Hey all. I've pretty much got this ffmpegx thing figured out, and can burn subtitles onto .avi files when converting from .mpeg no problem. But when I went to do a .vob to .avi, I input the subtitles in the exact same way, and it came out the other end as a beautiful .avi but without any subtitles at all. I searched the forums but may have missed it if this question has been answered before... At any rate, is there something different that I need to do?
Thanks for all your help so far.

Oh, I have a mac, so I can't use that program unfortunately. I take it, then, that .vob files don't accept subtitles? And I'll have to convert it twice? (First to a format that will allow subtitles, and finally to burn the subtitles proper?)

vob files can contain subs. they are mpeg-2 video, audio, and subs but they can contain multiples of each. until you extract just one of each you may have problems.
find something that can extract a single stream of video, audio, and sub to use as input.--

ffmpegX will pick the first video stream and one selected audio stream from the VOB. ffmpegX ignores any subtitle stream from the VOB if the 'VOB Subtitles' checkbox (in the Filters tab) is not set.
