is there any way to change the transparency (if that's the right word) of the font or the font itself in .SRT subtitle files? I'm sure the text in the last film I watched was much clearer and I thought if that information is stored in the SRT file itself it would be a simple matter to change it, thanks v.much

Soft subs are seperate files (such as movie.avi and movie.srt...the srt file being the subs). Most Divx players will play soft subs, however, the placement, color, size, etc. is controlled via the players firmware.
In your case, it sounds like you are wanting to take soft subs and add them to the video (creating hard subs). This can be done, but it would be more helpful to know the source of your video and subs (types of files).
Also, to prevent any further loss of quality, you would want to add the subs to the existing video, not convert the video.Google is your Friend -
thanks, yes I wouldn't want to re-encode anything just combine the video with the subtitles (changing the font if it doesn't look good) - apparently it's Xvid and the subtitle file is .SRT

No problem and good luck. If you get stuck, feel free to ask more questions.
As a side note. When experimenting, create a copy of your source files. That way, when something goes wrong, you won't lose the files.Google is your Friend
