You say you can't get it to work but you don't mention what your exact problem is. Are your subs out of sync? Do you miss or misunderstand a step? How far did you get?

yeah the problem is when i use the burnt dvd on my computer all is fine but once i put it in my dvd no subs??

Also to note

if i put the edited VIDEO_TS.BUP & VOB file in the original dvd files it doesn't play at all with power dvd, so i left them out which let me play the dvd files perfectly with powerdvd but once ive used Copytodvd to write the files to disk it just dont work video fine but no subs?

i have also try'd it on 2 dvd player's?

Also yes ive pressed the subtitle button om my remote my screen is wide screen but its not cutting anything off?

You say everything is fine on your computer but it's not ok on your standalone. Does that mean that the subs are appearing correctly on ypur computer monitor? iF that's the deal, you probably haven't positioned your subtitles correctly and they appear somewhere outside your TV's borders. Try watching it on a 4:3 screen TV and see if the subs are ok.

I've checked out the guide your following and I can't find anywhere in the text saying about positioning the subs. Maybe you should try DVD-Lab Pro or DVDMaestro if you want to author a DVD and also add subtitles, create menus and stuff like that.

Almost certainly not the dvd player cutting off the subs, ive just copied the edited files only on to a dvd and it works with subs???

but if i copy the original title screne sub menu's and scene select file to the new edited main video and burn no subs??
