I'm using DVD Flick to burn English and Japanese subtitles (.srt) to avi movies to create DVDs playable on standard DVD players. The encoding part is fine, but every time it gets to the ImgBurn, the operation aborts if there is Japanese subtitle present. But that's OK, I open up ImgBurn and burn the encoded Video_TS file to the DVD.
This method works fine when there is only English subtitles OR Japanese ones, but when both are present, the disc does some weird things. On the players on the computer, the disc will play Japanese subtitle even when the English subtitle is selected. Sometimes some English sound effects come through, but only because those aren't included in the Japanese subtitle file (so I have reason to suspect the two are somehow merged). The Japanese option does appear under subtitles but is darkened so you can't select it.
When played on a standard DVD player, the movie shows English subtitles and doesn't show options for any other subtitles.
I want multiple selectable subtitles, playable across the board.
It's driving me a bit crazy, so thank you for reading and offering any help.
try using convertxtodvd. its an excellent program that will take any video convert it and burn it to dvd. you can also add subtitles. so far everytime i burned two subtitles it worked fine on the dvd. the program though isnt free.
