How To Combine .avi Files With Seperate Sub File (.srt)
 

Hey,

I'm pretty stuck with this problem. I Downloaded The Final Fantasy VII: Avent Child Movie. It Contains a .avi file 699MB and a subtittle file (.srt). My friend wanted a copy of this movie but a dvd version of it. The trouble is, I can't convert the movie and the subtittles together and burn it on a dvd.

I've tried a couple of ways, I tried using:

This Tutorial - When I was in the middle of this step It stopped converting because my hard drive was full. I checked the file and it was 10 gig and only went for 12 minutes, no where near the whole movie.

Another Tutorial - When I got to the page. Roughly the 4th page in.Near the end, when you have to make sure that the dropdown just above the blue bar says DVD-R 4.7GB (UDF). I couldn't get it lower then 5 gig, therefore it wouldnt let me go any further in converting.

ConvertXToDVD - It burnt the movie but the sub tittles werent their.

Avi2Dvd - There is no audiostream to choose from with my Avent Child Movie according to Avi2Dvd when I load the movie. So I couldnt convert it with that either.

I've tried many things and I'm stuck. I want to combine the Subtittle file with the .avi file, So I can use WinAvi converter but Ill be happy anyway to get Avent Child With Subtittles burnt on dvd. If anyone can help me out in any way, It'll be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Not sure if this is the best way to do it, but this is what I did...just make sure your .srt file is in the same directory as your .avi file and has the exact name. If you have vobsub installed, just convert to mpg2 with winavi converter and the subs will be embedded on the file. Then I used Nero 7 to burn to dvd. Hope this helps.

You can use BSplayer and load up the .srt file manually during movie playback. That should do the trick.

Will bsplayer let you burn the movie to a disc like winamp?

Here is a little guide on how to add subtitles...

After that you should be alright.

Your SVCD and DVD supports subtitles(meaning turn them off and on), but most programs(to burn/compile the CD/DVD) to make them do not support the srt format, you can change to format of them with a guide, let me find it, there might be one on videohelp.com,

Hey man, Worked like a charm. Thanks, I owe ya one. I think it was the part near the end "In TMPGEnc first close the wizard, choose file->new project, open the video, choose File->Output to file->AVI File. Select a video compression like DivX or XviD and choose an audio compression like MP3 and hit save."

In the other tutorials, it didnt mention to select a video comperssion like DivX or Xvid and choose an audio compression like MP3 and hit save. So usualy I left it blank. Now, my movie is 600 MB, instead of the 20 gig I was getting before.

but most programs(to burn/compile the CD/DVD) to make them do not support the srt format. That's probably another reason why I had abit of trouble aswel. Thanks for the heads up aku.

Thanks for all ya help,
