Hello,

I have a film (in .avi format) on my hard drive, and in the same folder, I also have a set of subtitles for that movie (in .srt format).
I have renamed the subtitle file to exactly the same name as the film (except for the file extension, of course), so all the media players I have (WMP, VLC, DivX) therefore display the subtitles when I play the film.

However, now I would like to burn that flm on a DVD, and I would like it to play with the subtitles displayed.
I use Nero 10 as my main burning program, but that does not seem to burn the subtitles automatically along with the film (I use Nero Vision to burn films).

I also have Windows DVD maker (I use Windows 7 Ultimate), Camtasia Studio 7 and DivX Player to burn films, but I am not sure any of them burn the subtitles along with the film, and I would rather not run into surprises using a blank DVD foe burning the film, only to see it plays without displaying subtitles.

Can anyone advise me on what I need to do to burn a film to a DVD so that it plays with the subtitles displayed by default?

All help will be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

I like the software ConvertXtoDVD. Makes burning video files easy. I have not burned subtitles but here is a youtube link that shows how to do it -

If you don't want to use this software maybe you can find a similar method with the software you are already using.

To add to that, I suggest you make an image first before burning the DVD. This will tell you about any problems you will face without wasting a DVD. In fact, I create an image before burning the DVD quite often. I find that if I directly burn it to DVD, one small problem like a corrupt 1kb file that hardly matters might end cost me one DVD.
