All major Linux media players (Totem, mplayer, VLC player) allow you to add subtitles to a movie while watching it. This post describes how you can permanently add the subtitles in an AVI file, which is useful if you want to burn the movie to a video DVD. (Notice however that this technique does not allow you to add more than one subtitle streams to the movie, or disable the subtitles while watching the movie; the subtitles are hard-wired to the movie).
The software package we are going to use is called avidemux and it can be easily installed through aptitude if the universe/multiverse packages are enabled.
The procedure required to add the subtitles is this:
-
Launch avidemux.
-
Open the .avi file. With all files I have tried so far, I get these warnings:
It is best to let avidemux do what it wants to do - it only takes a few seconds.
- Select a video encoder from the pull-down menu on the left pane, where it says Video. I believe this can be anything, but it is preferable to choose the same encoder as the one used in the original movie. I normally use Xvid4 and it works just fine.
- Configure the encoder by clicking the "Configure" button. In my opinion, no configuration is actually require in order to get an acceptable result. Even one-pass encoding works fine. The only thing that you might want to adjust is the size of the output file.
-
Add a subtitler filter. First click on the "Filters" button in the left pane (under Video). This brings up the following window:
Select Subtitles→Subtitler. You can now configure your subtitles using the window shown in the image below.
This window allows you to select the subtitles file, the encoding (it supports UTF-8, so it works fine with non-latin alphabets), and the font, color, size and position of the subtitles.
- It appears that there is no need to select an audio encoder; "COPY" works just fine (since we do not wish to make any changes to the sound). Make sure that the "Format" is set to "AVI". The result can be previewed by clicking on the far right icon and then pressing play.
- To finalize the process, click Save and type in a name for the output file. Note that the whole process can take a while. For example in my laptop it took maybe more than an hour to encode a 40min movie file, at an average speed of 16FPS (while doing other stuff as well).

Thanks, works great
thanks! good how-to, easy to put in practice, what i was looking for....
Good explanation, helped me out of a major brain fart situation. Many thanks.
Really helped me out. I appreciate it.
I don't know why, but I did everything you said and I cannot still see the subtitles.... Any Idea?
Thanks -- this was really helpful.
Alberto, I think your problem might be that avidemux might not be picking up your fonts (that's what's happened to me) as it doesn't seem to give a warning about that. Try clicking browse on the font file it selects for the subs and see if that leads anywhere.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about all the time.

[color=#b4445c]Follow these tips to keep your facebook poker chips safe:
Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy. You may meet a stranger in poker room and you are friends with him/her.

Be careful about what you download: Regular online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an advantage on their opponents. Poker is no different and there are many websites on the internet having facebook poker cheats and hacks for those brave enough to download and install them. But many of these so called facebook poker cheats have viruses or trojan programs. The moment you install any of these your computer is at the risk of attacks by the creator of the program. He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you’re probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.
Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Scammers send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the scammer who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.
YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you’ll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.
Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by hacker, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.
