Problem with movie subtitles

Sep 7, 2010 5:49PM PDT

The problem is as follows:

I like to watch movies in .avi form both on the computer, laptop and dvd player.

Recently I have noticed that when I make a folder with the .avi file and subtitles from Windows 7 (new OS so never tried it before with DVDs), my dvd player (DVD disk not usb) does not see the subtitles but when I do the very same thing from Windows XP, it works with the very same files and dvd player.

In windows 7 the film can be seen with subtitles but not on the dvd.

Why is that?
