    Hi all, I have a .avi file about 699MBs and 90 minutes long, I also have two blank VCDs (700MB/80Mins) and the subtitle file. Howerever, the movie is 90mins long so I'll have to split it. So here are my questions:
    1) How can I split the .avi in 2 files without losing its quality
    2) How can I burn the two VCDs WITH the subtitle file on them
    3) And what programs should I use
    4) Can I turn the subtitles on/off or that's just an option for DVD?

    Thanks in advance!

    do a google search and you will find the file splitters you will need, and you won't lose quailty vcd quailty is about as low quailty as you can get, and you can add the subtitles on the vcd's, as to what programs to use, what programs do you have? and were did you get two blank vcd's? i think they quit selling them ten years ago, ha ha, and as far as subtitles i don't think you have that option on vcd's need some info on the programs as far as burning programs, ok? hope this helps

    If your DVD player is capable to play DivX, once you'll burn:
    1) movie.avi [700 MBs] and
    2) movie.srt [few KBs] (the SubRip subtitle, having the same name)
    in a data CD-R, you'll be able to view the subtitle (the 'subtitle encoding' is automatically made by 99% of the DVD/DivX players, once the movie and the sub have the same name).

    If not, load the AVI with VirtualDub, load the subtitle with the Subtitler filter and frameserve (File___Start Frameserver --->save to Movie_subbed.vdr) it to an AVI -> DVD encoder.

    The only thing you'll have to to is to chenge the SRT subtitle to SSA (SubStaton Alpha) format. I use SSA Converter using these options:
    - movie font: Arial 28 Bold
    - all colors: white
    - distance from bottom order: 20 pixels L/R, 30 pixels down.

    Of course, you need to have the VirtualDub fremeserver installed (double click AuxSetup.exe) , to have the subtitler filter [bold](Subtitler.vdf)[/bold] in VirtualDub \plugins directory and to have the subtitle in Subrip form and synchronized with the video.

    It isn't an easy stuff to do. Better buying a DVD/DivX player.
    Mure, a CD-R is cheaper than a DVD-R, you'll save a little money every movie you make.
