sorry pal

had a little look in the user manual of it for you (pdf on the homepage)

pg 45 - "At present, DVDStyler v1.31 does not support subtitles"

Your best bet would be to author it normally using the program and then use some other utility to mux them in seperately later. May need to save the DVDStyler project, close the program, then play with the XML file directly before re-opening it to create the disc structure (but NOT burn), in order for it to actually have the capability of playing the subtitles later muxed into the file.
(or this might in turn kill the authoring process. hmm.)

don't take my word for it though, i only started using the thing myself a few days ago

the changelog here and at the homepage says-:

1 December 2005: DVDStyler v1.5 beta 3 Released!
Changes:
* added support of subtitles and several audio tracks

it doesnt say it was removed after that version, i was thinking the subtitle options were deep buried in the program but i aslready tried all the menus and there was no sign of it.

i'll have to try the other Gui´s for dvdautor.

Thanks EddyH

Hmmm, there ARE options for selecting subtitle stream, etc, in the properties of each video item you add - but I think it's only for setting what subtitle displays by default (and which audio plays, etc, etc) out of several pre-existing tracks within an already-muxed VOB.
