I have a philips Q40 player. After a lot of trouble I was able to get nice svcd switchable subtitles working. I followed this guide www.how-to-convert.com/ask_us/a7042003.htm but when using maestroSBT choose only dvd resolutions (or your subtitles will not appear at the center of the screen) and didn't author witn nero(subtitles dissapear) but with vcdesay.
Now the horrible thing. After exactily 4min subs dissapear and I have to turn them off and on again. This happens all over the movie no matter if it is 5 min or 30 min long. With dvd2svcd the same thing which I understand since it uses the same programs. I will move to dvd soon but solving this problem is a challenge and I would like to do it.
Any clues?
I'm thinking in using Philips package but it only runs in windows NT 4.0....Thank you!
