I downloaded TV serial 24. They are avi files each around 370mb compressed using Divx. But when I drag the subtitle file, the text runs ahead of video by 10-20 seconds. I tried subtitle files (.srt) from 7 different websites and same happens every time. Please help me. Whats the solution to this problem?

Players used- VLC and GOM.

If you view it on JET AUDIO, you do get the option to adjust the subtitle timing!!

Also make sure that Subtitle fps and video fps are same!!

No need to change your video player.. In GOM player also you can explore the subtitle, and sync it with the video. Alt + E should bring you the subtitle explorer.. then sync the subtitle according to your need and save it.. :)

Most modern players allow you to resync subtitles on the fly. In KMPlayer for eg the shortcut is Ctrl + [ and Ctrl + ].
Btw, for tv shows you need to match the release to get proper working subs.
Or you can modify the subtitle using Divxland Subtitle Editor

I recommend getting the subtitles from www.tvsubtitles.net, and THEN going to your favourite torrent site and getting the matching video file :) I do that for all the series I watch, and they work :)

I use subsync to edit the .srt files. There may be more better tools, but I am now used to this tool.

These .srt files can be opened in notepad & edited..but it is very tedious 2 do the same ...instead use 3rd party apps as recommended by others....:D
