For a 2 cd merge append the avi segment beforehand, remember to check if the stream length for the file is correct by comparing it to the actual length sans compression. Using the subtitle file, disable verify process after completion or you will spend hours encoding the interleave. Also remember to disable the rgb redux format as vobsub is notoriously bad (still in beta, I've heard) with the redux, this shouldn't affect the overall quality of your picture.
Can anyone explain to me in layman terms how to add subtitles to an AVI movie before I burn it to DVD? Got this thing called vobsub but not very clear how to use it.

Try this instead:
Depending on how your system is configured, you might have to download and install/extract Virtualdubmod (roughly 70% of all machines). It probably makes sense to do it anyway, since there's a good chance you'll need it.
Then create your own text subtitles with SubtitleWorkshop or Substation Alpha and then add them to the video. When you're prompted to install VobSub be sure to select VobSub for Virtualdub and TextSub for Virtualdub and AviSynth.
In Virtualdubmod open the srt, sub(text), smi, ssa subtitle, using the AviSynth wizard. The rest should be fairly self-explanatory. If you get an error message, use latest VSFilter instead. Install it and then copy the VSFilter.dll to the plugins folder under the Virtualdubmod folder and rename it to VSFilter.vdf. Like c:\program files\virtualdubmod\plugins\VSFilter.vdf From there, you'll be prompted to identify the video codec with Gspot or avicodec. Download and install that codec, usually DivX Codec or XviD Codec or try ffdshow. Either way, the Substation Alpha command keys should walk you through the remainder of the process.

Use the step forward function on the video. Whenever you wish a subtitle to appear hit printscreen, open Paint, use the text tool to add the subtitle and then save as a .gif (not .jpg or you'll get tearing and that's bad). Once you finish the movie like so you'll have a lot of .gif files. Now I suggest you print them, one to a page and then flip through them really fast. Your very own PORTABLE video with subtitles. Works in any region too.

Originally posted by heldenIf you are using version 2.23 of vobsub then you will get a #wrap error if you are using updated codecs for xvid. Unfortunately, these codecs are updated automatically so you have to rollback to solve the problem. Go to start, click run, type regedt32 and hit enter. Now in HKEY local machine you need to locate your local ipsec software policies and check your ipsec local negotiation policies that start with 72. Make sure that all of these policies have when changed 43560bdd as the string value. If any of these is different from 43560bdd let me know and we'll take it from there. Close the reg editor. Now you need to be connected to the internet, download an installation package for the codecs for xvid 0.9.3 build 24 April 2005. Now disconnect from the internet and uninstall your previous codec, install the 0.9.3 build and restart your computer. It is very important that you are disconnected or your codec will update automatically and vobsub will not align the discs. After that it's pretty self explanatory.
i managed to get the first half of the film with subtitles and as it is a double Cd, how do I get the other with subtitles as well, got both sets of subtitles for each CD bit it will not work.
