avi and sst subtitles

have two avi files that require subtitles but i am unsure how to merge them together. The subtitles are .sst files. Will i then beable to use VSO to DIVX to convert them. Any help will be appreciated

 

I hope the following instructions are helpful.

Put both the movie (.avi) & subtitle (.sst) files in the same location on your computer.

Rename the files so that they have the exact same name except for the extensions. (Example: fAvorIte_MoVie.avi & fAvorIte_MoVie.sst)


[bold]To View the Movie on Your Computer[/bold]

To view the movie on your computer, open the video file in the media player of your choice. Note: VLC does not support .srt files, but will play other subtitle types. As long as both movie and subtitle files are in the same location, and have the same names, the player will automatically add the subtitles to the movie. Also, you can drag & drop both movie and subtitle files onto your media player, to play both.

If the subtitles don't work with your player, you probably need an upgrade. Download and install K-Lite Mega Codec Pack v1.53 available here: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm

Media Player Classic v.6.4.9.0 is a good choice and will use less computer resources than WMP, which is available for download here: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_players/media_player_classic.cfm

Windows Media Player 11 Beta is available for download here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ef-2ed1-43db-881f-c9ff337c2e91&DisplayLang=en


[bold]To Convert and Burn the Movie and Subtitle Files to a DVD[/bold]

Download and install ConvertXtoDVD available here: http://www.vso-software.fr/download.php, or check your favorite bit torrent site.

Open ConvertXtoDVD and add the video file to be converted and burned to DVD. To do this click File > Add video file.

Click the “+” sign next to the video title to expand the tree and you will see a directory named ‘Subtitles’. This directory will list the number of subtitle streams associated with the video file “Subtitle (_ stream)”. To view the subtitle streams, click the “+” sign to expand the tree; they will be listed here.

If no subtitle streams are shown “Subtitle (0 stream)”, ensure the movie and subtitle files have the exact same name, except for the file extensions.
(Example: fAvorIte_MoVie.avi & fAvorIte_MoVie.sst). Then right click “Subtitle (0 stream)” and chose “Add Subtitle Channel”, to manually add the subtitle file.
To change the subtitle options, right click “Subtitle (_ stream)” and chose “subtitle Options…”

To edit the font or other characteristics of the subtitles, right click on the subtitle stream and select “Edit Subtitles” or “Change settings for this subtitle”.

Check the settings to ensure they are correct and click “Convert” in the main window. The video file will be converted and burned.

sst = Sonic Scenarist Subtitle format.

Why assume srt anyway? ssf or ssa are closer to sst, infact ssf is only one key off and both are valid subtitle formats.

 

Thanks for the correction celtic_d I hadn't come across that extension before. I haven't tried .sst files with ConvertXtoDVD, but it should work.
