authoring DVD with 2 audio tracks and soft subtitles

[Agent1266]

Hello,

I have to make a DVD with 2 audio tracks and soft subtitles from two AVI's.

I have followed the procedure found on this post:

https://forum.videohelp.com/topic352732.html

and it works very well, but how can I include the subtitles?

(I have now the .mpg file with the 2 audio tracks, but I kept the original files in case i have to start over ( AVI1, AVI2, AVI1audiofile, AVI2audiofile, AVI.muxed.m2v and AVI.muxed.mpg)

Not stupid at all. It is actually a hard question to answer.

but how can I include the subtitles?

What is the subtitle format?

I would try:
- take the movie.muxed.mpg and movie.srt
- load them up in the Tools>Author tab
- check if the result is what you intended (video + audio + audio + subs)

Yes, it seems this does the trick, indeed I have the 2 audio tracks and the subtitles.

However, the movie plays like it's missing frames, prob. something with the conversion erlier or the authoring.

In any case thank you for the support.

Would this video have a framerate of 23.976 fps? If so, there is a way to fix that.

After the authoring?

MPEG-2 files for DVD with 23.976 fps framerate should have a 3:2 pulldown. Without it, the playback may appear to stutter.
While it is most convenient to add this pulldown during conversion, it is also possible to add it to the .m2v file after conversion. You would need to mux and author again, though. But those are fast operations compared to the transcoding.
Use the Pull tool on the .m2v, the Mux tool to combine the video and audio streams (without authoring) and the Author tool to add the subs.
