[MPlayer-users] writing/burning subtitles

[Andreas Doering]

Hi everybody,

trying to include DVD-subtitles into a divx4avi file doesn't
work for me. Playing them does. I considered writing about how
"mencoder ... -sid ..." doesn't do what it should before I read
someone elses mail about the same problem, and the answer was:
RTFM. Well actually, I did (or at least thought I did). E.g.
DOCS/faq.html says:

>5.6. Encoding
>...
>Q: I can't encode DVD subtitles into the AVI !
>A: You have to specify the -sid option correctly!

So obviously (and not only for me obviously) it could/should work like
"mencoder ... -sid ..." , even if the manpage does not mention an -sid
option. If that is not correct, please, someone, do yourselves a
favour and update the FAQ.

Still, my question remains: Is there/will there be the possibility to
include/burn the subtitles in to the avi? It would be a very nice feat to
enhance the already wonderful m* suite :-)

Bye, Andy
