You can use one of -dump*sub options. Does the conversion for you.

Usually even mplayer nameofavi.avi, as it loads automagically any sub
files that have the movie name in it. (Unless you specify -noautosub in
command line or config file)
And if you really, really need to burn subtitles in the movie then
recode it with -vf expand (and -ovf something else then copy).
