Surely this question has been dealt with in this forum but I can not find what looking for; so please, don't tell me "use the search button".

I've got an avi file (a millennium chapter, with no audio) and a srt file with the subtitles for that avi.

I am able to watch that millennium chapter in my DVD player, and as long as I put the srt in the cd containning the avi file (same name in both file, one ending in avi and the other one in srt) I got subtitles.

The trouble is the size and color of the subs that I got. Very small and kind of yellowish, hard to see.

Using Vobsub I've been able to alter the way I see those subs in my pc, but no matter how I try when I go back to my DVD player, the subs remain the same, small and yellowish.

I've tried opening the srt file, but it's a plain text file, with some numbers that I assume are timestamps. Nothing that suggests font sizes and colours.

Well, any help?

Thanks

My DVD player is a BestBuy. So far it hasn't failed playing back the common video files. It can cope with X-VCD (vcd, svcd, etc.), AVI (divx, xvid). No luck with the newest ones like matroska or ogg.

Hope this information helps.

Thanks
