I think it's not possible to add the srt file into the avi container. You'll 
have to recode the video.

Ok, this is a command I used recently:

mencoder -noodml -o new_video.avi \
  -oac copy \
  -ovc xvid \
  -xvidencopts bitrate=970:max_bframes=2 \
  -vf-add harddup \
  -force-avi-aspect 16:9 \
  -sub subtitles_file.srt -subpos 98 -subwidth 80 -subcp latin1 -ffactor 1 \
  -font /home/ricardo/.fonts/arialbd.ttf -subfont-autoscale 1 \ 
  -subfont-text-scale 6 -subfont-blur 0  \
  orig_video.avi
