Problem: authoring w/subs

[maumastoks]

What happens: when I play my authorized DVD (and burned) on DVD player the subtitles don't appear.
More details: this DVD has original (chinese) subtitles and my-made english subtitles.
When played on DVD player and chinese subtitles are chosen, they're visible. If I choose english ones, they do not appear.
Programs used:
For translating - Aegisub v2.00 (I just took already made subtitles from .mkv file and re-timed them + deleted unnecessary). After this program, the file was .ass

Then converted into .srt using Subtitle Workshop v2.51
http://www.mediafire.com/?yjhhyjdriem
After that converted into .sup using SubtitleCreator v2.2
http://www.mediafire.com/?zyi53jtq5ml
Then in the same SubtitleCreator Tools -> DVD Authoring Wizard (together with PgcDemux, MuxMan and IfoEdit). All files selected correctly, authored without any errors.

ScreenShots made while played on PC with Windows Media Player: (I have other programs - VLC, PowerDVD, KMP but in this one it looks the best)
1) menu: http://i40.tinypic.com/hvscxw.jpg
2) selected "Play" the main file: http://i43.tinypic.com/1jqlqt.jpg
When played on PC, it plays normally. If on DVD, nothing appears (only original chinese)

So I need help: what to do to make them appear?

Offhand, I would guess it is a text encoding issue, in which the Chinese character-set is still loaded from the original subtitle file. So, when you type in Roman characters for the English words, they are replaced with a corresponding Chinese symbol. Make sure your text encoding is set for ISO-8859-1.

I could be wrong about that, but from you're description, that is what it sounds like.

When played on PC, the English subtitles are visible and normal.
When played on DVD, the English subtitles are invisible. And the text doesn't become chinese/random symbols. They just don't appear at all.

+ The same happens with other DVD, that has no original subtitles. I just made English ones for it. The same happens - the subtitles don't appear.

Ah -- I wasn't clear on that. Well, if the English subs can be seen on PC, it may just be an issue with your DVD player. I have an old DVD unit that won't play subs unless you specifically select those subs on its remote.

See if the subs show on a different DVD player.
