    I just downloaded a video in avi format which includes eng subs. When i first played it i was disapointed since it had no subs, but after installing vobsub they were finally visible. the problem is: i would like to burn this into a DVD WITH the subtitles but there is no subtitle file!

    Does anyone know how to make this work?

    hi

    did vobsub read the avi and show the subs?

    but have you tried encoding to dvd structure? it may change over and be seen? i havent personally done this

    Exactly. Vobsub read the avi file and subs appeared.

    I use DVDMaestro burn my DVDs and before using it i must convert the vid to .mpv and when i do this subs are gone... If there is any other way to do it that might work please tell me :p

    I only use 2 programs when converting 2 avs and subs to dvd. Heres what i do and it works every time!
    Before using these programs i had sync probs with audio and subs but no more probs now!

    Install a program called VobSub as this will force the subtitles.
    Install Canopus Procoder 2.This prog supports all files!!!!!
    Make sure when you unpack the download that you have the 2 avis and the subs files in exactly the same folder.
    There is no need to join these either as Canopus will do this for you.
    Start Canopus Procoder and put a tick in the stitch box as this will join the files together,
    then choose a target which will be dvd PAL or whatever you wish to do then click convert and choose a path for output
    if you don't choose a path then the default path is my documents. Then hit convert! watch the first 5 mins you should
    see the subtitles being tranconded with the movie, if so then unclick preview as this will slow down convertion.
    Its as Simple as that.
