Hi-

You didn't say how you converted. Did you play the DVD to see if it has subtitles?

IDX/SUB files are unuseable in a DVD. If you don't already have subs in the DVD, convert those IDX/SUB files into SUP format DVD Subtitles using SubToSup, and then reauthor with something that takes SUP files as input, such as IFOEdit or Muxman.

Here's a guide for authoring with IFOEdit:

Start about half way down, where it begins "Then select Author new DVD from the DVD Author menu. "

I don't know what TDA accepts, as I don't use it.
