DVD2SVCD correctly coded my subtitles but i don't see them on my DVD player...

[relative]

I encoded subtitles using the DVD2SVCD's SVCD selectable format, but playing my video & selecting subtitles with my remote control nothing happen and i don't see any news on the video.

So i decided to encode subtitles permanently into the mpg (this should solve the problem, if the subtitles are always there i'll see them), do i need to repeat the entire encoding process? (i mean audio extraction, ancoding, video encoding, muxing and so on)

I don't know if term "permanent" means that sutitles are hardly encoded with video frames, if this is the case i need to repeat the entire conversion process from the beginning, otherwise using the recover button of DVD2SVCD from which step i need to restart?

Thank you.

Hello!

Short answer: Yes, the subtitles are hardcoded into the video. A search would have given the answer much faster.
To redo the whole process (without ripping again) would be surely the best decision.
About the SVCD selectable subtitles i´m quite sure that it is a player problem. There are only some compatible standalone player, and i personally don´t know any software player that supports selectable subs. Check vcdhelp (http://www.vcdhelp.com) for the compatibility and more information about your standalone player.
