    I am having a problem adding subtitles to a movie. I used Dvdsanta to convert an avi file to dvd format with subtitles. After I converted it I used nero express 6.3 to burn it to dvd. After this I tested in my dvd player and the movie plays fine but the subtitles are missing. Is this because of the version of nero I am using?

    hey there...sorry i couldn't help you but i do have the same problem. however i am using Convertxtodvd program to burn my movies.

    those who knows about convertxtodvd please help me. when i added my .avi file along with da subtitles (idx/sub) in da same name/folder, it shows that it is an external subtitle stream. for example, 0 internal, 2 external with the 'zh, en' both checked and the chinese subs as DVD DEFAULT.

    i thought that would be alright so i clicked convert. but when that was finished, i tried to play it on POWERDVD on computer and weirdly the subtitles didn't show. i've tried burning it to DVD-R to test if it works on my standalone dvd player and sure enough, no subtitles. I've clicked da 'subtitle' button on remote too but it says that its 'off' and doesn't display anything at all, which i now assume that its not there.

    can someone please tell me what i did wrong? is it because the sub is an 'external' stream and not an 'internal' stream? if so how can i fix this?

    thanks a million.

    I also have the same problem. Has something changed in the recent versions of convertxtodvd? cos it never had this problem before!!

    basically, idx/sub files are now treated as "external" and they don't appear overlayed onto the resulting DVD files...

    someone please tell us how to sort it out!

    thanks
