View Full Version : [ubuntu] Merging subtitles with movies

I was wondering if there's any program that could fuse srt subtitle files to avi movie files, so that the subtitles appear with the movie visuals. I need a single movie file as a conclusion.

Thanks for the help.

Edit: I'm currently trying to use mencoder right now. Is there a subtitle file that contains different font styles, and that mencoder/mplayer supports correctly? My friend suggested VobSub, but I can't find a SRT-to-VobSub converter compatible with linux.

That's sad. This web page almost nails it:

mencoder -o fileiwantatend.avi -sub subtitlesfile.srt -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell theactualmovie.avi
I've tested it, but it doesn't show italics or bold styles, which I use extensively in my translations.

I might also add that for whatever reason, Avidmux can't open my video files, either.
