For this example i've used the "AVI to VCD" option, now click on the "Add" button and open your AVI source file . Then click on the "Rename" to select your Output file name and path.

Step 2 - Click on "Add Subtitle" if you want to add them to the movie. You can use the Play button to check Input/Output playback. If you are satisfied with your choices, click on the "Convert" button to begin encoding.
(* NOTE: Subtitles must be located in the same folder as your AVI and have the SAME name! *)

Step 3 - When encoding, you can turn off the "Preview" to speed up the proces and click on "Stop" or "Cancel" to abort the encoding.
