Delay subtitles in conversion

[Codename 47]

the subtitles i have for my avi file are out of sync, so when i play them on bsplayer i delay or speed them up depending which ones they are. is there a way to set the delay when i am converting the file to either vcd or dvd otherwise my subs will constantly be out of sync?

 

[Codename 47]

if i burn the subtitle file on the disk with the film file will it automatically play or do they definately have to be hardcoded? is there a way to delay the sync when hardcoding as opposed to conversion?
