If you just want to play the divx file with your .srt use this method:
Just open your movie you want to watch with VLC player.. When the movie file play do:
{Video >> Subtitle track >> Track1 [Spoor1 in Dutch] and voila the subs will appear in a sec or 2.

MAKE SURE THE MOVIE FILENAME AND THE SRT MATCH AND HAS TO BE IN THE SAME FOLDER ELSE IT WONT WORK!


Now lets start with the little tutorial on howto add subs to divx permanently [hardcoded]

Step1:

Now we only have to select the type of video codec were using for the output video. Click on Video >> Compression >> and select the codec you prefer.. I recommend divx codec if you have that installed 27.gif http://www.i-imagehost.com/uploads/c4f6a83613.jpg

Thank_You, Thank-You, Thank-You, Thank-You,
Oh so much for the great tutorial on adding subs.
I have been trying to do this in a simple way for a long time, and spent the whole night last night just trying out the method. It worked like a charm for the movie Firewall. I was able to find the matching subtitle and it was great. My father lost his hearing about 5 years ago and this will work perfect for him. Now he can enjoy all those movies that have no cc. or subtitles.

I have a question, I noticed the subs are permenent tot he movie, is that correct? There is no way to choose to see them on the TV or not. Or maybe I missed some way to make them optional. If there is can you help me with this? Again thanks bunches. Great Job... applaud.gif applaud.gif applaud.gif applaud.gif

Youre welcome mate. Im glad it worked out for you smile.gif
About the subs, they are hardcoded that means it is added permantly on the movie file so you can't choose as optional on your dvd player nor on the computer. Do do that you will need a 'professional' dvd authorizing tool such as Sony Vegas+DVD / Architect or Ulead DVDmovie Factory+. I also found top ten reviews on DVD Authoring tools, you may want to check out the link:
