avi extract.

[ashidosai]

I'm looking for a tool like MKVExtractGUI but for AVI files also need an AVi merge tool.

VirtualDubMod

AVImux GUI

Click on the links and you'll get descriptions.

VirtualDubMod is an editor but it allows you to mux and demux too.

eh ive had that program before, looks way more confusing than the mkv tools i have.

[ashidosai]

what does the avi mux do, only extract?
it looked like it done both but when extracted the subs in an anime aren't there.

??

[poisondeathray]

Are the subs a text file inside the .avi container? or hardcoded? You cannot remove hardcoded subs

Avi-mux gui is analogous to mkvmerge for .mkv

i'm not sure, I'm new to all of this, usually i have to convert mkv HD video files to SD xvid's so my out of date computer will play them. I use mkv extract to extract the files, fonts subs ect, then with the converted xvid video I replace the HD one then merge it all with mkv merge. btw if it's hard subbed then the subs would be one with the video??? inotherwords when i convert, the subs will still be there??? idk ive never tried to do this with AVI files, never had to till now, Most avi files are usually SD's.

[ashidosai]

Awesome it seems that i was right, that if it's hardsubbed; the subs and the video file are one and when converted, the subs are still there.

Yes, hardsubbed means the subtitles are part of the picture, they cannot be removed. Soft subs are separate text or image files (multiplexed into the file, or as separate files) that are overlaid onto the picture by the player during playblack.
