The VideoLAN Forums

Hi there,

Want to know if anybody knows how I can create new stream output files with subs in them (as part of the video output). I use a Netgear EVA700 which doesn't support .srt files.

VLC plays the file perfectly and shows the subtitles, but when I save the output to a file, the subtitles aren't included.

As far as I can imagine, VLC should be able to do this.

Can anyone help please?

You need to enable transcoding to embed subs into picture. This can substantially affect the quality of output. Are you sure you want to do this?

Since this is the only manner to include subs, yes, this is what I want.

Can you please tell me how to do it? I tried several options, but none of them created an output-file with embedded subs

Post your command line, we'll try to give a hint.

:sout=#transcode{soverlay}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\Bureaublad\deal.avi"}}

You should specify necessary transcode options (vcodec, vb, acodec, ab, etc) to encode your new output stream.
