Converting to VCD,SVCD,DVD or AVI

3. Right click on the Directshow Multimedia File Reader and select Higher
Priority, repeat it until it is on the top of the list.
Open the video with wizard or manual. The subtitles should now appear. Use
File->Preview in TMPGEnc to check that you can see the subtitles before
encoding.
Last just convert to VCD
or SVCD or
DVD as usual.
To convert to AVI,DivX or XviD with permanent
subtitles use TMPGEnc. In TMPGEnc first close the wizard, choose file->new
project, open the video, choose File->Output to file->AVI File. Select a
video compression like DivX or XviD and choose an audio compression like MP3
and hit save.
