    Please help,

    I want to know if it is possible to add subtitles to a movie that is
    already burned on a DVD. Please tell me a program with which I can burn my subtitles afterward. THANKS 4 THE HELP!

    You can rip the DVD to the hard drive, add subtitles, then burn a new DVD.

    I don't know of any 'one click' tool which does this - but it can be done using free tools.
    The whole process looks scary, but it's all simple steps.

    If the DVD is a commercial movie DVD, then either the ripped files have to be shrinked to fit a standard DVD then burned (or the you can burn the files to a DL disk).

    If you don't mind losing the menu from your movie, then the steps are relatively simple.

    If you have a menu, extras, trailers, that you want to keep on the new disk - there are more steps to be taken.

    In general, the steps are:
    Rip the existing DVD.
    Decide which features you wish to keep and shrink the files.

    Convert your new subtitles to a format that allows them to be added to the new disk (typically converting .srt to .sup).

    If you do not require a menu or any extras like trailers, do this:
    Demux the ripped files to separate video, audio, subtitles.
    Mux the the new compilation using the video, audio and all the required subtitles.
    Burn the disk.

    There is a tutorial at this link which covers two methods of adding subtitles to an existing movie.
    Sadly, I have never been able to make the 'Wizard' method work.I had to use the manual method.
