Burning with Subtitles

Hi,
I have a video file that needs to be burned with subtitles and I was wondering if anyone knows how to do that with Nero 8 or if you can't with Nero 8 then how to do it at all. I have an avi video file with 3 others: srt, sub, and idx.
If you need any clarification please ask. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

How do you want it burned? As data to play back on a PC? Or as DVD files to play back on a standalone DVD player?

 

I want to burn it so I can view it on a DVD player.

 

Actually, either will do; however, I would prefer to burn it so I can use a DVD player to view it. Thanks!

 

Sorry, I didn't get back to you, I usually watch subbed movies on my PC and was hoping someone with experience would give you the best option.

Videohelp.com and Doom9 are great sites for guide to anything to do with converting.

I looked at Nero 8 and didn't see an option for including the subtitles during conversion. It may be possible but I've had such terrible luck with Nero's converting program Nero Vision that I wouldn't recommend using it even if you can find a guide.

I've never had to convert an avi with subs to DVD but I think DVDFlick will do it (a slow process about 3-4 hours--just a heads up). Guide: http://beginwithsoftware.com/videoguides/d...lick-guide.html

You would just use the .srt the (.sub with .idx) are just a second format of the same subtitles for use with VobSub.

I guess you know a player like VLC can play the video with subs on your PC without the conversion or writing to disk. If it is a one time watch might be the simplest solution.

As stated above by sach2, DVDflick will incorporate subtitles. After importing the AVI file, click on "edit title" over on the right side of the DVDflick window (it might be named "edit project" - it's not at the top, it's on the right side). There will be several tabs, one of which is "subtitles"; point it to your .srt or .sub file, and it will take care of it. DVDflick is great for freeware; I used it for over a year until I broke down and paid for other converting software (ConvertXtoDVD and WinAVI; WinAVI is the fastest converter I have found! that's why I bought it; WinAVI does not wrangle subtitles). Depending on your PC hardware specs, DVDflick may take some time. On my PC (AMD64X2 2.8ghz; 3gb DDR2), it took 75-90min from AVI to finished DVD with burn speed set at 4x. Less than 2gb of memory and under 2ghz CPU may take 2-3 times that long....

(DVDFlick guide in PDF format - http://www.dvdflick.net/guide.php It's fairly basic; I'm not sure if it covers subs or not)

 

(I tried to add this to my post above - I waited too long )

The guide linked to above DOES include info on subtitles...

(upon reviewing the guide, I see that DVDflick has added burn speed; it used to be that burn speed had to be adjusted separately in ImgBurn :clap )
