SubRip is one of the most popular text-based subtitle formats. Since most subtitles are still ripped from DVDs they must be created by OCR.
The .SRT files are used by various video playback programs and are supported by DivX, DVD and other formats.
The .SRT is the most basic subtitle format. It consists of four parts, all in text.
FIRST is a number that indicates which subtitle is in the sequence. SECOND is the time that the subtitle should appear and then disappear. THIRD is the subtitle itself. FOURTH is a blank line indicating the start of a new subtitle.
The following is an example of the text structure/format:
1 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,400 Hello
2 00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:58,200 Goodbye
In the above example, two subtitles will be generated. The first (number 1) will be displayed in your movie at 45 seconds for around 5 seconds. The second subtitle will be displayed at 50seconds for around 8 seconds.

The time format used is hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds, with the milliseconds field precise to three decimal places.

For viewing subtitle, Play the avi file using VLC media player, select load subtitle from video > subtitle menu. Select the downloaded srt file or any other format subtitle file

When converting an .avi file to dvd ready for film to be played on a stand alone DVD player, how do I add the subs folder so that when I've converted the movie the subs come up on the finished film?

I downloaded a torrent file and there is a folder which contains an .avi file and .srt subtitles file - the name of these files are the same.
How do I play the .avi with this subtitle file?
