<p>I researched on net and found that it's very to add subtitle to any <code>.avi</code> file format. Here is a link for a site called <a href="http://www.any-video-converter.com/add-srt-subtitle-to-output-video.php" rel="nofollow">Any Video Converter</a> where an example has been given that How to create <code>.srt</code> file for Subtitles?</p>

<p>For quick view, below I am specifying format for Subtitle file (.srt)</p>

<pre><code>1
00:00:03,000 --&gt; 00:00:07,000
Hi Friends, This is First Track

2
00:00:14,000 --&gt; 00:00:17,000
Second Track goes here

3
00:00:18,000 --&gt; 00:00:22,000
Third Track goes here
</code></pre>

<p>So, we have to just follow this format. There should be a new line between each track. That's it.</p>

<p><code>00:00:18,000</code> is format of <code>hh:mm:ss:ms</code>. So it's pretty simple.</p>

<p>This can also be accomplished if you have <a href="http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">VirtualDubMod</a> and a TextSub provider installed such as <a href="http://www.videohelp.com/tools/VobSub" rel="nofollow">VobSub</a> or <a href="http://www.videohelp.com/tools/VSFilter-DirectVobSub" rel="nofollow">VSFilter</a>.</p>

<p>To use VobSub, during installation you <strong>must</strong> select the <strong>Plugins -> TextSub for VirtualDub and Avisynth</strong> option.</p>

<p>To use VSFilter, you must locate the <code>VSFilter.dll</code> file in the installation directory and copy it to the <code>plugins</code> folder with the extension changed to <code>.vdf</code> (e.g. <code>VirtualDubMod\plugins\VSFilter.vdf</code>).</p>

<p>Once you've installed one of them:</p>

<ol>
<li>Open the .avi file in VirtualDubMod</li>
<li>Select <strong>Video -> Filters</strong> from the menu or press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>F</kbd></li>
<li>Click <strong>Add</strong> and select <strong>TextSub</strong> from the filters list and press <strong>OK</strong></li>
<li>A file navigator should have appeared, select the <code>.srt</code> file.</li>
<li>Optionally, at this point set up the compression under <strong>Video -> Compression</strong>. Save the merged file with <strong>File -> Save as AVI</strong></li>
</ol>

<p>Can I create subtitle (.srt) file manually (to add subtitle) for .avi file?</p>

<p>I have created .avi file using Snagit but there is no option to add subtitle as well. So can I create subtitle file manually by myself? Or Do I have to download a specific Software for it?</p>

<p>Does it follows any structure?</p>

This can also be accomplished if you have [VirtualDubMod](http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/) and a TextSub provider installed such as [VobSub](http://www.videohelp.com/tools/VobSub) or [VSFilter](http://www.videohelp.com/tools/VSFilter-DirectVobSub).

To use VobSub, during installation you **must** select the **Plugins -> TextSub for VirtualDub and Avisynth** option.

To use VSFilter, you must locate the `VSFilter.dll` file in the installation directory and copy it to the `plugins` folder with the extension changed to `.vdf` (e.g. `VirtualDubMod\plugins\VSFilter.vdf`).

Once you've installed one of them:

1. Open the .avi file in VirtualDubMod
2. Select **Video -> Filters** from the menu or press `Ctrl` + `F`
3. Click **Add** and select **TextSub** from the filters list and press **OK**
4. A file navigator should have appeared, select the `.srt` file.
5. Optionally, at this point set up the compression under **Video -> Compression**. Save the merged file with **File -> Save as AVI**
