Sometimes there is a need to convert your video containing subtitles - translation (in case the soundtrack is in language you do not understand), commentaries or simply the text of what the people on the screen say - that is really very helpful in case you cannot hear properly what is being said.

Using AVS Video Converter you can convert not only DVDs with subtitles into other video file types preserving the subtitles in the output video, but you can also convert, for instance, .avi files with subtitles located in separate files - .sub or .srt into other video files with subtitles.

Note: in case you convert an .avi video file with a .sub or .srt subtitle file please make sure that both files have the same name (e.g. My video.avi and My video.srt or My video.avi and My video.sub) so that the program could load the subtitle file correctly.

To select a video you would like to convert hit the Browse... button next to the Input File Name field:

In the opened Windows explorer window browse for the necessary video file:

Note: when your input is a DVD Disc, you will need to select the path to your source file: X:\Video_TS\Video_TS.IFO. "X" stands for your DVD-ROM or the hard disk drive folder where your DVD is stored:

It is usually safe to select the IFO file, rather than VOB file, because the IFO file contains the information about the entire DVD structure and this way you will avoid audio and video de-synch problems when converting. Also, most DVDs have several VOB files (files with actual video) and if you convert VOBs instead of IFO, you will have to merge them afterwards, which is not the case with the IFO files.

After the file is loaded click the Advanced >> button to open the file additional parameters:

The subtitles from the .sub or .srt file will be shown under the Subpicture option of the advanced parameters. Click the down arrow and select the subtitle from the list:

In case your input is a DVD it might contain more than one subtitle set. You will have to select the one you need from the drop-down list:

Click the Browse... button next to the Output File Name field and select a location on your HDD for the output video file.

Note: when you select a location for your output video file, you should save the file to your personal computer HDD.

Select the format for your output video file clicking one of the buttons of the Top Toolbar, select a preset from the list of available ones and hit the Convert Now! button to start converting:

The conversion process will take some time depending on the input file length, conversion parameters and your computer configuration. When it is over the program will offer uploading the output video file to a mobile device of yours or burn it to a disc.

Now your output video, converted into the format you need, will contain subtitles.
