I've got a movie and the quality is ok, not great but decent before i add subs in VirtualDub, i add them and that's fine, but when it come to 'compression' is where it all messes up. I don't know which one to use, so i just try them and the one i tried saved the file about the same size but it was all blurred. Any idea what to do to save the quality of my movie while adding subs? do i have to use compression? or will it just save as a huge file if not? I just want the subs added to it then saved as an AVI. Thanks

(sorry if this seemed rushed, if any other info is needed i'll fill it in shortly, i'm being rushed ATM) thanks

Re-encoding lossy to lossy causes a quality hit and subtitles are not easy to compress. So if you use the same compressor, at the same bitrate (required for the same size) then you are going to see some quality loss. Given a high enough bitrate it should not be noticable, however it may make the file too large for whatever media you were planning on storing it.

If possible just keep the AVI as is and use softsubs or if you are only planning on re-encoding the AVI. Forget about it and just frameserve.
