You may find different languages for these soft subtitles (for example up to 8 different languages in the same AVI !) Those "soft" subtitles are hidden somewhere within the AVI file, but they're not burned in the image. These burned-in subtitles won't appear in VLC subtitle menu and there is no way to hide them Now that they're burned in the image, there is no way to make them disappear properly, as they're totally part of the image. Which can be compared to "hot iron cow branding"
