Embedding subtitles into video

Hello,
I finished editing a short student film using Avid Xpress. A friend of mine wrote hearing impaired subtitles and carefully synchronized them. The subtitles are in SRT format, which I can easily convert into any other textual format (SUB, SSA etc).
I'd like to EMBED the subtitles in the video file, so the final DVD will contain the movie with the merged titles.
How can I do that?
I found lots of information regarding Virtualdub and embedding subtitles into Xvid/Divx videos, but I don't want to use any external program that will cause loss of quality to the original video.

Thanks,
Jane

Can you merge the subtitles using the Title track? (Studio 11 user)

The only way I know to do this would be to add text using the Title track, carefully synchronising it to each line of dialogue on screen. It'll mean that you'll have to type it out again, or copy and paste.

There is a tool that you can use to convert srt to Avid bin (avb) file on http://www.coya-es.com
