Subtitle Integration

Dear Readers,

I was wondering... Is there a program out there that can.. Ehh what is the word... Combine a Movie/Show(.avi) with let's say subtitles(.srt/.ssa/.etc) together so it becomes 'hardsub' rather than 'softsub' where you need the files together(But seperate files) to have them played... Cause I get annoyed for some odd reason when I open my folder of Subtitles shows and see all these extra files(>srt/.ssa) so I was just curious if there happens to be a program that is easy to use that can combine the two files and make them into one.

THanks.

WinAvi 7.6

Mke sure that they are in the same folder.

Also make sure the movie and the SRT file
are named the same.

It does it automatacally

AVI + SRT No Not to AVI file with the Subtitles integrated

But You can convert it to VCD/SVCD/DVD
With subtitles integrated

Awww... I wasn't really planning to burn them into those formats.. Well nevermind, cuase I want to burn the series onto a DVD without having the seperate .srt/.ssa files... Unless I can use that program to burn all the episodes with the subtitles and then they show up as one avi file.. Do you know what i mean? Lol sorry that I didn't make myself too specific in my needs. Thanks for the help though.

Your welcome :)

VirtualDubMod

Thank you very much.

well mate there's an easy way. i use to bother with that one too but synch problems and other program compatibility is too much of work inorder to just view an hour or 2 movies and worst is i usually end up editing/comparing/adjusting etc.. etc. subtitles longer than watching the movie itself. So I end up downloading a Video program that is very good at detecting subtitles whether it's a.SRT or .sub, .idx. I used BSPLAYER PRO and be sure that the subtitles is in the same folder with the movie you are going to view itself, and viola instant movie viewing with multiple subtitles to choose from. no need hardcoding it, trust me too much work unless it's a masterpiece movie for you. maybe worth the effort; but to think if that is a masterpiece movie for me. I'd rather buy a DVD from a store and enjoy better quality. just my two cents ^_^

Agree with Sudden, VirtualDubMod will do the job nicely.

and if you ever got a synching problem, which you would encounter sooner or later, you could try, Subtitle workshop. it is very user friendly, light and also a freeware.

In order to use V Dub Mod for subtitles you will also need VobSub (free too), after installing it you open V Dub and then Video and then Filters then Add and finally load and go to the VobSub folder and load both the txtsub.vdf (srt) and Vobsub.vdf (sub). From that point on you will be able to select either one from the filters menu and add your subtitles. You can only use the filters option if you are reconverting the avi so it takes some time but if the avi has VBR audio you can use this opportunity to change the audio to CBR as well (more compatible to dvd conversion but can cause sync problems so you can ignore the vbr warnings if you don't plan on converting to dvd).
