srt & .ssa files ( Subrip & Sub Station Alpha )

.srt files will first need converting to .ssa files,to do this you can use SRTtoSSA



Then follow the steps in the above guide which take you to choosing your filter,here you will need to select the subtitler filter instead of vobsub.

on the following screen you can select the wrapping for your subs (smart wrapping is usually best) & also use the preview button to see what it will look like, then you can proceed with your re-encoding.

.sub files ( microDVD )

To use these you will have to convert from .sub to .srt using SubTool....

Select Convert and open the MicroDVD .sub file
Select Output format SubRip
And hit Convert and you get yourself a .srt subtitle file

Then simply follow the instructions for .srt & .ssa files

In the meantime, use ffdshow-tryouts and its processor-specific optimizations You could also check out guides to optimize your system, close/uninstall unnecessary programs/services, etc. I don't know about HD, but it's possible to play full DivX rips with 300MHz processors seamlessly.

Install CoreAVC, it's a pretty fast and resource sparing decoder.

Yes, but home DVD players won't show the subtitles if you just burn the AVI and SRT files. With this method you can get them working. ConvertXToDVD can also add them and make them toggleable with the remote control's "SUBTITLE" key.

This guide is good for those who want to stream their movies on media players that don't support separate subtitle files. Or in my case for doing VCDs. Damn, that was a long time ago.

Can I ask if any method like this work for MKV files as well? I have a LCD TV which can play MKV files but for some reason I can't choose subtitles, so I wanna hardsub them into mkv file. Is it possible?
