Are you just trying to shrink file size? Only for PC play or standalone DVD?

When you have separate streams (video, audio, subtitle), just select the ones you want to keep and remux them with avimuxgui or mkvmerge to keep a mkv container

If you want to keep your re-encoded avi, you may have to convert your subtitle to a different format (like .srt) using subtitle workshop (depending on what the original format was)
