SRT subtitles to work together

How do I get .AVI movies and .SRT subtitles to work together?

Try Direct VobSub. It came as part of the AutoGK installation I use to make DVD to XviD rips and it works fine for me. Not too sure why you're using real player though. Try Media Player Classic with RealAlternative! ;-)

File > Open File

Then check "Subtitle options" click "Settings" and browse to the SRT file.

thanks media player classic with real alternative, picked up the subs on their own.

I second the VLC suggestion. Standalone app, also eliminates the need for downloading codecs

DirectVobSub works well, but the image quality isn't quite as good as using Media Player Classic's built-in subtitle renderer.

That said, MPC doesn't allow you to specify a delay on the subs in case they're off, while DirectVobSub does...
