Aside from that fact that this has nothing at all to do with the current post, and should have been a new topic, what did you actually do ?

You used convertxtodvd to add subtaitles to what ? What was your source ? Was it an avi file, a DVD ?
What settings did you use ?
How did you burn the disc ?

No details, no real answer.

Hi guys, first I rip Ip Man 2 dvd movie to the hard drive with my personal prefered dvdfab 2.9.6.8 then I used Clonedvd 2.9.2.7 to remove chinese audio, trailers and menus and create an ISO, later double click the ISO and virtual clone drive convert ISO to video folder VTS and then I use ConvertXtodvd 4.1.18.363 to load the files and ADD the spanish subtitle SRT using this parameters:

encoding options = SP it says up to 80 min but LP create a 2.1gb file instead of 4.07gb(SP)
target size change it fron 4300 to 4600 to rise that 4.07 to 4.36gb and avoid minimum compression
convertion priority = highest

all other settings at their default

and then later I take that video folder with clonedvd to produce final ISO.

The result is the same quality of the original dvd with the added subtitle, awsome, the ISO I right click and open with NERO BURNING ROOM and thas it.

The final dvd only freezes in my old Pioneer DV-414 which I use to monitoring dvd's if he plays it everybody plays it, in a Samsung that I also have it doesn't freeze.

Thanks

You have two major issues to start with.

1. The 414 is a very old model, so it cannot be considered a reliable test any more for burned DVDs. The laser is old and tired, and given the nature of burned DVDs, it is going to struggle to get a consistent read. If you are using quality media then it is a high probability that it is the player and not the disc that is at fault. Also, don't burn with the built in VSO burning engine - always use imgburn. I think your player is simply dying. I had a 414 which served me well for many years, but they do not last forever.

2. Your process sucks. Rip the disc as main movie only without the subs and audio that you don't want or need. DVD Fab can do this for you. Skip all the ISO/Virtual Drive bullshit, as it is a waste of time. Follow this guide by Baldrick to add your new subs to the existing disc structure. If, at this point, the results are too big to burn to a SL disc, use DVD Rebuilder to re-encode them to a suitable size, and burn the results with Imgburn. Simpler, more reliable, and will give you much better results.

Ok I did exactly as guns1inger wrote, rip it with dvdfab 0.17.0 on main movie, then follow this guide the guide by Baldrik using subtitle creator and the final folder was 4.7gb so I had to re-encode, first i used DVD Rebuilder but it took about 100 minutes to finish, then I use Clonedvd to make an ISO and it took 6 minutes and later burn the ISO with Nero and guess what, now it does not freezes even in my old Pioneer DV-414 .

Thanks !!

No you didn't. You made an ISO which was a complete waste of time, and you used Nero to burn instead of the superior ImgBurn he recommended. Glad you got it sorted out but follow directions next time.

[chickenwatt]

I keep all my movies in my hard drive in ISO because with a right click and open with nero I burn a movie in a hurry, by other side I have virtual clone drive installed so if you double click a movie ISO it mounts de video files and you can play the movie in the computer....is like puting the dvd on the dvd reader.

In other words I double click an ISO and 2 seconds later I choose windvd 9 in the autoplay, It seems very few people knows about the benefit of having the movie in ISO and have virtual clone drive installed.

Making the ISO with clonedvd takes only 2-6 minutes, thats nothing.

PS: I've never use ImgBurn, I'm going to use it next time
