Hi and welcome to the forum!
Your question has been answered many times, by many members of this forum and by my self too. The process is not so easy if you are not too familiar with DivX encoding... However, try to use the "Search" option, I am sure there are a few posts with this subjects.
Just to give you a little information, you may need to use a few programs: Avisynth, VobSub and, of course, a program to convert to avi (VirtualDub or Dr. DivX).
I suggest you get the program "AutoGK", it has all the tools you need to do the job you want... and it can also convert to avi, automatically with permanent subtitles, if the subtitles are already in the DVD.
Greetings! :)

If you're starting with DVDs, then I recommend Auto Gordian Knot (AutoGK). It's a very easy-to-use application, with a lot of capability. It supports the "burning-in" of subtitles, which is what you want to do.

Doom9 has a guide, and it comes with a very nice tutorial as well.

You have a very large image in your signature. It's cute and funny, for sure, but I believe it could be considered in violation of Rule 7, which all of our low-speed users are concerned with, and, since it's risque, may be interpreted as profane, which could run you afoul of Rule 4, too.

Please, consider changing to a smaller and less likely controversial image. For more on our rules, please click on http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm. Thanks!

If you're starting from AVI file rather than DVD, AutoGK can do that, but you won't like the quality loss accrued through re-encoding.

You can leave your subtitles in separate files for playing on a PC, either with DirectVobSub or with an AVI player that supports separate subtitle files, such as BSPlayer. There are some standalone AVI players that support limited types of external subtitle files. I don't know what your intended purpose is with burned-in subtitles, so I wanted you to be aware of your options.

If you want to burn the subtitles into the avi you can use the VirtualDub subtitle plugin - to add ssa subs to an AVI - found in the downloads section. It can only take in ssa subs so you will have to convert from whatever format you have already. You then will have to reencode the avi with VDub or start from an avs script and encode for the first time from the original DVD.

Hi-

but i know now that you cant ad permanent subs with a srt file

Yes you can.

Load the VSFilter plugin which you have because you got it with the VobSub package included with GKnot:

LoadPlugin("C:\Path\To\VSFilter.dll")

It's already part of that big .avs that GKnot makes for you. You only have to make sure that it's loaded (the "#" removed from in front). Then, if you have the idx/sub VobSubs, in the .avs you make sure they're included. Here's an example:

VobSub("C:\Shikoku\VTS_01_PGC_01_1")

Both of those 2 steps will be taken care of automatically after you've gotten the subs in the VobSub Configure in the Subtitles Tab of GKnot, and then in Save And Encode, you've checked the box and selected the VobSub files.

If you have your subs in SSA, SRT and some other formats, then you'll have to edit the .avs to add something like this line:

TextSub("C:\Path\To\MovieName.srt")

After you've finished, but before encoding, either run the Preview or open the saved .avs in VDubMod to make sure the subs show up and they look OK.

Oh, actually it cannot yet :) Or you meant GK ?

[jggimi]

I'd meant GK. I'm not the mod of misinformation for nothing!

AutoGK accepts only MPEG-2 video.
