Hardcoding Subtitles
 

I searched and came up with nothing, I've googled as well but found nothing useful. What I want to do is hardcode subs onto an avi, windows tells me the video is XVID and the audio is AC3. now is there a simple way to do this? I've tried using VirtualDub but it starts encoding things and giving me a 4GB+ file from a 1.47GB source...

I just want to stick the bloody subtitles on top of the video without changing anything else... :(

You need to install the vobsub plugin and select your sub file. As well when encoding you need to select the xvid codec so it doesn't dump out a raw avi file. VirtualDub isn't really a beginner type of software. Check www.videohelp.com for more help or all in one programs or walkthroughs.

If you have the .sub or .srt files and the movie in in a .avi container.

I suggest "avi recomp". I used that to hardcode my softsubs so that I could stream them on the PS3 or xbox. The program is like 3 steps and it does it all for you.

^ thanks, that's what I've got so I'll try that right now.

I did both of those things, according to the tutorial I was following I should've gotten the same file out + hard subs, but it didn't work. Are there different types of XVID?

i had searched for it before too, just follow the steps and it worked for me. good luck!

^ that's one of the tutorials that I tried, to no avail. I just finished using the AVI Recomp that DragonChi suggested and it worked like a charm
