Is there a way to embed subtitles in a DivX ?

I don't want to have an external file or multiplex them in a different stream.

What I want is to make the part of the picture to include them inside the actual movie frame.

Hope I made myself clear

Avidemux does this fine, and is included in most distros now

Open the video file in avidemux, rebuild vbr talbe if necessary and unpack if it asks you to. Then in the side bar on the left in the Video section, select which codec you want to use, and click the filters button. Add a filter and use the subtitler filter. Then save your video, the subs will be encoded into the actual picture.

Are you sure you want to do this, especially since you're using a lossy DivX file to begin with? It makes much more sense to embed the subtitle stream into the divx file or get the original vobs and encode them with the subtitler filter.

Thanx, I did not expect to get an answer after all those days....

Actually It's not for me. A friend wanted me to burn him a movie I had this way because he wants to be able to watch it in Xbox. I was sure this was feasible but did not know how to do it in linux.

Thanx again,
