I had problems with this for awhile too.

What is your standalone player? I *believe* the actual SVCD standard for subtitles is CVD Subtitles, *not* SVCD. Try using CVD instead of SVCD - this worked perfectly on my Apex AD660.

@gamerchris goto vcdhelp, there you can see what your dvd player can and can't do.

I'll try and make the subtitles cvd. My dvd player is a
Philips DVD 724

[Arianos]

Officially, Philips supports it's own subtitles (SVCD Type)
Unofficially, it will only bring you headaches. Trust me on that.
At best, subs will appear for about 15 minutes, then they will freeze along with the picture or show garbage etc.
That goes for all Philips DVD players, AFAIK.
Do a search on the site or VCD Help or http://forum.ianc.net/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=6
CVD subs, don't work at all on Philips.
If I were you and was dying for subs, I would go for permanent. If selectable subs is a must, then I would buy a cheap Chinese DVD player.
Sorry to sound a little harsh, but I am a "burned and pissed" Philips 743 owner (Luckily, it's not my only player)
