Newbie: Multiple avi's with srt to dvd

[trash]

I wanted to ask since I am trying to burn 3 avi with 3 srts onto 1dvd. Should I be joining the 3avi into 1 avi, 3srt to 1 srt. Then extract video and audio separately to dvd compliant format. Or should I leave the avis and srt alone. Edit each episode alone to make sure that each episodes' video and audio are dvd compliant. Then I should use a dvd software that would let me set menus and burn 3 episodes onto 1dvd with subtitle.
I guess my question would be should I hardsub each episode and join them in the beginning and convert to dvd compliant format. Or should I softsub in the end using a good dvd software. Which one would be less problematic? Worried about out of syn sound, delayed sub etc.
If I need to join the srt with which program?


Thanks for your help

If it's one single movie I'd use AVI2DVD, as I just wrote a guide that explains how to do soft-switchable DVD subtitles with it.

However, you have episode stuff there... Hmmm... Not sure if AVI2DVD will be the best choice for you, unless you concat them first then set chapter points as the 3 separate episodes... Hmmm... Any one else have other suggestions?

IF anyone can tell me how they burn dvds with multiple episodes of avis with srt.

I searched the forum found one way but it does not have subtitles
AVI to DVD MPEG(CCE or MPGen Encoder)

The other one I found but once again no subtitles

Thanks in advance. I am a newbie so nothing too difficult, steps or links would be appreciated. Thanks you for your patience

2nd guide does not cover subtitles because that is job of authoring step
