Mencoder & IDX/SUB subtitles ??

[Mo2oo5]

hi ^^
I'm wondering how to get Mencoder to burn vobsub subtitles on the movie ??
i tried using the command " -vobsub " but it didn't work ?
I'm using an app called AVI2PMP here's the download package

I just tried , It didn't work
It only works with text subtitles like .srt , I want it to work with Ripped DVD subtitles ...

... pls help ??

Not that I think it will work, but you could try using mkvmerge to create a mkv file with the subtitles included and see if mencoder can handle it. I doubt it though.

Maybe not easier and quite hassle actually but If vobsubs works OK on mplayer you can feed video output to mencoder.
mkfifo pipe
mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg:file=pipe -ao null file -sub sub
mencoder pipe -cache 5000 +other stuff
