Insert Subtitels into AVI permanent???

[lnetzel]

I have a movie and an english subtitle with files: (in the same directory as the AVI)
*.sub
*.idx
*.ifo

I installed VobSub 1.58 and when I play the movie th esubtitle is perfect... but it's not there when I open it in Virtual Dub... I wanna convert this Avi AND subtitle into and SVCD and I can't find anyway to make the Subtitle "burnt" into the AVI. The subtitle for Substation Alpha plugin for Virtual Dub did'nt accept the files. So what can I do??? please help!

These files are probably created by vobsub. Did you download the files or do you know, how they were created?
Open the avi in VirtualDub. Go to filters and add vobsub. At the vobsub configure tab open the .ifo file and select the subtitle language if more than one are available (probably not). Hit OK, add all the other filters you need, set compression and whatever you need and save avi.
If you want to make a SVCD, start the frameserver instead of saving avi and open the signpost file (.vdr) in your favorite encoder. Don't forget to install the handler.

It is also possible to frameserve with Avisynth. You know, I love Avisynth, that's why I have to mention it.

LoadPlugin("C:\..full path..\vobsub.dll")
AVISource("D:\..full path..\filename.avi")
VobSub("D:\..full path..\vts_02_0")

"vts_02_0" is an example, type here the name of the .ifo file.
