I cannot see my subtile!

Hi. I'm just beginning to make some DVD authoring, ans I'm stuck with this issue.
I have both an english movie and its subtitle, in .SRT format. Since english is not my native tongue, I wished to add a selectable english subtitle to the DVD, so the movie's comprehension becomes much easier.
I read hundreda of tutorials, I learned that one could convert the .SRT to .SUP format and author the M2V, the audio stream abd the .SUP. I made it and authored the image with ReJig.
The problem is that the movie is perfect, I can select the english subtitle but nothing displays on screen.
If I try to rip the subtitle with SubRip it appears perfectly (only, it is strange because the subtitle appears blu in a black blandscape) , but I cannot make it appear in the movie.
Did I use a wron authoing application? Or what?
Please note: in SrtSup, as 'global settings' I used Background: black trasparent, Text: white, all other colors: silver.
I 'Unchecked Use Default Target' and placed the subtitle at: X1=100 (left), Y1 (top)=470. Vertical alignement: bottom, Horizontal alignement: left.
Screen format = PAL 720 x 576 (25 fps), since y system is PAL.
What did I do wrong?

Thanks...

You may get better results if you use SubtitleCreator instead of Srt2Sup to create your SUP file... Also, I recommend MuxMan for muxing/authoring the new DVD.

You may need to find a program called SupRemap. Conversion from SRT to SUP gives you a SUP file that will almost never work correctly. The colors get screwed up all the time. Your subtitles may actually be displaying, but you just can't see them. Be sure that you didn't accidentally set everything in SRT2SUP to "transparent" also.

I have never used ReJig, but I successfully used IFOEdit to author a DVD with SUP subtitles last week after I used SupRemap to fix the color problems with them.
