What is the problem?

A little more information would help, but I'm betting the movie is half-D1 (352 pixels wide, probably mpeg-1). The reason I say this is the scaling of the subs. PowerDVD and DVDSubEdit understand that subs are NOT scaled with the video, but are always 720 pixels wide.

Funny. I have the same issue and posted here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1431061#post1431061

Maybe yours is Half-D1 also?

Yep, For sure its 1/2 D1. I've had this a few times in the past with extras that I recoded into 1/2 D1. It should play OK in a standalone.

The worst part of that problem: the so-called "raw video filter" of ffdshow uses the same b0rked DVD-subpicture "engine", so one cannot use ffdshow's video processor while watching half-D1 DVDs (because ffdshow steals the subpicture connection from the spec-compliant MPEG-2 decoders). :mad: :mad: :mad:

I demux subs and open with SubtitleCreator. But it show them ok.
What I should do on demuxed *.sup files before remux DVD?

[Ghitulescu]

Nothing :)
The subtitles are OK, the video is not compatible with the player, so either change the player or reencode the video.

[dashali]

yeah, that's right!
I imported demuxed *.m2v in MuxMan. The video is NTSC 352x480 MPEG-2 4:3
It is good that I re-encode m2v to Full D1?
and How? (what way is better?)

[Midzuki]

The better choice is to use a better MPEG-2 decoder ;)

DScaler 5 is freeware, and does work correctly.

[dashali]

I want change resolution from 352x### to 720x###.
I try DVDPatcher & Restream to change M2V resolution, but it create half empty size.
How I can do it? with VirtualDub-MPEG2 how I can?
Or with any freeware/non-freeware software?
