    I cannot remember how far back it was that someone asked about adding captions or subtitles to a home-made MPG video, but that is basically what I want to do now. I have the MPG file in question and a list of captions to add, but I would like to know what software I should be using and all that stuff. Any pointers?

    Avisynth with vsfilter or virtualdubmpeg2 with vsfilter if you want permanent subtitles in the mpg. Or do you want closed captions?

    Best way is to author as a DVD and add subtitles as a separate, selectable, item.

    That will play on either a stand alone player or most media players on a PC.

    Create and sync the subtitles in an editor like Subtitle Workshop.

    Authoring apps like GuiforDVDAuthor can use SRT text subtitles.
