Open a text editor like Notepad or Wordpad and open a video player program like Windows Media Player (something that will let you see the run time).
In the text editor, write out the subtitles you wish to create using the following format: a) the number indicating where the subtitle belongs in a sequence, b)the time the subtitle should appear and then disappear, and c) what the subtitle will say. Each part goes on a separate line with a blank line separating each subtitle section. The format for the time sequence is hours:minutes:second.milliseconds with a comma between the start and end times.
Example:
1
0:00:00.501,0:00:04.110
Once upon a time,

0:00:04.990,0:00:07.361

Save the file changing the file extension to .SRT (example: thelittleprincess.SRT). The file name you choose should be the same as the file name of the video the subtitles will accompany and the SRT file should be saved in the same folder as the video file. Change "Save as type" to "All Files" and "Encoding" to "ANSI" or "UTF-8." Generally speaking, ANSI is used for English subtitles and UTF-8 for other languages.
Open "Any Video Converter" and add the video file where you wish to add the subtitles.Scroll down on the righthand vertical menu and under "Audio Options>Subtitle" select the SRT file you created from the drop-down menu.
From the vertical menu running across the top select "Edit>Options." Click on the subtitle tab. Default subtitle encoding should be UTF-8. Under "Position," select where on the screen you want your subtitles to appear. For "Size," it is recommended that you select "Proportional to the movie diagonal." Pick any number you choose under "Default scale," just note that the larger the number, the larger the font size.
To change the font, open "My Computer>Windows>Fonts." Right-click on the font you want and select "Properties." Copy the font name and replace the font name after C:\\WINDOWS\Fonts\in Any Video Converter. Keep the extension of the font file the same as what was listed under the font's properties, which in most cases is .TTF.
In the Options Window in "Any Video Converter," click "OK" to apply and save your changes.
To preview the video with the subtitles, click on the file name and then push "Play" under the preview screen on the top-right corner.
Once you are satisfied with the look of your subtitles, click on the "Convert" button at the top to convert the video file to video with subtitles.
