DivX/Xvid Subtitles

[weaver4]

Is there a standard format for subtitles files for SAPs that play XviD and DivX. These are subtitle that I do not want to have burned in?

If I have the VOBs is there a tool that will make these files for me?

As far as I'm aware, the most common subtitle formats for stand-alone players supporting MPEG-4 (Part-2) video streams placed within the .AVI container are: -
SRT (SubRipText),
SSA (SubStation Alpha)
SUB (MicroDVD)
Followed by: -
ASS (Advanced SubStation Alpha),
SUB (SubViewer)
SMI (Sami Captioning)
All of which are "text based"....
