Most DVD/MPEG-4 players support and can play external subs for AVIs in a variety of formats, SRT being the most common. If your player manual doesn't tell you which it supports, maybe check the DVD player database at this site.

To "burn" or "embed" your subtitles into the AVI requires reencoding (recompressing), something you'll want to avoid if possible.
