Subtitle nightmare

[willshakespeare]

To begin with I have purchased the Nero 8 suite last year, but have rarely used it because most of the AVIs MPGs and other type video I have play without alteration on my Archos.

Anyway, I have the movie The Forbidden Kingdom in AVI format, and it is great, except that the chinese bis are not subtitled, so you don't know hat's going on unless you speak chinese.

So, I downloaded the srt file for this movie I have, and spent ages editing the srt to get rid of the English Subtitles over English speaking parts, leaving only the subtitles for the Chinese bits.

I attempted to include the subtitles using Nero Recode 3, and it all looks like it is successful... I add the avi file, I add the subtitles, and in the subtitle edit window, when I play the file, the subtitles are there as required. However, when I click OK and then play the original file, there are no subs.

I tried just going ahead and burning to Nero Digital MPEG-2 format, and if you looka the properties of the file is does say it has Eglish subtitles included... but the don't show up when I play it.

What am I doing wrong? Can anyone please help? Are the subtitles there, but I need to use a player that can "see" them? If so, how can I hard-code them to stay in the movie MPEG or AVI?

Thanks in advance,

Will

PS - sorry ifthis is in the wrong area. I do plan to author this file with subs to a DVD for my collection.

Buy the DVD and you won't have to go through all of this pain.
