Playing an avi with subtitles format: *.sub

[androoz]

is there anyway i can play an avi movie with subtitles in the format of *.sub in say media player? or even better, convert my *.sub into *.srt?

i tried using my Ffdshow filter and also my DivXG400 filter to load my *.sub files but they fefuse to.

i created my *.sub files from VobSub.

ive tried SubRip but i dont really like it as sometimes my "I" and "l" get confused for one another...
