If you have the .srt file.

Open up the movie in VLC go to 'video' and there should be something like 'subtitle track' and there you have the option to open the srt file.
But vlc might do it automatically when the srt is in the same folder.

I always have to mess with the subs, vlc is practically the only player I use.

It is always easy for me. Just as iaoish says: keep the video file and the subtitle file in the same folder, then open the video with VLC Player. It helps to name the subtitle file the same as the video. For instance: Oldboy.avi and Oldboy.srt

If you do this, the subtitles should load automatically. If you're burning a dvd and, say, you're using convertxtodvd, then having the subtitle file in the same folder as the video will automatically add the subtitles to your dvd, in which case all you'd do is press the subtitle button on your dvd remote to turn them on. Or, you can double click the subtitle drop menu for the movie in convertxtodvd and select "default," which makes the subtitles automatically play on your dvd without needing to press a button.

I never burn myself so much.. There is a program you can place the srt file into the movie. So that they are pressed together.
I used that for the docu I posted in the GOM. I forgot the name though. I can look it up if someone is interested. But I have to go now..

Latest Convertxtodvd with crack:


http://rapidshare.com/files/393815686/VSO.Software.ConvertXtoDVD.4.v4.0.12.327-TE.rar


Unrar it, unzip each file into the same folder (you'll have to do this twice since the uploader decided to zip it twice and then rar it.) Once you get all the files unzipped, read the NFO file (open with notepad or wordpad.) Near the bottom of the NFO file, it should say:

Install vsoConvertXtoDVD4_setup.exe. After installation copy
precracked files into ConvertXtoDVD's installed folder
(C:\Program Files\VSO\ConvertX\4), making sure to overwrite the
existing files. You now have a fully registered version of
ConvertXtoDVD 4!
Just follow these instructions and you're good to go. After that, open convertxtodvd and you can simply drag and drop movie files into the program, click convert and make sure you have a blank dvd in your drive for when it's ready to burn. On a side note: I wouldn't waste a disc burning one movie. You can burn at least two or three on one disc. So, if you want, you could put Park Chanwook's whole vengeance trilogy on a dvd. Also, remember to have the subtitle file for each video in the same folder. If you do this, the subs will automatically be added to your dvd.

Oh, and if your convertxtodvd program tells you there is a new version online, don't upgrade to it. If you do, you'll lose your registration and have to uninstall, reinstall and apply the crack again.

i had a great program which hardcoded the subs to the DVD in sync but I cant remember the name. All you had to do was open the movie in this program, and then run it with the subtitles simultaneously and it would hardcode them. When I get back to my other computer I will post it......

I've learned to do quite a bit over the years. So if anyone has any other video/audio/subtitle questions, just ask.

For instance, I hate when a 1.4gb movie is divided into two 700mb files because when I burn the movie onto a DVD, I don't want it to be split into two parts. It's unnecessary. So I figured out how to put the files back together without any hiccup in the video or audio. Also, if there are two subtitle files--one for each 700mb video file--then you need to combine them into one subtitle file to match your single video file. This isn't as straightforward as it seems. When the audio isn't properly synced, that can be a bitch too. I've spent some hours fixing problems like this.

Good shit, I am not familiar with this program, neither will I use it one reason of it because I am not using Windows.
But shouldn't there be an option for not checking of updates or checking for updates manually at least?

This way you prevent from updating accidentally..

I'm the same way, but some movies just aren't out in HD yet. I have my computer hooked up to a 46" Samsung LED, so the HD rips look pretty good.

Yeah the hd rips look really great. And I figure you won't watch a movie that often. So I leave them on my drive then I can erase them again. Save me money with buying discs but also space in my house.

I never realized people still watch divx movies, lol.
I don't like to watch movies on my computer and I don't have my computer connected to my TV.

I use my PS3 as my DVD player basically. So divx or avi files I prefer.

I always have hundreds of blank DVD's at any given time for a number of reasons, so it's no problem burning a few movies to a disc every now and then.
