Codec problem with subtitles on Video CD

[Son T]

I downloaded some early episodes of DragonBall Z (Sayan Saga) and I wanted to burn them on CD, but in order to watch those episodes on my DVD player I had to burn it on CD-R in form of Video CD. The puzzle is, those episodes had subtitles viewable through a codec that came with the downloaded pack, but naturally DVD player didn't recognize subtitles on CD-R because there was no codec attached/support in the DVD player. Is there a way to make those subs shown on a DVD player?

Tech specs to help figuring out: Codec for the subs - VobSub
Burning software used: Nero Burning ROM v.6.3.0.2

I don't know if anyone can help with this kind of problem but thanks for those who can enlighten about this issue.

And please explain step by step what I have to do...what programs to use and how to use them....thx!

You'll have to re-encode the mpeg with TMPGenc to produce permanant subtitles. Make sure Vobsub directshow filter is installed - choose vcd template - load mpeg - go to file > preview and check that subtitles are showing. If not go go environmental setting > vfapi plug-in and give vobsub higher priority.
