XviD to SVCD with subs problem

[demon_]

Hey.. I converted a xvid to svcd this night, using DVD2SVCD. Before i clicked convert, i clicked conversion -> add external subtitles, and pointed at my SRC file. But i dont see the subs in the final mpg files.? Is it normal, will u only see them when playing bac on dvd? The SubLog files are also there. The info file is here :

Does your player support SVCD subs? Not many that do... And even fewer (if possible) software SVCD players. What did you play the mpeg with?

/Mats

Windows Media Player.. I didn't try on a normal DVD player.. So it's normal it doesn't works on software dvd players? Like Power DVD?

[Baldrick]

Windows Media Player.. I didn't try on a normal DVD player.. So it's normal it doesn't works on software dvd players? Like Power DVD?

Yes. No software player supports selectable svcd/cvd subtitles.

[demon_]

I just tried on a DVD player.. And they still don't show.. My m8 has also other SVCD movies, and they work with Subtitles.. So i must of done something wrong when muxing?? What can it be.. Maybe i should pick permanent subtitles instead of SVCD subtitles or what? Any ideas?

[mats.hogberg]

Yes, for any kind of compatibility, do permanent subs. The # of players that support selectable (SVCD/CVD subs is not that great...) The discs where the subs worked, was that with SVCD subs or permanent subs? Was it on the same player where your SVCD subs wont show?

/Mats

[demon_]

They havn't worked at all yet =).. So i need to encode the XviD from the beginning and do permanent subtitles () Or can i do it without encoding from the beginning? The SVCD movie is in 2mpg files, and the subtitles in 1 srt...

[mats.hogberg]

For permanent subs, recoding is unfortunately required...
