I use ffmpegx. I'm at work at the moment hence can't check, but I'm fairly sure it has an option whereby subtitles can be added. Could be wrong though.

I think just a mac dvd burner can help you .
Just get more information from Google.
I just used this software : iskysoft dvd creator for mac

This is a very interesting thread. I suspect many Mac users have a similar issue.
Hoony, which Mac do you drive? Perhaps it doesn't matter as long as you can video out to an AV adapter and thence to an RCA video male. That can go directly to your TV set Video In or your VHS Video in and consequently to your TV Video In. This will allow you to view AVIs, DivX, or any other format on your TV - cable connected.
Audio must be from your Mac's Audio Out to your TV or VHS Audio IN.
In my case to an amplifier, then to my speaker system.
It is necessary to shutdown the Mac before connecting the Video adapter and on Starting Up change the resolution to the smallest possible (in my case 640x480).
After viewing, shutdown unplug and restart and all returns to normal.
You are looking at about $20 for the adapter plus some RCA cabling.
I accept that this is simplistic electronics, but it works for me.
When I read between the lines, I guess you would rather just stick a Disk into your DVD and it's done. Me, too but I have found it isn't that simple. I will try the methods proposed in earlier posts, they look good and luckily I have all the facilities.
As an aside, I have found one anomaly that works sometimes, but not always... Say I have 4 avi movies... I simply burn them to one disk through Toast DVD-ROM (UDF) as Data. Very quick. Often my DVD player recognises and plays one! But not the next... Grrrr. Eject the disk, re-insert, select the 2nd file - and voila! She plays!
The mysteries of the DVD players, drives me nuts. I have 4 of 3 species and no two do the same thing.
Tried the SD Card - some play - some do not. Same goes for USB thumb drive. Some do - some do not. Consequently my interest in converting and burning, AVIs, Dix, XVid etc as disks are cheap.
If this whole issue is ever completely straightforward for Mac, I would love to see the howto. It seems to be the one place PC is king

i'm not usually concerned about thread resurrections, but this thread is from 2005, resurrected by a one post poster..

Toast is the one, I have Toast 9 Titanium, so I dont know about other Toast versions, but whatever file I want (except .mkv files) I simply insert a blank DVD in the superdrive, right click the file I want to burn, select "Toast It", and Im done, when its finished you simply pop it in to any DVD drive and it plays fine, never had any problems on any DVD player. Works great with many 700mb .avi files that seem to hang around the web nowadays...
