DVD-Lab & Subtitles

[zero_net]

I just created a DVD with subtitles. The problem is, when I playback on my DVD player the subtitles show only during certain scenes of the movie.

This is strange.

When I imported the subtitles all the correct text were there.

does it work okey with a software dvd player?

[awlchu]

I bet your subtitles crosses chapter boundaries. Or you added chapters that disected subtitles.

Illegal,

hmm. .. . I did add some manual chapters

that can effect it ?

i use windvd, it wont load audio tracks or subtitles for some reason .. .

Did you use dvd-lab or dvd-lab pro? Experts correct me if I am wrong, but dvd-lab does not support subtitles, dvd-lab pro does. Look here:

I just re-read your post and notice you already have some subs. Are these encoded onto the mpeg streams? and true sub-titles not showing up? Toggle subtitle button on dvd remote on/off and see if subs appear/disappear, or check mpeg streams for subs encoded to video(these can't be turned on/off). Otherwise I would go with awlchu's suggestion that they cross chapter boundaries, though I don't know why a chapter would be inserted in the middle of a sentence. Here is link to manual page for subs in dvd-lab pro;

You can try to re-author the project without the chapters and see if that helps. Otherwise wait for dvd-lab expert like reboot to see this post and help out.

I'm using the pro version, I have the SRT file.

I imported them, I did not merge them with the mpeg.

I added probably 2 chapters to the video.
I scrolled to the scene with the preveiw bar at the bodom right & clicked the + icon to add chapter.

I have a similar problem.

I have chapters imported from dvddecrypter and 2 subtitle streams created by import the srt file from subrip.

All the movie works fine excepts the subtitles. They aren't shown on the screen never, as if subtitles are off.

I use DVD-Lab Pro 1.0 trial.

[TaSMi]

I have recompile the dvd without chapter and have the same problem with subtitles

Could be the problem that have excesive subtitles? I have 1200 subtitles on the movie

[elios]

Are you using a beta version of DVDlabpro?
I had similar problems with beta10, but no more with final 1.0 release

[zero_net]

Which is the finally version.

i have 1.0

also, i did have multiple episodes on the disc, each episode i added subtitles

[TaSMi]

My problem was a error mine , DLP works ok.

Hey I was just curious... is there a way you can remove subtitles from a movie that is made with subtitles?

[zero_net]

only if there not imbedded.

[hazeleyedoreo]

Well how do I know if its imbedded... cuase to be honest it doesn't look like it is.

@zero_net
Try to re-author with GUIforDVDauthor. I am using it everytime to author with srt subs and have no a single problem.

@hazeleyedoreo
If you cannot switch the subs off, they are embeded (part of the video frame)

[zero_net]

hmm. never heard,

I'll give it a try.

You can remove embedded subs, but only by masking and re-encoding.
