[bioche]

Hi, I'm a newbie in encoding movies. I have an avi movie that already have a chinese subtitle in it but instead i want to put an english subtitle (that i already have) on the movie coz i don't read no chinese. Can anyone explain to me how to put the english subtitle please.

Thanks a lot

No way to take off a subtitle if it is "burned inside" the movie. The only solution for you is to display your other subtitle at another position.

WHAT IS THE BEST PROGRAM FOR ADDING SUBTITLE TO .AVI or maybe VCD ???

You can 'display' subtitles (with a player that is able to do that, and there are quite a few, BSPlayer for example) or you can re-encode the movie with tha subtitles in the image frames: You can do that with VirtualDub (you also need VirtualDub subtitle plug-in, and something to convert your .srt subtitles in .ssa - SubStationAlpha format, eg. SubtitleWorkshop). However, you can not delete the chinese subtitles, so it can look a bit messy.
