Are you sure they are subtitles and not closed caption titling? They might be closed caption that your tv was automatically displaying on the original broadcast.

I don't know if it is possible to record the closed captions with a dvd recorder or whatever type of unit you are using.

Assuming these are closed captions and not subtitles I would do a forum search for closed captions and see what you can dig up.

It would help to note whether or not you recorded off of cable/sat/fios or over the air. The transmission method is important.

Is this a dvr or a dvd recorder you are using?

Edit - it might also be beneficial to note your general location - Ie north america or Europe or Asia etc. The closed caption technology is different in the various areas if this is a closed caption issue.

Thank you yoda 313
They are closed captions, I didn`t realize the difference between cc and subtitles. I record to a dvd recorder via external antenna and then dub to dvd and watch the show on a different dvd player. My location is Australia.
