For reasons that are beyond me, I need to demux the video, one audio stream, and one subtitle stream from a .mkv and mux them into one .avi. I have the streams, a sound-less, sub-less .avi, an .mp3, and an .ass subtitle.

Does anything support adding .ass files to .avi's? When I try to convert formats to .srt or .ssa, I lose special formatting.

if you want to join the AVI file with the subtitle stream I think you'll have to re-encode teh video, this will result in lower quality than your original. I am not too sure of how to convert between avi's but i remember reading in this forum that you can use VirtualDubMod. I have successfully used the program to encode the an .ass subtitle stream using the filter capability and frame serving but i took the AVI and converted it to mpeg2 for dvd burning. THis may still be of help.

Thanks for that link, it showed me exactly how to do it. I had to reinstall VobSub and include the TextSub filter plugin to do it.

Re-encoding the video I knew about, and the source AVI I had was close enough to my target size so that very little visible quality loss was present.

I wouldn't want to move the subs around, since their location was part of the reason that I couldn't / didn't want to convert to another sub format. I can change the line break formatting, and I had to scrap three encodes of the movie since I had no idea what exactly was in the sub formatting and what wasn't.

*joke*Knowing this, plus my newfound knowledge of SubtitleWorkshop, may lead me to the dark and sunless world of Fansubbing.*/joke*

To edit a subtitle BEFORE you encode it, try SubtitleWorkshop. You can find links to it everywhere on these forums. If you load a movie, you can do whatever you want with the subs while seeing it in action. Give it a shot.
