Subtitles for XVid/Divx

po0k

I use BSPlayer to watch movies, some of which have seperate subtitle files.
I've seen various extensions, but any I've got don't seem to match up.
Has anyone gotten subtitle files working with .avis?
WHat player did you use?

Right, I picked up VideoLAN Client v0.7.0
I'm trying to play the following file:
Voices_of_a_Distant_Star_(2002).DVD-R.ShareReactor.avi
with the following subtitles, packaged in a rar as so:
Voices_of_a_Distant_Star_(2002).Subtitles.DVD-R.ShareReactor.rar
+
|
+--Voices.of.a.Distant.Star.2002.DVDRip.XviD-DVD-R.rar
| |
| +--Voices.of.a.Distant.Star.2002.DVDRip.XviD-DVD-R.sub
|
+--Voices.of.a.Distant.Star.2002.DVDRip.XviD-DVD-R.idx


I've tried opening the video file with all 4 of the above files hoping that one would be in the right format/structure.
It's bloody annoying.
Why can't everyone encode into .ogm?

it would appear that the .sub and .idx files need to be in the same directory, and that after starting the video you need to enable the subtitle stream 0,1,2 etc. though the right-click context menu.
Even though I have, it still doesn't seem to work.
Tried it with Ninja Scroll aswell.
The video is outputting in Hardware YUV DirectX mode.
Could this be stopping the subtitle overlays from being drawn on the video surface?

Why not just repackage them into an ogm? Should be fairly easy to extract the video and audio streams with graphedit and remux them with the subtitles in oggmux? Although, you'll probably need to use subrip to convert the subtitles - don't know if it will take an imput from the Sub / idx files?
