any help would be great

I know that if you use VLan , you can add the .sub file and watch the movie with subtitles. As far as permanatly adding it to the AVI, or merging it into it or whatever, I haven't found out how to do that. Point being, I don't know how you add it to a burn or add it to the files when converting it toa VOB that can be burned and then watched on a standard dvd player. You may be able to do that using WinAVI video converter. Just add the file. Good luck. JGGG
Actually - I found an app that can do it permanately<sp?>
It's calle dTheFilmMachine. I DLed The Motorcycle diaries and the sub, used TheFilmMachine and converted it over into DVD/VOB format and burned it, Voila.
Hello sof2, just saw your thread, I have had the same problem, adding English subs into a foreign movie AVI. In the end I managed it perfectly using Virtual Dub.
You can also encode a movie adding permenent subtitles. This is what that VideoHelp guide (and mine, just PM me your address and I'll e-mail it to you) does.
