Thanks Alvin for the tip. I could try to fool around with something like a srt editor to see if I can figure out how to do it. Can you refer me to an srt editor that is free to download and use.
I guess a srt editor removes text from the subs but do they indicate who is speaking those lines so I would know if it is the translation that I need and not from the English dialogue that I would have to remove.
This all very new to me so I am sorry for all the Qs.

@Irv
Well, that’s not quite possible for you to do that with just a few simple steps or so. If you really want to do that, you will have to delete all the parts in your srt file that you do not want them to be shown using any srt editor.

I am trying to add the English subtitles to a mpeg4 movie that is being converted to avi but I only want subs for the foreign language audio not when the actors are speaking English. With the converter I am using Xilisoft Ultimate 5 it only allows me to add a complete subtitle srt file not just parts of it.

@Rowbearto
WinAVI might be able to help you out. It is a software which you can convert AVI into DVD format (together with the subtitle). So, all you have to do is to convert your video before burning it into your dvd.

@zaland
You might have installed a suspicious plugin which does the voice reading. Try to find the particular plugin you have installed and uninstalled it.

@Griff
First of all, avi doesn’t need to “combine” with the srt. All you have to do is to install a plugin called VobSub for your players so that they are able to read the subtitle while playing videos for you. Be sure to rename both the avi and srt files into a same name and put them together in a same folder or directory.
*Playing movies with subtitles has nothing to do with Zipping/Unzipping or HJSplit.

Thank you for visiting!

Hi:
I think my question is new; if not, I apologize.
I have a video that is split into parts (.001, .002, .003, etc.) and I also have an .srt file with the same name, supposedly the English subtitles. I want to put all the pieces together, ending up with an .avi file with the subtitles embedded. I tried to use the HJSplit’s standard joining procedure to merge the .00X files and the .srt file. Not happening. I get an .avi file that plays perfectly, but no subtitles.
Here’s my question(s): Is it possible to do what I want with HJSplit using different steps?
If not, I will join the .00X parts with HJSplit and follow the above instructions to join the movie and the subtitles. Will I be able to copy the resulting file to DVD and play on a VCR?
Many thanks for you attention
Griff

Hi
I’ve downloaded the subtitles (srt), but together with them there is also the horrible voice reading them. How to remove this voice?
