Legend has it that the Roman Emperor Nero played the fiddle as Rome burned. The Nero Burning ROM is a play on words in this respect; it can be used to burn all kinds of files to all kinds of different media. If you want to create a subtitles track for a video file, Nero gives you a powerful and intuitive interface for doing so. Ready-made subtitles files can be in .srt or .sub format. You can find subtitles files on the Internet for nearly all well-known movies and some lesser-known movies. Sometimes these files need minor editing, also made easy by Nero's Recode module.
