Favc

I was using FAVC to convert a 1080p video( MKV container) to a DVD 5 for my nephew. The conversion stripped off the english subtitles which was in the source . What did I do wrong? Tks

You must extract the subs and add manually in favc. Use mkvextract or mkvcleaver.

Or use AVStoDVD for conversion instead. FAVC hasn't been updated in quite some time

OK Understand. I was disappointed at the results. It took 4 hrs of conversion , then no subtitiles to a Tahi movie ! Yuks . Tks for the info.

Converting 1080 to DVD is going to cause a large and unavoidable drop in quality as well . . . . .

4 hours is probably not bad for your system.

I understand the drop in quality but he's not that fussy. I would not do it for myself, I would do it with 2 DVD's

I checked media info :

the video stream is AVC
Audio stream is DTS
text stream is UTF-8.

After I ran AVS2DVD , there was only video , no audio and no subtitles ??

I had Audio Stream set to Auto , maybe I should set it to AC3 since software cannot handle DTS.

Did I do something wrong in the settings?

When I reloaded the file again then opened Title Edit , indeed there was no subtitle present. Maybe it does not recognize the UTF-8 stream? I ran the search and indeed there was no text in the search screen .

Maybe I just have to extract the subtitle stream ( with subtitle rip ) or try and use DVDFlick instead.

Definitely need help on this clip.

I extracted the subtitle and added it to FAVC . After completion, I ran the movie , under subtitles it says there's track 1 but I can't see it. Can it be the color of the subtitle ? Are subtitles defaulted to white ? Tks

Did you try pressing the Subtitle/Subtitles button on your remote?

[sportflyer]

Yes , I did that as well. No subs show. I finally gave up and redid the whole conversion process using the extracted srt sub and DVDFLICK . This worked like a charm.
