Hello,

You should just be able to load the subtitle and remux it with the video.
So algorithm would be
1. Open video and subtitle
2. Open new output file and add two streams (subtitle and video)
3. Read packets from video and subtitle using av_read_frame() which will
give you AVPacket*
4. Send those packets to av_interleaved_write_frame()
5. Close the file (very important for some containers)
