The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,
I have a few .AVI files (DivX and XviD) with embedded subtitles. VLC seems to detect the streams, but when I enable the subtitles from the VIDEO menu, nothing happens.-

I believe VLC doesn't support embedded subtitles within avi containers or at least certain types . I could be wrong.

Have never run across embedded subs in an AVI container outside of DivX 6 subs that are not supported.

I recently came across a set of AVI files which I am assured have embedded english subtitles. I prefer watching Anime in Japanese... I feel it is better.

Do you have any suggestions for me? I have tried everything I know of to get the subtitles to work, but, thus far, have been unable to do so. There is a little message at the beginning that says GAB2 if I turn on the subtitles, but nothing further.
