how come i cant read the subtitiles?

[daddynaz]

hello. i got a situation here.

see, i got this .avi file with subtitiles in it. i cant play at first because i dont have the codecs for it. i think it was the sound codec for vbr and acm. i got the virtualdub and fix that problem. so i decided to burn it into a cd, making it a vcd using tmpgnc. now this is my problem.

when i played it in a dvd player, the subtitiles are nearly gone and i can only see the upper half of the sentences making it harder for me to read. i tried to playing it in a vcd player but the same thing happens. i watched the new edited avi and the mpg of it in WMP and it's fine.

i wish i can send a pic of it but i cant, since i cant make a screen shot out of a dvd/vcd screen that easily.

can anybody help me with this, please?

i tried one of the suggestions by adjusting the advance settings to central custom mode but it didnt work.
