    Does anyone know a program that can demux/extract soft encoded subtitles off an AVI file. All the subtitle ripping programs I find only work for DVD's. And don't mention VirtualDub or VirtualDubMOD because they don't detect soft encoded subtitles.

    I'm curious. How can you be sure that they're not hard encoded?

    I'm sure that they aren't hard-encoded.

    Please, don't think of me as a n00b. I'm well advanced in the ways of video editing and encoding. It's just I have very little exp dealing with soft encoded subtitles.

    I know that they are soft encoded for the following reason:
    -When I downloaded the episodes, they noted that the episodes contained soft encoded subtitles.
    -The subtitles only show up with the assistance of DirectVobSub. DirectVobSub will automatically start-up with the video and if I right click the DirectVobSub icon(which is a green-arrow next to my computer's clock) I have the ability to turn the subtitles off or on.
    -VirtualDubMOD doesn't detect the subtitles in the streams list.

    If the subtitles were hard-encoded then they would be permanently displayed throughout the video, which in my case is not.

    See my other topic for more details about my soft-encoded subtitles problem.

    If I can find a program that extracts soft-encoded subtitles then I could easily use various programs to hard-encode(mux) them into the AVI.

    Thank you deadpac!!

    You have solved my problem. AVI-Mux_GUI-1.16.4 is the perfect program i've been looking for. Now I can use that to extract the soft encoded subtitles, then I use VirtualDubMod with the Subtitler filter to add and the subtitles, then after I save it the video now has hard encoded subtitles.

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

    No offense was intended, dude. It was an honest question.
