What method in that guide? Just subtitle creator or the pgcdemux,muxman,vobblanker?
Does the original dvd contain any subitles before you added the sub?
I guess you tried enable the subtitle with your remote control?

So, the original DVD had 2 languages of subs, but you removed both and replaced them with the one you made. Is that right? OK, let's work with just the Muxman authored DVD, before you did the replace step in VobBlanker. When you play it on the computer using PowerDVD or whatever, do you see the subs? Don't worry about the colors. Do you see the subs, making sure to have them turned on in the player? If not, open the VOBs in DVDSubEdit. Now do you see them when scrolling around? Maybe they're just too low on the screen and by moving them up using the Subpic Vertical Position slider they come into view again? Or maybe they're invisible and you have to play with the Subpic Color/Transparency slider.

If you don't see any subs in the Muxman authored DVD, then they never made it into the DVD. Do you have the log for that mux? You can find it in the root of the C drive. It should tell you if it added subs or not. Perhaps you added them into Muxman incorrectly, or maybe there's something wrong with the subs you created.

Oh, sorry, you said they played on the computer OK in the first post. I think I remember a similar problem to yours recently. Is this a 16:9 DVD? And when adding the subs when authoring the DVD with Muxman, did you add your subs twice? You have to do that for 16:9 DVDs, where 4:3 DVDs have each sub added only once. That is, when making a 16:9 DVD, each subtitle language (called a stream), must have 2 tracks, one for when the DVD is played on a 16:9 TV set and the other when played on a 4:3 TV set. It can be the same track loaded twice, but there must be 2 of them. Muxman will warn you if you didn't load 2 tracks. Do you still have the Muxman log? It should say something about that if you did it wrong.

this afretnoon i do a new dvd.in muxman i have to put twice?and in a subtotilte creator where is the correct image position to put sub?

manono i sent a mp to you with log

Thanks for the PM. I got the log, but it doesn't show for sure if you did something wrong or not. There are 2 ways to get the subs into the DVD using Muxman, and your log shows one of the right ways (maybe).

I'll assume you have a 16:9 DVD (you didn't confirm that when I asked last time), and I'll also assume you're watching on a regular old interlaced CRT television. I'd bet that if you took the DVD to a friend's house with a widescreen HDTV, the subs would play fine. Sometimes retail DVDs will have one set of subs for a 16:9 TV set and a different set of subs for a 4:3 TV set and you load them separately, into 2 different streams. If you were to open a VOB in DVDSubEdit, in the upper-right corner in the Subpic Selection box, and opened the dropdown box you'd see this:



You get that by loading one subtitle and hitting "Wide", and then ticking "2", loading the 2nd stream and hitting "LB". It doesn't matter if they're 2 different tracks or the same track loaded twice. I suspect that you kept the default "Wide" for both of yours, which is where the problem is, because you have no "LB" stream for your 4:3 TV set. You can then select the "WS" or "LB" track and over on the left side of DVDSubEdit, also select "16:9 Widescreen" or "16:9 Letterbox" and scroll around to make sure the subs look OK.

The more common way, when there's only one track for a 16:9 DVD (as in your case), is to load the sub and then hit both the "Wide" followed by the "LB" buttons. That loads the subtitle you made twice. When you open a VOB in DVDSubEdit, you'll get this:




And your log will look like this:

MuxMan version 0.15R
Accepted video C:\Path\To\VideoFile.m2v size = 3491548026
Accepted audio C:\Path\To\AudioFile_80.ac3
Opened sub 1 file C:\Path\To\Subpictures_20.sup.

14:35:29 Begin multiplex VTS01.
Title Segment List
Segment_1
Encoded stream 20 is script stream 1.

So, my first suggestion is to open one of your VOBs in DVDSubEdit and see if the Subpic Selection looks like one of those pics. I'm guessing you don't have any "LB" track on your DVD. Then redo the Muxman part to make it like one of the pics, probably the second one.
