Tearing my hair out on this one. I have done this before with no problems. Using SVCD2DVD 2.5.5030 to convert AVI to DVD. Converted subtitles from .SRT to .SUP with Subtitle Creator 2.2. Absolutely, positively set Subtitle Creator to output NTSC subs (I've been burned by that before). Burned output of SVCD2DVD to DVD. Burnt DVD plays on the computer using PowerDVD and shows subtitles when I select them. Play DVD in same standalone player I have used for years, select subtitles on it, but don't get any subtitles. Verified problem is not likely the player by playing another movie created the same way a couple of months ago, using same version of SVCD2DVD and Subtitle Creator.

Anyone got a clue?

I'll attempt to tack my log file on here:
