Hello all you people here, I've a problem with a DVD what I never seen before. It is a DVD with only one sound and one subtitel language (Dutch). On the DVD in the menu is only the optie to set the subs on or off. So far the DVD, and now my problem. When I run DVD2SVCD I can see the sub, only it say's unspecified. And whatever I tried it wouldn't muxed the sub on my files.

Thanks. Jan.

I had a similar problem. Mine was caused because my Y-POS was zero! You can check it in the preview. Cheers.

Thanks for your answer but no this was correct. In the preview mode there was either what I tried no sub to see, I think that it comes because in the language tab I select my language (Nederlands) it meens Dutch. But when I run DVD2SVCD it see not that language and say unspecified. tnx. Jan.

Hi 3S Doc, have you checked the BMPs (the extracted subs) with an image viewer? Are they really there - or are the subs just all plain black (the pics)? If so, just make sure to hit the "Next" button in the subtitle selction window until you can really see some sub pictures in the table - then hit "Ok". Hope this helps, Gerti

Ok, try and manual select the subs where it says unspecified. You can choose 1. Cheers

Hi Folks, yes I have tried that, and yes I have pics with subs. The only strange thing that I noticed was that normaly these pics are not so big as these. All the pics are now 480 x 574. Is this normal? I haven't seen this before. Greetz from the Dutch. Jan.

Hi, well it seems to me that noboddy has the right answer for me, I did try it now with DVDx and I made now an avi, with vdub I will make the sub in it and than I will try to run this avi in dvd2svcd so that I have my movie with perm subs. tnx all anyway. Jan.
