I'm using Windows 2000, and following the instructions here and here:

http://en.flossmanuals.net/ogg-theora/ch026_embedding-subtitles/
Converting an avi to ogv works just fine, but if I try to add subtitles as well, it fails almost immediately with a message saying "failed to encode kate data packet". Here's what it looks like:

After that, I get a 64kb .ogv file with about a second of video.
Perhaps it would be easier to learn to use .mkv as it's better documented, but I'm trying to figure out the .ogv format because it's the only one that's currently supported by BitLet video streaming (http://www.bitlet.org/video). So any help would be greatly appreciated. (by the way, I also tried out several GUI tools that are available for creating OGVs, but none of them have any options for adding subtitles) What I'm really looking for, I guess, is a torrent streaming video option that will play soft-coded subtitles. BitLet seems to come close, although I'm not sure if their player supports subtitles or not.
P.S. I also asked this question here (https://answers.launchpad.net/ffmpeg2theora/+question/165607) but received no answer as of yet, so I decided to ask on this forum as well.
