    I looked at all the threads on this subject, but they don't seem to address my problem.
    Okay I have this dvd I'm trying to burn but the subtitles are not in sync. I followed the direction http://subtitlecreator.sourceforge.n...itles2aDVD.htm on this web site and used the software listed to create the dvd but when I test it the subtitles are out of sync ...I tried to sync the subtitle in subtitle workshop and the create subtitle programs ... I can get them in sync in the program, but when I test the movie before burning the subtitle is out of sync ...what can I do to correct this? Is there a way to correct it once it is on the dvd? This is my first encounter with something like this so it's all new to me. What am I doing wrong? I don't get it? Thank you for reading my post. :)

    Your link doesn't work.

    Is this an AVI and a srt file that you opened in SubTitle Workshop?

    here it is again ... it works now ...

    No it was a mpeg2 and a sup ... I started out with srt, but converted to sup.

    I when back and converted the original file which was a meta file ... converted it to mpeg2 ... but I converted that file again to a AVI file ... now that the link works you can see the programs I used.

    I don't know about meta files...and you cannot load a .sup file into S.W. - but an avi file loaded into Subtitle Workshop along with the .srt file should be able to be synced (then the new .srt file saved).

    I have no problem syncing the sub in SW ... it's when I get to burning the dvd is when the subtitles go out of sync. I've tried just about every sync program I can find and nothing works ..

    If the AVI and .srt file plays in sync on the PC it should still be synced when converted to DVD - unless the AVI and subs drift out of sync gradually..

    I haven't had problems using FAVC to convert AVI and .srt to DVD.

    I never thought to put the sub in the avi file then convert to dvd ... I was going by the instructions I showed ... I'll give that a try and see what happens ...thank you.

    Well ... it didn't work ... I put the subtitles in with the AVI file and checked it on WMP and they were there ... but when I converted the file to dvd format ... no subtitles ... it was a good thought though ...

    Did you manually try to load the subtitles in ConvertxtoDVD when you set up the conversion? Did it show "i title" under subtitles?

    I read it too fast,I thought you said ConvertxtoDVD...Now I see you used a freeware, didn't know the program.
    Does it even support subtitles?

    no it doesn't .... right now I'm trying avi2dvd ... it supports subtitles, I tried it last night and it ran over 12 hours before I simply stopped it ... so I am trying it again ... it's showing it has 45 minutes left so I will let the forum know if it worked ...

    Almost 24 hours later ... I learned the avi2dvd is a complete and total waste of time ... on to something else ... free of course ... can't afford to buy anything.

    If the subtitle are srt, try DVD flick or FAVC as attar suggested.

    Yes it can;if the subs and video have the same name and are in the same directory, will probably automatically pick them up:

    I tried DVD flick last night and it did the same thing AVI2DVD ... it took over 12 hours ... and didn't get much accomplished ... flick stalled out while encoding the audio ... I'll try the above mention program and see if it does the same.

    I would say omething must be wrong with your AVI.I would run it through Avimux Gui, or DivFix++
