im going crazy with subtitles!

i want to make subtitles fit on screen correctly and everytime i try it half of the fonts are off screen on the bottom

im using TMPGE program to convert avi to mpeg then burning it on dvd to watch!

is there anyway to make them fit perfectly using any settings i may need to know of?

thanks,

I recently encoded some AVI to dvd and got the same result. In my case I fixed it by choosing "Center (custom size)" for "video arrange method" and putting in the .AVI aspect ratio as the custom size. The subs no longer fell off the bottom of the screen. I'd suggest doing a
test burn of a small section of the video(chosen with the "source range" slider in TMPGEnc) to make sure it will work when played on your stand-alone. Also you can load your source video in FitCD and see what it suggests for size. It might says some stuff about adding black borders etc..

I've only tried this fix on one vid so far. I'm hoping it works as a general subtitle fix for .AVI to dvd encodes.

Just to clarify, to make sure you get the right numbers for resizing,
use FitCD and copy the numbers from "Resize" in the Destination area to the "Center(custom size)" setting in TMPGEnc.

Or save the AVISynth from FitCD and encode that in TMPGEnc. You will get faster encoding times since in my experience AVISynth is faster at resizing than TMPGEnc. Make sure that you convert to RGB2 at the end of the script. So:
avisource("whatever.avi")
lanczosresize()
addborders()
...
ConvertToRGB24()
