I have exactly the same problem using VSO DivXtoDVD 2, it's a simple and efective tool for making personal DVD, but subtitles runs off screen in one line (if the subtitle has 2 lines, the bottom one almost disappears from the TV screen) i don't know how to fix this, or why is it happening, anybody please help us!!!

Could you please be more specific about it? i don't understand what you mean by "editeded the .txt and made spaces in the nessasary places"
I have my subtitles in SRT format, which i can edit easily as if they were TXT, but what kind of changes did you make to fix the problem?

As i mentioned earlier, i create and use subtitles in SRT format with DivX Media Subtitler, since they're more accepted than SSA or SUB, and it's easily to make a SRT subtitle from a TXT file; i'll try to explain my situation with the following example of a subtitle text:

There, that's better. Try to enjoy your birthday.

If i leave it as an one line subtitle, all the subtitle will appear almost at the edge of the bottom of my TV screen, but most of the time you need to divide it in half to make as an two line subtitle (probally that's what you mean by making spaces) since most of the time dialogues are extense, as ilustrated below...

There, that's better.
Try to enjoy your birthday.


... only the first line (There, that's better.) will appear on my TV screen, while the second line (Try to enjoy your birthday.) will be almost cut off from my TV screen, but the subtitle line is there (it's like the subtitle lines are placed too low on the screen) i have tried to find if there's a way to fix this throw DivX Media Subtitler or VSO DivXtoDVD 2, but i haven't found a solution... please help!
