How to add subtitles to any DVD or VCD

There are plenty of guides written by various people on this subject. Here is the easiest one that I have found.

Update: A better guide is available here

To add subtitles to a movie, you will require:

ffdshow or vobsub.
TMPGEnc

First download the subtitle for the movie from any of the following sites:

AllSubs.org
Subscene
Mysubtitles
Opensubtitles
Subtitle Database

The downloaded subtitle should be in the .sub or .srt format. Rename the subtitle file to the same name as the video but with a .sub or .srt extension. For example, if the video is named video.avi the subtitle should be named video.sub or video.srt.

Now we will require a subtitle filter. You can use ffdshow or vobsub subtitle filter.

Using vobsub filter
Install vobsub and run the vobsub configure to change the subtitle settings.

Using ffdshow filter
Install ffdshow and run the ffdshow Configuration.

1. Select Subtitles in the menu to the left
2. Enable the subtitles.
3. Hit Ok.

The subtitles should now appear if you play the video with Media Player. If not then the subtitles may be in wrong format.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.
