CVD subtitles problem

[Amit]

I have just ripped the "My Best Friend's Wedding" R1 with D2S 1.0.9 b2. After burning the image onto the CD, the CVD subtitles are coming at the TOP of the screen instead of the Bottom. Also, 1 line subtitles don't appear at all and 2 lines appear with 1st line 75% truncated at the TOP.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening? How can make it look like the original subtitles?

Thanks in advance.

I have recently changed my CD burner from Yamaha CDRW4416S (4x4x16) to LG GCE-8400B (40x12x40). It seems the new burner is doing some strange things. Whenever I put an audio cd my system hangs. This happens as I have Windows Media Player (7.0/7.1) associated with Audio CDs. If I use any other player, everythings seems to work.

Also, when I try to burn the BIN/CUE files, the CDRWin hangs at "Writing Leadout Track... Please Wait...". Even, I tried to do a DISK COPY using Easy CD Creator and Deamon Tools, and the burned CD is unplayable. Since, the Leadout Track is not written by CDRWin properly, I guess that could be the reason of the subtitles not coming at right place.

Since, I had a really bad experience with this writer I will be returning it although I have to pay restocking fee (damn :mad: )

My old writer work very well except that its slow. Can someone recommend a good speed writer which can overburn CDs too and still fast. This is what I have found on the usent groups...

But the writers that can do this stuff are old slow without burnproof.

I will be very thankful to u guys if u can help me pick a good writer.

Thanks in advance...

good burner = liteon 40x or 48x( if already available )

liteon = quality + cheap + you can make 1:1 copies of " protected games ":D using clone cd for example. + overclocable

imho best burner you can get

While I have no experience with recent LG burners (older models were among the very few that would burn 99min CD-Rs perfectly well), I doubt the problems with subtitle positioning come from an improperly written leadout track. Many (most?) standalones will play back (S)VCDs without leadout tracks (e.g. if you overburn and the leadout does not fit anymore).
Have you tried the preview feature of DVD2SVCD? It will show you the placement of subtitles ... and allow you to modify it.
Also, have you tried running it as a single master device to exclude IDE problems?
