Chinese & Serbo-Croatian subtitles corrupted in DVDLab Pro

[umforrest]

Hi Guys,

I have been encountering this issue for several days already but couldn't find a solution. I do hope you guys have some suggestions on this.

I'm working on DVD authoring in DVDLab Pro. I would have to create subtitles into 5 languages; Arabic, Chinese, Serbo-Croatian, Russian, and Somali. Arabic, Russian, and Somali are OK now. But i'm having problems with Chinese and Serbo-Croatian.

I have created .srt subtitles in VisualSybSync. Then import them into DVDLab Pro. Fonts and scripts have been set to match the target languages i guess. I tried Simhei, Simsun fonts for Chinese, with Chinese script. I have also set my Windows regional and language to Chinese. But the font is still corrupt. I have attached a screen grab here.

Could somebody help me out, please. I'm really struggling.

Cheers,

DVD-lab PRO accepts .son subtitles, right? So, use them MaestroSBT can convert Unicode ("UTF-16") SSA files to the .son format. Honestly, .srt is good enough for watching .AVIs , but definitely is not the best source for the creation of DVD subtitle pictures.

I have also set my Windows regional and language to Chinese.

Please undo that, and just avoid formats or applications that don't support Unicode correctly

Hi Heggunte，

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I have tried. But seems that i'm still getting font corruption issues. Not sure if what's wrong. Is there any other way round?

Thanks!

Please upload a copy of the "problematic" .SRT files

(IF you can view them correctly in Notepad or Wordpad for example, save them as UTF text).
