I have a subtitle with 2 files - a .sub and .idx but can't work how to use it with an .avi file. I have a small program called sub2srt but can't get it to work - it's in a foreign language and no matter what I try, nothing happens. Can someone please explain how to get the conversion done? Many thanks.
That program won't convert Vobsub/IDX files. The options are: Find a .srt file at the likes of: http://divxsubtitles.net/page_subtitleinformation.php?ID=61385 Or OCR the subs with SubtitleCreator (a tedious affair). http://www.videohelp.com/tools/SubtitleCreator Or, if you have a standalone DVD player that can play DivX files, use AVIAddXSubs to add the subtitle stream to the video. A new file will be created with the extension .divx Your player may reject a file with that name - so add .avi to the end. Note that these subs cannot be seen on the PC. The process is very fast and the subtitles will be selectable with the remote. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/AVIAddXSubs
There is a way to play these subs on the PC if divx is installed. If you open the soft-subbed avi in WMP, a small divx icon will open in the tray, bottom right. Right click and select subtitles.
