You probably cannot, excluding hardsubbing way. AVI may contain subtitles
in some strange way, but it is similar to "with sufficient thrust, pigs 
fly just fine.
However, this is not necessarily a good idea." RFC1925.3
If you are talking about new DivX container, AFAIK it is not supported 
as output.

You can shift timecode with tons of utils, without mencoder. And then do 
any of
you like, hardsub or muxing in OGM/MKV.
