    I am trying to learn how to softsub a video, author those subs to the video, and finally burn that subbed video to a DVD. The video is in a foreign language, and I've searched everywhere for a purchaseable version with English subtitles...however I had no luck. So instead a friend of mine had a HD backup copy with just the Chinese subtitles. I was able to find sites that hosted the videos with subtitles online, so I was able to make the subs using Subtitle Workshop. However, since I know nothing besides how to make the subtitles on Subtitle Workshop, I don't know what steps will next be necessary to put these in DVD format. This is some of the info regarding the video below.

    Based off of all the information regarding this video, what all will I need to do to softsub the video onto a DVD? What programs should I use for each of these steps?Any feedback would be great since I am fairly new to all of this...

  2. AvsToDVD can do it all. If you want a fancy menu then it may get a bit more complex.

    It seems to be available with subs:

    This is just another BS story from someone who wants help with warez. You don't own the DVD, which makes your copy warez. Asking for help with warez is against the forum rules.
