Ripped AVI and subtitles

I have a movie that is ripped - movie.avi and movie.subs

I moved only the avi file to my video directory. When I play the avi (using mplayer), no subtitles appear. Do I need to copy the sub file to the video file as well. Is there some setting I need to enable in mplayer? Is it possible to see the subtitles without the sub file?

Fedora 8 and Myth 0.21

Place your subtitles under ~/.mplayer/subs/

So if the files are in these two directories

/mythv/media/Videos/movie.avi
~/.mplayer/subs/movie.sub

mplayer will pick-up the subtitles at the right parts of the movie? And
if I name the subs file movie1.sub, I assume that when I play movie.avi
mplayer won't pick them up?

Hm, I actually found a typo in my reply. The directory should be named "sub"
instead of "subs".

You need to setup something like so...

mymovie.avi
mymovie.srt

or

mymovie.avi
mymovie.idx
mymovie.vob

Of course mplayer needs to be able to find the subtitles.

That's probably not practical.

Although it does make for some interesting per-frontend
possibilities.

from what you state it seems all those files would have to be in the same directory?

That's just the way I do it. I find that it suits my preferences.
I don't know if it can be done otherwise. That's just what I managed
to get out of the relevant documentation (for various players).

$mkdir ~/movies/sub
$ln -s ~/movies/sub ~/.mplayer/sub

Afterwards put all subs under ~/movies/sub and point all your players to
this directory or symlink the players you can't control.
