AVIAddXSubs is a simple program to incorporate subtitles (XSUB) from .srt (ANSI text, up to 8 srt) or idx/sub (containing up to 8 subtitles) quickly and easily to your avi files containing DivX/XVid video streams.

Just place the avi and its associated (same name) srt in the same directory and Drag&Drop the avi on AVIAddXSubs icon or shortcut in your desktop.

In 2-3 minutes a new file with divx extension will be created and be ready to play in your hardware DivX player.

ATTENTION:

￭ After the incorporation of the subtitles, the .srt is not needed any more. Do not put this file together with the generated divx in the player.
￭ Please have in mind that this program's purpose is to show subtitles in your hardware player and not PC. At PC, for testing reasons before burn, use DivX player from www.divx.com. In case you just want to view subtitled videos at PC there are more suitable methods than subtitle incorporation, like DirectVobSub.
￭ You can incorporate subtitles to many avi files in the same time if all those files reside in the same directory (for example the avi of a whole season together with their srt). Just select them and drag&drop in program's icon or shortcut. You can select either avi or srt. Never both of them because operation will be executed twice for every file.
￭ There is no re-encoding so video quality is not compromised. XSUB subtitles is a technology (and trade mark) introduced from DivX company. XSUB are not actually burned in the picture the way other programs do (like virtualdub). XSUB subtitles are inserted in the avi as an additional stream (other than video and audio) and work in similar way as the subtitles offered from normal DVDs.
￭ In case you wish to replace the incorporated subtitles just repeat the operation with another srt (or idx/sub). AVIAddXSubs always removes any subtitles already existed in the source avi/divx file.
￭ This program do not use third party utilities like DivXMux.
￭ Supports the following OS: NT/W2K/XP/VISTA. Works also with Wine in Linux.
￭ You can use DivX Player from www.divx.com to see the subtitles in your PC. But have in mind that the results you see there, under the current configuration of the AVIAddXSubs, will not, mandatory, be the the same in your player. Nothing you do in your PC can inform you for the results in your DivX player. You can only experiment with your player directly to find out the correct configuration. Nothing assures that any player in PC and any desktop DivX player handle XSUB subtitles the same way, and most of the times they don't.
￭ Subtitles for "latin" languages like english, Italics, French, German etc, have to use ANSI at character set option at configuration page.
￭ If you download subtitle files in other formats than srt, still you can use AVIAddXSubs to incorporate the subtitles. Just use Subtitle Workshop (freeware too) and convert almost from any subtitle format to another.
￭ For information about the options of the program, please read the readme file supplied in the distribution zip

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· "Break long lines" is replaced by a new option "Rearrange Subtitle Text (Optimize)". This option takes three values. "When very long", "Always" and "Never". Now the user has the option to optimize (rearrange) subtitle text in every case, even when the text is calculated it fits in the given resolution. In this case, the user, selects "Always".
· Added option "Overscan". This option affects the operation of "Rearrange Subtitle Text" option mentioned above. If checked then the defined horizontal resolution it shrinks about 13% to adapt to the overscan effect that TV sets have when connected to the player with analogue connections. Some part of the picture, left and right, is cut off or goes out of screen. This effect it doesn't appear when HDMI is used. Please note that until this version "Overscan" it was considered by default checked. So now the user can uncheck this option if HDMI is used and wishes the "Rearrange" option to utilize a bigger width in its text optimizations.
· Minor bug ...
