    <br>
    Yes, I think you'r right, and I wondered a bit about it, but had no
    keyboard shortcut for ffplay to test switching subtitles on and off.<br>
    <br>
    So, afterwards I was more convinced - and fooled, when both Gnome
    Media player (Totem) and SMplayer automatically displayed the
    subtitles.<br>
    But that was when the srt subtitle file had the same name as the mpg
    video file and was located in the same directory. But this worked as
    well with the first mpg file (1).<br>
    <br>
    The command line "vlc dvd.mpg dvd.srt" also worked with audio. Why
    both VLC and MPlayer lost the audio with the srt muxed mpg file I
    have no idea about.<br>

      conversion for you ?<br>

    <br>
    Andrey mentioned the "srt2vobsub" program,  which seems to the same
    as the "srt2vob" script for DVD and "2dsub" for BD vobsub<br>

    And from my reference to g-raffa: <br>
    <blockquote>PRE-RENDERED SUBTITLES<br>
          they are added (muxed) to the video stream as images with
      minimal information but can be separated (demuxed) when needed.
      They are used in DVDs         and they can be turned on and off.<br>
          Most DVD authoring applications are capable of transcoding

                8) DevedeNG got so far an error while creating the DVD
                iso from (3) <br>
                Tested the movie file in the tree structure with VLC,

                              2.1 Preferably I want to add/import
                              subtitles as fast and easy using GUI
