Embed Subtitles in AVI files (for viewing in TV / DVD)

Well, most of the new TV’s and DVD’s players have the capability of playing an AVI / DIVX file through a disk or a usb drive.

Although, they are capable fo displaying the subtitles, BUT ONLY IF THE SUBTITLES ARE EMBEDDED IN THE MOVIE.

** I know there are a lot of tools and blogs about how to do this, well … This tool is the fastest of ’em all. 🙂

STEP 1 – Find the Subtitles for your movie

There are a lot of online sources to get the subtitles, I would personally recommend Subscene. Search for the appropriate subtitle and download.

Tip: Before jumping further, Do give the subtitle a test run to make sure that it’s in sync with the Movie.

Step 2 – Download AVIAddXSubs

Step 3 – Configuration

Well, this step can be omitted if you are in real hurry, but I would recommend to change the font settings before mixing the subtitle and video, since the original font is very big and unpleasant to the eyes. 😉

Step 4 – Mixing

  • Open AVIAddXSubs
  • Save the Movie and the Subtitle file with the same name in a folder
    Eg;
    Sample.avi
    Sample.srt
  • Select the movie file and the output folder (leave blank if you need the output in same directory)

Hit START !!

It usually takes 8-10 minutes for a typical 700MB avi file !

Enjoy…
