    I was just wondering if theres a program or a way to put subtitles on on Movie that I downloaded. The movie is in AVI Format. I have subtitles for it on Notepad, but I don't know how to add them on to the movie.

    You want hard encoded subs or you just want to add them to the avi? AVIMuxGUI can mux subs, but it really doesn't have any advantage over external subs, well other than you only have one file, but for that you loose compatibility.

    Watching them while you play the movie is easy: either on WMP you have the file named 'movie.srt' while you play movie.avi or use BSPlayer and load the subtitle. Alas, I don't know how to add them if you read on DivX movie from a DVD player capable to do so.

    If you convert the AVI into a DVD movie, you can put a selectable substle in a DVD, using Subtitle Creator (SRT -> SUP) + IFOEdit/ReJig (author M2V+audio+SUP--> DVD).

    A 'hard way' if to permanently encode the subtitle in an AVI movie. It is 'hard' becausse you need to re-encode the movie (spending many hours). After doing that, the movie can be left in AVI format (once you have a good codec to be chosen in the Video___Video Compression screen) on in any mpeg format you want, once you frameserve VirtualDub's output to your favorite encoder.
    You just must have the subtitle in SRT (Subrip) format (you have thousands of applications able to convert the .XYZ into .SRT format, if the subtitle isn't in .SRT format) then in SSA (Substation Alpha) format using the free applicaion SRTtoSSA.
    Then you load the AVI file with VirtualDub, load the 'Subtitler' plugin and load the SSA file. After doing that, provided you have chosed your compression method, Save as AVI (F7) [or start the framesere, if you'll encode it into aything else].
