DVD using for instance IFOEDIT...
You would then have selectable subtitles just the way it s supposed to be on a DVD.

What you are trying to do, however, is to permanently burn them onto your AVI file??

In that case I would use SRT or SUB and use the TextSub or Vobsub filter within VirtualDub to add the subtitles to the video, and output it to the encoder through frameserving.

Look up the VirtualDub guides for more info.

Cheers
