is it possible to remove subtitles from a avi

[setarip]

To eliminate subtitles from (DivX-compressed or other) .AVI videos

If you are fortunate enough to have the subtitles appearing below the movie image (rather than across the image itself, you can "erase" the subtitles by using VirtualDub as follows (it's not as complicated as it sounds):

1) Load the .AVI into VirtualDub (or one of its variants)
2) Set "Audio" to "Direct Stream Copying"
3) Set "Video" to "Full Processing Mode"
4) From under the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Compression" and select the same codec and settings that were used for the original .AVI
5) From under the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Filters"
6) Click on the "Add" radio button
7) Doubleclick on the "Null transform" filter
8) Click on the "Cropping" radio button
9) Enter the proper amount in the "Y2 offset" (at lower left) to cut off the subtitles
10) Click on "OK"
11) Click on the "Add" radio button
12) Doubleclick on the "Resize" filter
13) Under "New width and height" enter the NEW dimensions of your cropped video (e.g. 720x440)
14) Select "Precise bicubic"
15) Put a checkmark in "Expand frame and letterbox image"
16) Set "frame width" and "frame height" to the ORIGINAL dimensions (e.g. 720x480)
17) Click on "OK" (brings you back to primary "Filters" screen" and then click on "OK" (to get back to main VirtualDub screen)
18) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save AVI" and save with a NEW filename

Did you do the following?:

15) Put a checkmark in "Expand frame and letterbox image"
16) Set "frame width" and "frame height" to the ORIGINAL dimensions (e.g. 720x480)

yes i did. the fact of the matter is you can set the size of the screen as large as you want, but the section of the screen where the subtitles appeared will not be displayed as you have cut it. i'd rather have the subtitles and the whole screen!!!

If you are saying that the subtitles appear across the movie image and not across a "black bar" below the image, I guess you missed the very first sentence of my very first response in this thread, to wit:

"If you are fortunate enough to have the subtitles appearing below the movie image (rather than across the image itself)..."

Mr:setarip you said the following:

"If you are saying that the subtitles appear across the movie image and not across a "black bar" below the image, I guess you missed the very first sentence of my very first response in this thread, to wit:

"If you are fortunate enough to have the subtitles appearing below the movie image (rather than across the image itself)...""



So if that is the case, do you have any other methods?or let me ask you my question in a different way: "Is it possible to remove subtitles from the avi files that the subtitles appear across the movie image itself?

"Is it possible to remove subtitles from the avi files that the subtitles appear across the movie image itself?"

Nope...
