question about burning to disk

I've never burned a show to a dvd before. I know my dvd player is a JVI XV-S45 CD/DVD player, and I also have a PS2 for a dvd player.
Will the animes with subtitles play with the subtitles on these or will it just play the RAW version? Also do they have to be .avi like danworth was converting them to or does it just depend on your dvd player?

Uh... first off, you need a DVD burner. Computer burners offer the best flexibility, control, and price for that. You can't burn DVDs using your player; a DVD player is different from a VCR in that respect. From there, you set your settings. If you want subs, find a program that will put subs in. If you want to use a certain format, find a program that supports that format. A DVD player will only play DVD-video discs, among other types that it supports, like VCD, music CD, etc. So if you burn the file onto the disc, all you're doing is putting the file onto the disc, and while this results in less space usage, it is probably not compatible with your player, unless you have a DivX player or something similar. To create a DVD-video disc you need to convert the video files, and from past experience this can take ages and the resulting quality is pretty bad compared to the original.
If your laptop is fairly new (within the past, I dunno, 5-odd years, maybe) it should have a standard built-in burner, otherwise it's a POS, no offense. Read the label on your optical drive.
