how to make subtitles appear from DVD rip copies?

i need help! i'm having trouble making the subtitle appear on my screen, does anybody know how?

i downloaded a movie that is DVD-ripped having AVI as its filename extension and it included a .srt file, the file is like : movie.2004.DVDRip.XviD.AC3.2CH.GRE-JJH.srt

i heard that the file with srt extension is used to produce or goes along with the video file to make the subtitles appear; but i don't know what to do... & how to make it appear.

please help me solve this problem... very Urgent!

and if ever this problem will be solved... i also need help in converting it to an mpeg video file format with the subtitles visible. hope you guys can help me on this too.

what player are you using, Windows media player? VLC?

in WMP goto Play > Captions and Subtitles > On if available.
VLC Open File and check (i think) subtitles, and you can point to the actual file.

i use windows media player. and yes, i just did what you mentioned above but it didn't worked.

another problem is i want to burn it on a vcd... how do i make the subtitles appear on TV when played on a vcd player? or how to convert them to mpeg with the subtitles?

You should try using The core media player. I used it with avi files that included the srt and it works fine. It will automatically detect the file for the subs and play the vid with them.

Sorry but I don't know about making vcds with the subs from vid+the srt file.
