Default TVersity to 360 - subtitles help!

I use TVersity to as my media server for streaming to my 360. Everything works great except for subtitle encoding. Even if I have the .srt file for what I want to watch, the subtitles don't get encoded. I've messed around with transcoding settings in TVersity and ffdshow, but I can't seem to find a combination or setting to make it work. Does anyone here have this working for them?

Is it an avi file? If so, can the 360 play .divx files?

I have a PS3, so I'm not sure about the 360. But to get this to work on the ps3, I put the subtitles and the avi into a .divx container. Since a divx container can contain both, you don't need to re-encode the video and it only takes about 3-4 minutes. From there, the PS3 will recognize the subtitles as a subtitle track and you can switch them on and off as usual.

You'll need some software to do this. There are a few different options out there. Some googling should help you find one that suits your needs.

Most of the files I have are .mkv and .mp4, but some are .avi. TVersity should be able to transcode .divx, so I will check into this option. Thanks!
