Battle Royale II Region 3 Subtitle problems

[chjohnnie]

I have been backing up DVD's to DVD+RW's for a couple of years now.
I am running a P4 1.6 Ghz
W/ Windows XP
Using DVD Decrypter/DVD Shrink/IMG Tools to make my back-ups.
Never had a problem until now.

I have a Region 3 copy of Battle Royale II
It has 2 audio tracks, Japanese DTS and Japanese AC3 5.1
It has 3 subtitle tracks, Chinese, English, and Chinese Simplified.

DVD Decrypter gets rid of region code, no problems there
DVDShrink gets rid of DTS sound, don't need it
I kept all subtitle files, they are small anyway.

When I compress W/ DVDSHRINK, and burn to a DVD+RW,
I can play back the video w/ sound onj my Sony Set-top, but there are no subtitles.
If I play the files from my hard drive or from the disk in my DVD+RWdrive, subtitles are there.

What am I doing wrong?

I tried to keep both audio files and all subtitle W/ menus, but get the same results
my burner is a sony DVD+RW classic model
but if the subtitles read onthe computer files, and the disk in the computer
i don't think this is the problem.

In addition, my son's Disney DVD player bring up the Chinese subtitles
but not the English or Chinese Simplified

Please Help

You are not alone. I have run into the same problem. I used shrink which stripped the region code but gives me no sub titles. I've tried shrinking the whole disc and then have reauthored it without the dts track. I then play it on a Toshiba 3900 and there are no subtitles. It's funny because when I scroll threw the subtitle options the player realized that sub 2 is English, but does not display them on the screen. I haven't tried it on the computer so I'm not sure if the subtitles work there.

I've searched every forum and have found no answers....let's hope someone comes up with something here!
