I have NeroVision, but with it I can't add subtitles to DVD. I need something similar to ConvertXtoDVD, but freeware. Any suggestions?

I've a suggestion, but it's completely off track.

Can you lower your pants and bend over.

*sigh*

all software is freeware

Try pirating DVD Architect its like NV but better.

What kind of subtitles do you want to add to your DVD? Is it like adding an SRT-Textfile as a VobSub?

But that's... illegal!



DVD Architect doesn't like my laptop, says that requirements are not met

.srt/.sub files

I have no idea mate. I haven't done this yet.

You could take a look at these:

I've been using TMPEGEnc and TMPEGEnc DVD Author for all my DVD authoring tasks. TMPEGEnc DVD Author can import SRT files:

Thanks for the suggestions. In the meantime, I managed to do it in two steps - hardocoded the subs with AviDemux (I'm really starting to like this proggy) and then burned it to DVD with NeroVision. Looks rather good for such a transfer, especially on a 5 year old 29" CRT Panasonic

My wife's grandmother wants to watch some old classics but no way that she can cope with 3 xvids on one DVD-R and separate subs.

So I have to try this. Thanks.

I sometimes use DeVeDe on my *nix box.

it looks good! how about the subtitles? Does it handle idx/sub, srt and/or ASS/SAA ?
Does it have some basic authoring options? Something that lets you do a simple static screen menu?

I've also seen this one for windows, but I haven't tried it yet: http://avstodvd.googlepages.com/home

I usually do AVI to DVD conversions manually, but a good 1-click tool would be nice.

Yes..
and
Yes..

will post a screenie of the options..

Great! That's what I was looking for.

No problem

It's pretty straightforward, but if you need any help, just ask

Nice, and it is for Linux.
