View Full Version : Subtitle disappears

Hi! I've successfully created a dvd from an avi, with a selectable subtitle. I was watching the movie, when suddenly the subtitle disappeared. It didn't come back even when a new chapter started during the playback. But when I changed to the next chapter manually, it was visible again. The same thing happens on my standalone and on my computer... What could be the problem? Is there any software which I could analyse my dvd with for errors? Importing into DVDShrink didn't indicated any errors...

A little addition. When the subtitle disappeared I noticed a small pause in the playback (watching on my computer)...

No ideas? Anyone?

I haven't come across this problem, but what authoring software are you using? That's the obvious thing to change, if possible.

I am using ReJig. If I know correctly, IfoEdit can't author NTSC DVDs properly. Is there any other software which can author NTSC DVD?

Muxman worked very well for me.

Word. And DVDAuthorGUI, a GUI for your basic open source authoring program dvdauthor.

Thanks for the tips. I have already tried DVDAuthorGUI, but for some reason it didn't work for me... I will try muxman.

Don't know about NTSC and GUI, but I'm sure dvdauthor can handle NTSC dvds. There are a lot of NTSClanders on dvdauthor mailing list. However I wouldn't use it with subtitles. spumux utility used to create and mux subtitles currently doesn't support antialiasing when making subtitles from text format and making subtitles from pngs can be painful.

Muxman handles this very well. I have created a dvd of my home videos with date/time as subtitles using muxman, quenc, dv_datecode, and windv software. A great set of products. Only problem is that my set top dvd player does not play dvd-r media, but they are perfect on my pc. Now I have to buy a new dvd player. Any good idea's.
