Converting avi raw to MP4/H265 with subtitles

Postby shares » 10 Oct 2021 18:25

Hello everyone,

I have an AVI file from an old DV camcoder and a subtitles file (.sub). When I use VLC to convert to MP4/H265 + subs, it does it greatly, but I cannot control the location, size, colour and font for the subs that it adds to the video. I would like the size of the subs to be smaller so less intrusive, for example. Is there a way to achieve this?

Many thanks

.SUB subtitles file are images, you can't modify them. You need to convert them to another subtitles format.

The freeware SubtitleEdit can help you doing it:
