DivX Media subtitle creation (xsub)

I created a little utility that converts .bmp files to .xsub subtitles, mostly for playback in my hardware player.
The .xsub files can be muxed directly in your avi files with fuse.exe.

First thing, we need bitmaps for every subtitle.
For that use SubRip and save subtitles as .bmp files.

Format:
-Philips SVCD Designer
-4bits
-Custom Colors (you HAVE to use custom colors, dont know why), color 1 should be black
-Minimum picture width 720, minimum picture height 576 (PAL) or 480 (NTSC)
-As Output format for the timecode file you have to use TurboTitler .tts format

Then convert the bitmaps to .xsub with bmptoxsub:
BMPTOXSUB timecodefile xsubfile bitmapfile(without the numbers at the end) PAL/NTSC switch

Example:
bmptoxsub english\time.tts test.xsub english\bitmap PAL

The bitmap filenames would be in this example bitmap00001.bmp, bitmap00002.bmp,...
Make sure they start with 00001.

The resulting .xsub file can be muxed with fuse.exe:
fuse -v film.avi -s test.xsub -o film.divx

--edit
I did not even know the name of my program...
