Combining Subtitles

[FZero]

I have 2 files one divx and one xvid and the subtitles in seperate .sub and .str files respectevly. I need to know how to combine the files into the movie so they become permanent.
Thanks in advance.

To "burn in" subtitles would require re-encoding your videos, producing a significant loss in quality.

So basically it won't work?

You can try storing them in a different container format, like OGM. However, then you may need to install additional software for playback.

Is there a guide I can use somewhere.

I should have been more clear. I then want to encode it into an SVCD.

Then this is the wrong forum. :rolleyes: This has nothing to do with DivX encoding, it's just that one of your sources happens to be in DivX format.

Doom9 has guides (http://www.doom9.org/conversionguides.htm) for converting AVI to SVCD; I recommend using the DVD2SVCD guide.

To add the subtitles, if I recall correctly, you'll need to do a custom install of Vobsub, and then add the Vobtext filter to the AviSynth script in DVD2SVCD. Someone more familiar with DVD2SVCD can guide you as necessary.
