I tried following those directions on this link.
http://avs4you.com/Guides/How-to-convert-video-with-subtitles.aspx
I used MKCextract to extract the file to an external file and used subtitle workshop to save it in a different format like srt. But the AVS Video Converter Program still doesn't seem to see that external file and I don't know why. It still only sees the files internal stream and not the external produced file. I even tried giving the subtitle file the same name as the video file except for the extension saying .srt. IF it helps the output format I am trying for is for ipod. So how do I get the AVC to see the external subtitle file so it can add that as an option and so the settings for subtitles in the settings tab will actually have some effect on the subtitle appearance. I mean is that setting -> subtitles only for DVD output or what?. At least the "Any Video Creator" free version I found online can give decent subtitles to those files that have internal streams subtitles and while the free version can't cut of the black bars on my files it takes the subtitles and put them in a font that's easily read and white against the background. All I want to do I change the font and maybe size so the subtitles can be read.
Again how to make a external subtitles visible to Video converter program? IT doesn't show an extra option when there is an external file. It shows the same option as the internal stream alone is present.
