subtitles embedded within mp4 container

[derrickec]

Hi all, I've been working on this one for quite some time with no luck. I scoured the forums but couldn't find this question.

I have a few mp4 and avi files that have subtitle tracks embedded in them. I'm trying to burn the subs onto the image, but I can't get ffmpegx to pick them up, can't get VLC to transcode them, etc. Is there any way to extract the subs to a seperate file so I can then use ffmpegx to burn them to the image? Or is there a program that anyone knows of that will extract them?

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Can't this be done with QuickTime Pro?
