Hi everyone
I have a Philips DVD/Divx player (DVP3146K/98) and it supports (.srt, .smi, .sub, .ssa, .txt) divx subtitles. I'v burned a divx disc with the .avi and the .srt in the same folder and (same name). The video works fine but the subtitle isn't in the language i want (Arabic), It's has mixed letters and characters between latin, chinese, trees and squares.
I switched between the region codes but the problem stills. My question is: Did i miss a step in the burning stage, like i had to modify something in the .srt file.
please help

It maybe doesn't support arabic characters. You could try make a divx with image subtitles using sub2divx or AVIAddXSubs.

Baldrick is probably right. Philips DVD players support Latin and Cyrillic character sets for Divx subtitles and that is all. I am not aware of any exceptions.
We get posts here all the time from guys who want to see Divx with Arabic subtitles and can't find a player that supports it. I don't think there is going to be a solution for you except to encode your files with what we call "hard subtitles' where they are part of the video image. -
jman98, there is no need to re-encode the video and make hard subs. The solution suggested by Baldrick is lossless, way easier and faster; xsub is the most appropriate format for stand-alone players. I use AVIAddXSubs which has never disappointed me, it is an excellent tool.
