    If your player can't handle external .srt subtitles (just put movie.avi + movie.srt on the same disk, and your player should pick them up) there's no other way than to hard sub your AVIs, which means reencoding which takes time, no matter how little you like the fact.
    And beware: aXXo & FXG are movie pirates, which we neither like nor discuss here at VideoHelp.

    What format are your subtitles in?
    Many DVD/AVI players will display AVI subtitles if they're in the right format, and in the same directory, and named the same as the video.
    You could try burning your DivX movie and the subtitle file onto a disk, and trying the Subtitle button on your remote.
    For instance, burning justins_video.avi and justins_video.srt onto the same disk could well work.

    Depending on your computer specs and movie length, 3 hours to reencode is not out of the ordinary.
    However, most DVD Players that play AVI files, also handles subtitles in .srt format. Just follow mine/KBeee's advice. If yours don't - You have to reencode using something like AutoGK. Which, as you've noticed, takes time. Regardless of what software you use. Only a faster computer would make any significant difference.

    And you are unable to let a 3 hour re-encode job run while you sleep because ... ? Hint - if you let if run while you sleep, does it really matter if it takes 3 hours?

    Well, it seems like your player doesn't support (at least .srt) subtitles. Or:
    On one of my players, I have to first select the .SRT file, then the AVI file. It will then be played with subtitles. If I just select the AVI, it plays without subtitles.
    Keeping your file names short (8.3) may also improve matters.
    If all else fails - Read the manual! What does your DVD player manual say about subtitle support?

    Do you know if the name of the folder needs to be short also, or just the video files/subs.

    Up to your hardware, but sticking to 8.3 file/folder names is a rule I try to employ as much as possible. No "odd" characters, no spaces... Make it as easy as possible for your hardware.

    8.3 mean the file name must be 12345678.123 in which 12345678 is the file name anh 123 is the file type such as avi not divx.

    Sometimes it is hard to come up with only a 8 letter name, but I guess I'll try to do that from now on. And how about the name you give to your DVD, that doesn't need to be 8 letter as well right :P

    Renaming files? Surely you're compuer literate enough to do that?
    AVI names at times look like This.is.the.name.of.the.latest.movie.XviD.ac3.DVDR ip_FXY_.avi, and the sub conversively named This.is.the.name.of.the.latest.movie.XviD.ac3.DVDR ip_FXY_.srt - Rename to latestmv.avi and latestmv.srt - eight characters (or less), a period, and three (or less) characters. Safe and sound.
