  1. Thanks! This blog post really saved me the time on looking on the numerous forums on the Internet!

    I will try this one first, and will give a feedback if it does work! Thanks again!

    (By the way, does it work with XviDs too?)

  4. I have been looking for something so that I can put subtitles into my avi movies and your blog just gave me the solution. I tried it and it’s working. Now I can watch my movies with the subtitles. Thanks
