Hi Chickenman, used your great DVD2SVCD with CCE tutorial for DVD conversion and was very impressed with the results. Only minor problem is when i play the DVD on my standalone the subtitles are on by default whereas i would prefer them to be off by default. Wondered if you had any ideas about this. I did see a tutorial at doom9 using ifoedit but it didnt work for me. By the way i re authored the DVD with DVDmaestro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just poped in from my holidays.

The default settings in Maestro is not to turn on the Subtitle stream so unless you turned them on, they should not be on during playback. However, some DVD players will turn them on depending on how the DVDR was burnt. Whats software and version are you using to burn them with? If Nero 6.x then I strongly suggest using Nero 5.5.10.54 and follow the Tute 100%.

Thanx for the reply mate. Have to admit i did use nero 6.0.0.0, seems strange how that could affect subtitles though because otherwise the burn was good. Could i use recordnow max as per tutorial instead of looking for older nero? Also i dont believe i altered any default settings in dvdmaestro but could you tell me how to check if i turned subtitles on by default?

Many thanks, adyf.

In Maestro, right click on the Untitled1 Project in top left hand window. You will see initial stream settings should be all unticked. You could actually try ticking Set Subtitles To and select OFF. Also, the line/window you loaded the Subs into, dont click the button to that lines left, if the button is Pink in colour then its the default Subtitle and it will be turned on.

I havent tried the latest Nero 6.3.0.x yet but it claims to have fixed the Video-DVD writting, what ever that means ?!?!?!?!

If I make a backup of a DVD5 using DVD DEcrypter in ISO mode and burn back with DVD Decrypter, my DVD Player will show subtitles when the movie plays but does not with the original. If I backup the same dvd but in FILE mode and burn with Nero 5.5 and I get no subtitles showing automatically, exactly as the original. So different burning programs can/does influence the playback.

As for RNM, ver 4.50 and 4.6x work quite well for me also but not for everyone. Nero 5.5 still has the best overall dvd player compatability as far as my experience goes.
