I have an .AVI and the subtitles are in a .SUB file. How do I burn the subtitles into the AVI, preferable as fixed (=witten into or just below the movie)?
Any help is appreciated.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

By opening your file, loading the subtitles file in the Filters tab ("Load subs"), selecting DivX preset, and hitting "Encode".

*sigh* I really thought point 2 was the key for me too. Sadly not. I've been tryng nonstop for two days now to burn subtitles into a .avi file, and obviously keep the sound. Try as I might, I can do one, but not the other.
What has broken my spirit on this is that using the Preview button in the Filters tab, both sound and subtitles are just fine. The subtitles don't show up using the main Preview button though, the one to the right of the Save As... filename at the top of the window. How can this be? Only major can save the day...
Here is the information at the top of the main window on the file:
mpeg4, 640x272, 23.98 fps. AUDIO: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5 channels, 384 kb/s
And here is the information from the Info box for the (partially) encoded file:

********************
To sum up: Help!
PS I get the same "Could not determine file format Cannot load subtitles: " message in the Info whether I try to load the .sub file or the .idx file. They are definitely readable using the Filters Preview button though, so they aren't dodgy files as such. -
Why not just load the video into Virtual Dub, add the TextSub filter, load the .sub file into the TextSub filter, and save under a new file name?

Does anyone know the solution to my problem with ffmpeg - should I start a fresh thread the better to attract major's attention? -
A solution of sorts: Plan C was to download MPlayer for Mac OS X, as unlike VLC it's supposed to be able to deal with .sub files - and it can! I'd heard bad things about MPlayer on OS X, but I can't see why: it plays the movie with subtitles perfectly, at full screen too (DVI TiBook circa 2002 on 10.3.5)
I'd like to burn in the subtitles for safekeeping if someone can talk me through the steps for ffmpeg, but at least I can watch it now! -
