Converting AVI to DVD: Subtitle and menu organization issues

I've got some AVI files with subtitles that I tried to convert to DVD format using an AVI converter (since my stupid player won't touch AVI files). But now I'm running into two major headaches:

1. When I play the DVD on my computer, the subtitles are totally cut off—you can only see the top half—because the software added these black bars at the top and bottom. I'm guessing it's going to look just as bad on my TV.
2. When I convert the AVI to DVD, the program spits out these VIDEO_TS files. However, when I try to convert multiple AVI files into DVD formats so I can burn them all onto one single DVD, I have no clue how to organize them so I can actually pick what I want to watch from a menu.

Thanks in advance

Just download Adobe and then get back to me... you can actually set the subtitle positions right there in the settings...
Look, when you're converting DivX to DVD, you have to bake those subtitles in from the start—you can't just try to slap them on later and expect it to work!!! And with Adobe, you can burn the movie straight to a disc immediately... because if you want to burn it yourself, you'd have to open the DVD video project in something like Nero and manually shove all those converted files into the video_ts folder:...

No, no, and absolutely not! 🙄

Look, here is a guide—though I suppose you’d probably have to use DVDLab Pro to actually build it

and then—if all goes well—you might finally have a DVD that actually works properly
