+
+<P><B>MEncoder</B> is capable of extracting subtitles from DVD into
+Vobsub fomat files.  They consist of a pair of files ending in .idx
+and .sub and are usually packaged in a single .rar archive.  MPlayer
+can play these with the <I>-vobsub</I> and <I>-vobsubid</I> options.</P>
+
+<P>You specify the basename (i.e without the .idx or .sub extension)
+of the output files with <I>-vobsubout</I> and the index for this
+subtitle in the resulting files with <I>-vobsuboutindex</I>.</P>
+
+<P>If the input is not from a DVD you should use <I>-ifo</I> to
+indicate the .ifo file needed to construct the resulting .idx file
+</P>
+
+<P>If the input is not from a DVD and you don't have the .ifo file
+you'll need to use the <I>-vobsubid</I> option to let it know what
+language id to put in the .idx file.</P>
+
+<P>Each run will append the running subtitle if the .idx and .sub
+files already exist.  So you should remove any before starting.
