Hello.

I'm trying to make a DVD movie out of a xvid file, and everything's great with ULEAD DVD Workshop 2. But there is one thing that doesn't work well. I have some subtitles, in srt format, that I convert to the proprietary ULEAD DVD Workshop 2 format with Subtitle Workshop. So far, so good. When I add those subtitles in ULEAD DVD Workshop 2, the timings seem to be right. But when I preview the movie (ie. press play), and then select any subtitle in the subtitle table below, the timings magically change! It seems that ULEAD DVD Workshop 2 is multiplying the subtitles times by some factor, because the beggining of the movie is still synchronized, while the end of the movie is no longer synchronized. I noticed that there are some parameters in the ULEAD DVD Workshop 2 format subtitle file that I don't understand, like #/R:1,1136 /FP:8, for instance. Could this be the problem? Any help would be appreciated. :)

This is the end of the movie...
The subtitles change themselves from this:

to this:

PS. The movie I'm trying to convert is 23,976 fps. And also, if I load the subtitle file, and save it again, right away, the times change as shown on these 2 screenshots.
