ConvertXtoDVD Issue.

[Quiksilver]

So I'm trying to burn Eden of the East to DVD so I may watch it on my TV(and let a friend watch it sames he doesn't have a computer) but I cannot get the subtitles to display correctly on the TV.

When I play the DVD on my TV the subtitles are cut off (eg. If the subtitles are more than one line the second line doesn't display at all as it's off screen, and if the line is long either whole words are cut off or partial words are.)

I've tried changing the font rendering in convertxtodvd but it doesn't help.

Now the source files are mkv files with 2 subtitle streams, with ASS and SRT internal subtitles, I've tried burning either or doesn't change the outcome.

So, I'm thinking I am going to extract the SRT subtitles and see if it work properly then.

Would that work? or Does someone have a solution to this?

If it helps here's all the source file information from the first episode...

I use ConvertXtoDVD as well but I haven't come across this issue. I did a google search and looks like you might want to read these 3 relevant links I found, and see if the steps mentioned there resolves the problem:

I hope this helps.... 🙂

2 of those links are related to SSA/ASS subs of which I already read. The other really doesn't explain the issue...

Doesn't matter anyway, I gave another program I had tried a long time ago (DVDFlick ---Back then it had stuttering issues, it seems to be fixed now) ago and it worked so it's all good.
