Hi, Both mplayer and xine support vobsub. They can display subtitles while playing back a dvd, so it should work for avi/mkv/ogm as well. the subtitle files need to have the same name as the video file, e.g. video.avi video.idx video.sub, then mplayer/xine can auto detect them. In mplayer you can press 'j' to select subtitles. rar-archives including the sub file won't work, as mplayer/xine has no on-the-fly-decompressing implemented (yet).
