how to hardcode subtitles into divx movies?

[redshadow01]

Hi there. I'm trying to preserve the foreign language subtitles in James Bond "Die Another Day", and I would like to have them hardcoded into the AVI and not have to have the VobSub direct show filter for playback. I have looked in this forum and in various faq's, but, have come up empty on a way to do this.

I have ripped the forced subtitles only using SubRip, but from this point I'm stuck.

Any help you could offer is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
RedShadow

You can accomplish this by using VirtualDub and the (surprise!) VobSub plug-in for VirtualDub...

could anyone please be more specfic on how to do this with virtualdub? I have avi files and matching .sub and .srt subtitle files and would need to mux them together without needing any further filters/plugins...
Many thanks!

Use matroska as container instead of old AVI, and mux your subs into the same file using VirtualdubMod, but without hardcoding them into the video please ..... the loss of quality for the necessary reencoding of the video sucks badly, and hardcoded subs in the picture suck even more IMHO ....

With latest DVobSub 2.25 you can display any UTF8 subtitle stream in a matroska file, our record for a test file was 63 different languages now .....

for redshadow01 and zymbalist .i couldnt do this with vob sub ,but i dine it with virtualdub,sub station alpha 4.08 and subtitler filter for virtualdub.it was very easy.

This doesnt solve the problem, the page given by setarip doesnt show that famous plug-in... the original question hasnt been answered...

[setarip]

As an alternative, go to:

http://www.virtualdub.org/virtualdub_filters

for Avery Lee's (VirtualDub author) own subtitle filter for VirtualDub...
