What I use is a script called 'mencvcd', I can't find the link to it right now, the site I got it from appears to be down. It's a pretty simple script that relies on MPlayer, Transcode, MJpegTools, and a few others, so: urpmi mplayer mjpegtools transcode I'll send you the script offlist, just put it in ~/bin, then in a term run 'mencvcd' to get all the various options. Try this link later on, it seems to go up and down. It'll give you more info on what software you'll need. Read the posts in the forums for tons of info on various scripts and methods. http://dvdripping-guid.berlios.de/Divx-to-VCD_en.html If it doesn't come back up, your best bet to find how-to's is to go to google.com/linux, and put in "divx to svcd" (with the quotes) as your search terms. In any case, if the subtitles are in the DivX file, they would undoubtedly be preserved in any conversion, since they have been made part of the video stream, as opposed to on a DVD. However, mencvcd will also rip DVD's to SVCD and *then* there are options for preserving the subtitles etc., IIRC. ***BTW, please get rid of your 'reply-to' setting, at least for the list.
