I am trying to convert mkv files, which contain xvid encoded video and ac3 audio. I have tried Convertxtodvd 3 which converts but loses the subtitle styling, in other words it makes the subtitles ugly and blocky. I also tried winavi, which seems to work and for some of the files it maintains the styling, yet after a few episodes of the show I am converting, the srt files disappear and only .ass files are left, however this is okay since the .ass files are the ones that are styled as I like them. However when I convert the later episodes I get horrible ugly subtitles on a winavi converted file. Is there any way to retain the styling and convert the video to dvd format for burning?

Doesn't ConvertXtoDVD have subtitle settings? I think you set the style you want.

My problem is not that the subtitles can't be encoded into the dvd file, but that I cannot maintain the original font found on the files. When I encode the firt few episodes of the tv show it maintains the subtitles just fine with full styling, yet a few episodes later and the subtitles come out looking like the picture on the right of the link. I suppose after you mentioned the ability to control the font type my question then becomes, what font type and setup was used for the font I showed. Either way I have to wonder why the earlier files can be encoded with the proper format but the others cannot.
