Hi-

First, were the subtitles created correctly? That is, were new idx and sub files created? If yes, then open the idx in Notepad and have a look at it. Are there a bunch of timestamps in there? After all the stuff at the top, you should come to the timestamps, like this:

# Decomment next line to activate alternative name in DirectVobSub / Windows Media Player 6.x
# alt: English
# Vob/Cell ID: 1, 1 (PTS: 0)
timestamp: 00:01:33:560, filepos: 000000000
timestamp: 00:01:39:099, filepos: 000001800
timestamp: 00:01:43:269, filepos: 000002800
.
.
.

Secondly, did the subtitles make it into the .avs? Open the .avs. Near the top, did you load the VSFilter? It should read something like this:

#LoadPlugin("F:\DIVXST~1\GKnot\TomsMoComp.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\DIVXST~1\GKnot\VSFilter.dll")
#LoadPlugin("F:\DIVXST~1\GKnot\SimpleResize.dll")

And did the vobsub line make it into the .avs. Further down, it should read something like this:

#
# SUBTITLES
VobSub("D:\The Princess Blade\Princess")
#

You may not see any subtitles when just doing a chapter or 2, and if you do see them, they may be the wrong subs, unless you reset the delay. But you should see them when doing the whole movie, either in the Preview, or by opening the saved .avs in VDubMod and scrolling around.

Please don't crosspost in several forums. I closed another thread (although I replied to that as well).
