Help, no selectable subtitles with vcdeasy

[nolli]

I absolutly can confirm the problems with the subtitles.
With Vcdeasy/Vcdimager 7.12 it seems to be absolutly impossible to create a Mpeg2 with Subtitles, if PBC is On. (i burned a dozen of Disks..)
-I muxed the subtitles with Winsubmux and burned the SVCD with Nero and all worked fine (but nero is no real authoring-tool, no chaptes)
-I tried the Vcdimager-Demo-SVCD and all worked fine (so my dvd-Player works)
-I deactivated PBC with VCdimager and also anything works,

"Only"

-if PBC is activated in VCDimager (what i need because of the selectable chapters) there are no more Subtitles visible,
although there are the same messages from vcdimager that subtitles are detected.

Is there someone who knows about this bug?
Wich Authoring-Software works with Subtitles and PBC?
(The only Application i Know is I-Author, but these are CVD-Subtitles and no real SVCD-Subtitles)

I designed the subtitles with Substation alpha (ssa), an created the Bitmaps with MaestroSBT. Then i muxed 2 audio and 4 Subtitles with
Winsubmux.

The problem seems to be with vcdimager. In an archive i have found a posting from someone who has found and corected this bug, but it seems that the author of vcdimager has ignored this. He also do not react to my personal postings in the vcdimager-forum. Maybe this in an unpleasant problem. I also have the feeling, that noone really works with selectable subtitles and also the Users as well as programmers have no idea, so that the authors think that there is nio need to react.

Who has ever produced a svcd with "selectabe" subtiles and selectable chapters (PBC)??????

Is it true that you cannot view your SVCD with Selectable Subtitles in PowerDVD...? I also have a kind of a similar problem, I used DVD2SVCD, ripped, everything, Selected the Subtitles, the Commentary, and I think I did everything right accordingly, but when I burned the Image the movie played perfect, but there weren't any Subtitles, or the Multiple Audio Stream I had selected, I was looking through the folder and it seems that the Subbed WERE muxxed using bbMpeg because that's what the file was named...I tried searching around Doom and posted a thread aswell, but noone seems to care...maybe someone could point me to somewhere or something I might not be doing right...reply would be appreciated...

There is no software DVD player that plays selectable subs from SVCD!

Well, I had exactly the same problem. I have a Daewoo DVD T6300N player (it is a TYT Clone), and I upgraded the firmware with the Gruding 133S(Yahoo TYT Clones forum), because my DVD player don't support SVCD subtitles (the 133s firmware support it).
I am using DVD2SVCD to rip the DVD to SVCD (It use WinSUbMux to subtitles) and I am using VCDEasy V1.1.5 to make chapters.
When I used SVCD style subtitles, the subtitles don't work whith chapters, but if I used VCD style subtitles, the subtitles work fine with chapters and menus.
