I wanted to say that I can close my other thread and work specifically on my problem with DVD2AVI. I now know what everyone means and tried DVD2AVI. However, I can not figure out how to do this. I added my avi and srt. Then do I save? How do I preview it first?

I have also found subtitle studio which allows me to preview my subtitle with my movies. They are chinese subtitle but they display wierd symbols that is certainly not chinese. What do I need to do to get it back to chinese? Do I need to install something to windows?

To my little knowledge DVD2AVI is found to be used for De-Muxing sound tracks and for creating "d2v" project files and also to determine which video type of course.The connection with subtitles is unknown!.:confused:

CHANGE! I have used subtitle studio to convert my srt to ssa then I used VDub to encode them together. It potentially works. Hard encoded and everthing but I didnt let it finish because I know that the subs are not going to have proper chinese. What chinese codec I need to use to get VDub to read chinese? Or is it in windows. Can someone teach me how to install chinese to windows?

I would have to re-encode to burn the sub into the avi. But the problem is my windows cant read chinese. So the Vdub cant read chinese then it just encodes whatever symbol it sees. I just want to encode avi with chinese sub.

It takes a lifetime for people to answer. And so I found my own solution to my own problem. Download NJ Star. This is for future reference to all other chinese people in here.

oh my, get win2k or XP as soon as you can (or access to a box running it)!
then use UTF-8 in SRT or SSA (or USF;)), then you can quietly forget about what language you use. With XP (Eng/Ger/Fre), installed asian language support now i can make my subs in arabic, japanese, thai or whatever i want without having to start codepage surgery. I haven't said i can actually understand these languages but the possibility to write/edit/display is given:)
Well, this might sound a bit arrogant i know, as it tells u to get someting expensive to solve a stupid small problem, BUT believe me a unicode capable system is handy not only for subtitles. And besides that w2k and XP have many more advantages over 98/ME, especially when it comes to demanding stuff like video processing and system stability - i run XP even on boxes that are "too slow" (350mhz), i just turn off all the fancy useless "features" then it is not so much slower than 98 and sure faster than a default installed ME.
