This is probably a dumb question, but I haven't done this sort of thing before, so please bear with me.

I've recently started backing up my DVDs with DVD Shrink after my nephew started coming over more often. He loves to watch movies, but as you might expect with any seven-year-old, doesn't show much care in handling the discs.

I have some anime and foreign films I want to back up as well, but here's where I'm stumped. I know how to set the default audio and subpicture streams in DVD Shrink, but I don't have a DVD burner at the moment, so I'll sometimes watch what I back up on my computer (just renaming the .VOB files to .AVI). However, I can't figure out how to get the subtitles to come up (menus in Windows Media Player/Media Player Classic don't work).

Is there a way to "force" DVD Shrink to encode the DVDs with the subtitles on the screen already? Is there something obvious that I'm overlooking? Or can I only see the subtitles if I burn it on a DVD-R?

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Setting the default subtitle stream (in Re-author mode) and saving the backup as an ISO file, means that you can drag the ISO onto a media player like VLC and the subtitles turn on immediately - just like on a standalone player.
