How to add subtitles to a movie?

Can anyone tell me how to add subtitles to a movie? I've already downloaded some for the movie [REC] from subscene.com, but I'm not exactly sure how to add them. I've read peoples comments of how they downloaded them and they worked. I'm just not exactly sure how they got them to work...

1. http://www.opensubtitles.org/en is the BEST resource. comprehensive list of movies that are subtitled, and easy to download. they have helpful FAQs too. however, my hint is that if you download a small text document, and just make sure that it is named the same thing as your .avi file (it'll end in .srt instead), then Windows should hook them up in Media Player automatically (make sure they're in the same folder too). Alternatively, if you're using Region-Free software (I recommend DVD Region-Free), then it can sync subtitles and video. It's sometimes fun to go into the subtitles and change some of the words around (such as a character's name) to be the name of a friend with whom you're watching the movie. Especially when it quickly becomes obvious that this isn't their real name.
