DVD to MPEG2 with subtitles in the picture

[pdv1956]

hi, i have some dvd's in 16:9 PAL, i want to view them on my 16:9 tv, but then the subtitles are out of view. so i can only see subtitles when my tv is 4:3 with black bars left/right, the move is in the center with black bars top/bottom, the subtitles are in bottom black bar.
what i like to do is to move the subtitles up so that they are in the picture area.
i want to do this for the main movie plus all the extras so i try to handle the VIDEO_TS.

after a few seconds, ffmpegx stops with an error, long before handling subtitles as far as i can see it. what am i doing wrong ?

DVD subtitles are images muxed with the video. Moving them is not simple and only possible in some cases (eg. the subpicture data has a background smaller than the video data). This feature is not currently supported in ffmpegX.

1. for windows i have a solution called DVD2SVCD: demux video audio subtitles, convert as needed, "burn" the subtitles into the picture. the problem is that it takes about 24 hours per movie, and my mac is so much faster.

2. looking back in the log above, i think that the problem there is, that when i select VIDEO_TS, only the first title gets processed, which is some logo without sound.

what is the right procedure to handle the complete DVD content when i don't need subtitles ?
