Embedding subtitles on an .avi files

Hi guys...is there a way to embed subtitles on an .avi file?

I was given this foreign language movie (on .avi format) that had the subtitles on a separate .srt file. I have no problem viewing it on my computer however if I wanted to view it on my TV via a dvd player with a usb port...the .avi file plays but the subs are gone even if I copy the whole folder with the .srt files into the flash drive.

Is there a way to embed the subtitles (from a .avi and separate .srt file) into a new .avi file?

Many Thanks

make sure that the .avi files has the same name with the .srt files ..

You can also use Handbrake to burn the subtitles on the video file itself. But then removing them will be impossible. Make sure you have the correct subtitles, or at least make a backup of the .avi in case things go wrong.
