DVDLab Pro Subtitles

[nirbhayn]

Hi
I have bunch of svcds which i want to put on a dvd with fancy menus so iam try to use dvdlab pro. when the dvd is completed. i noticed the subtitles are half off screen at the bottom.
why would this be happning. do i have to make any settings when iam adding subtitles in dvdlab?.

Is the video hardsubbed? If it is, do a search on overscan.

If not, use DVDSubEdit to position the subtitles a bit higher.

so i put the dvd through DVDSubEdit after i have made the dvd from dvdlab?.

[träskmannen]

Yes.

SVCDs usually have the subs burned in. Sounds like an overscan issue to me.

nirbhayn, do you even know whether or not your subs are selectable? If they're not, all you can do is reencode, adding black around the outside so the subs become visible.

i dont have subs on the original svcd but i tried putting svcd subs but i cant see them. which player to use

[manono]

OK, my mistake then. You said also that they were half off the bottom, and now you can't see them at all?

If they're on the DVD but too low, then you take träskmannen's advice and use DVDSubEdit to raise them. Here's the guide:

Section 2.7 explains how to raise them and sec. 2.1 explains how to apply and save the changes for all subs.
