Well, regardless, .avi can only contain video and audio, not text. So an .avi can't ever be softsubbed by itself.
Hence "Generally Speaking" Wink I'd guess it's as likely that an .mkv is hard-subbed, as that an .avi that comes with subtitle files instead of encoded subs. For one, it saves a step for the subbers if they're working off raws, as it means a simple mux rather than a re-encode.

A hardsubbed mvk lacks the ability to switch the subs off. Let's not over-complicate things.

Japanese-dubbed South Park! Somehow, I'm not surprised.

They speak so fast it sounds more like machine gun fire than Japanese.

Personally I'm looking forward to finding startrek in Japanese. I'll need to pay a visit to Tsutaya I think.
