I understand this... but I need to do it because my player does not
support subtitles...

I'm using the same bitrate of the original avi (obtained by a script).
The picture looks very very well, with the ONLY exception of the FIRST
subtitle that appears on the screen. Sometimes I adds a dot (".") in
the very start of the picture to trigger the problem at the beginning.
Then some seconds later starts the real subtitles and this looks OK.

Now I'm not at home, where is the script that I use. In a few hours I
will send tha exact mencoder command lines that I am using.
