Another thing. The original subtitles stop at 2:25 but these stop at 2:22. I don't know if that is due to the framerate of PAL.
Update. I burned the DVD but there is no sound. I can't activate the subtitles. Also there are no chapters so when I go to scene selection I can not skip to a certain scene. I did used IFOedit to pick the language but for some reason German is not on the list. I'm not sure why the subtitles weren't there though. I'll try again tommorow.
I ran into your problem of synchronising the PAL subs to the NTSC VOB files with Subtitle Workshop when I ripped a commercial DVD (it worked ok with my own burned disks).I don't know what's causing it - there are a number of fixes listed in Google, but I cannot get them to work. The problem with chapters;did you extract the celltimes with Pgcdemux step and add them in Muxman.
You're right I had not put in the celltimes. I tried again and the subtitles would not show up for some reason. Even though you could choose them they wouldn't display onscreen. They were there when I checked with DVDsubedit. I think I did something wrong with IFOedit. I tried to burn a disc and forget about the menus and that did work fine. Thanks for all the help. I'll try again so I can keep the menus later on.
I hope someone can help. I was watching the movie and at one point the subtitles become de-sync'd. Originally I joing two SRT. files because it was split it two. The de-syinc happens when it jumps from the first file to the next. Does anyone know what I can do? And Subtitle Workshop won't do it because it doesn't let you watch the entire movie. It breaks the movie into parts.
