How to Insert SRT Format Subtitles

SRT (Sub-Rip) files provide text-based subtitles for videos that use the Audio/Video Interleaved (AVI) file format. Windows Media Player does not include built-in support for SRT files. You can install an add-on called DirectVobSub to get SRT file support in Windows Media Player. DirectVobSub is available on the Free-Codecs website.
