    HELLO
    I want to play movies on my Sony DVD player (USB port) that have been recorded on to an external HDD (fat32) using a cheap set top box (Teac).
    The subtitles are recorded perfectly by the set top box and do replay well but navigation (fast forward etc) is problematic on the set top box.
    The video files are M2TS and the DVD player has no problem playing the video but it cannot play the subtitles.
    I can extract the subtitles using CCExtractor and save them as .SRT
    I tried putting the sub (SRT) files in same folder as video but obviously DVD player does not recognize and no subtitles are reproduced.
    Maybe doing this is impossible but I was hoping some of you experts out there may be able to suggest a solution that would make it work.
    I know I can hot burn the subs using HandBrake but it takes so long to do each movie this way.
    Do I need to extract or convert the subs to a different format ?
    Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    Rob

    usually the best format for having subtitles play in limited devices is mp4/aac in an mkv container with srt subs.
