[whoopy_whale]

Please tell me how to add text to a movie file?Which software should I use?
I need something that will help me add subtitles to the movie file.

Ya Windows media maker costs nothing and it`s update was there on Mindware (April 2003) !!

agreed u can add subtitles with that
but ull have to type it at the precise moment manually
and as far as i know adding a TXT file as subs is not possible
i know ur talkin abt the subs as it comes on the dvd's so for that u need the appropriate language's ".SUB" file from the dvd for proper synchronisation as well
ofcourse since i havent used windows movie maker i could be wrong

goto www.divxsubtitles.net ........ download the required subtitle file

now if u have a movie,say whose filename is........

forrestgump(someyear)_divx.avi

then, rename the subtitle file to similar name...i.e. forrestgump(someyear)_divx.sub (or .srt)

keep this file in the same directory where the film is.

Run it on a player which supports subtitles !!!!
