i have tryed once by using winavi and burning using nero vision express but i have no audio

i wish to burn the dvd from the .avi file with my subtitle file so i can watch the dvd with subtitles on

Hi there,

I'm a huge fan of VSO DivXtoDVD and I suggest it to everyone.

DivXtoDVD v2.00 (v1.99.11 Release Candidate) has been released this week.

Give it a try !
