I've been trying to Hardsub the AH rip of A Tree of Palme using Virtualdub but no matter what I try it's always a bloody mess, I think it's because of that XvID--FFshow crap
Anybody know of a method to do it?

Uh, you could be a little less vague, you know?

1) what's a "bloody mess?"
2) what build date of XviD are you using?
3) what are your encoding settings?
4) what filters are you running? subtitle filter?
5) what format are the subs in? SSA, .sub, .srt?


Of course, you could always skip hardsubbing it -- download a copy of VobSub from doom9 and just use DirectVobSub to softsub it (simply make sure the sub file has the same filename as your video (ie; Blah.ssa to Blah.avi))and DVobSub will auto-detect the subs and overlay them properly.)..

I think I found the problem.
You need FFdshow to watch the movie or you just get a smeared blurrry picture from the avi's. But VirtualDub can't use FFDshow because it is a Directshow filter. Thus anything needing FFdshow cannot be re-encoded by Virtualdub.
By the way I've got DirectVobSub but I'm planning to make VCD's to watch so I have to convert them to MPEG.

EO video to the rescue. Don't know how the program works exactly but it must pass through Directshow. In fact when I use it to encode the avi's it even does the subbing for me. The DirectVobSub icon pops up. I think it's actually playing the vids and converting it directly from what is played.

Use textsub and avisynth and encode it directly to vcd in virtualdub.

LoadPlugin("C:\textsub.vdf")
AviSource("C:\Source.avi")
TextSub("C:\Source.srt")

This simple 3 line avs file will work fine. No need to re-encode.
