    I couldn’t solve this problem. I looked into a lot of forums, webpages but I didn’t find a solution to it. The only way I found to get the DVD edited was to use a different software for that particular job. I used DVD LAB, which worked perfectly. In my opinion ADobe Encore is a nice software for authoring DVD’s but it has several problems when working with subtitles. Sometimes it can be a nightmare. Once I had to redo a 2 hour subtitle line with three days aditional days of work! DVD is more stable than encore, but subtitle edition tool is not so good. Good look with your problem, I will recommend to stop loosing time trying to fix that problem and go with another software. There’s something that maybe could help you. The error message has to do with the video. You can try to use another video file (that you know is working ok) with similar duration and the DVD with that video and your subititles. Then use a subtititles ripping tool to extract that subtitles. Once you have the subs ripped you can use them to create the DVD with DVD LAB. That way you will save a lot of time. I hope this will help you

  • I don’t know, I’ll have to check it. If you were right, would it be anything I could do to solve it? If not, what else could I do. I’m thinking on trying another authoring software, hopefully it’ll work

  • Yeah! thanx a lot man! you really saved my life, I mean it. I’m so nervous about the festival, that I didn’t set the DVD to 16:9, quite obvious, but I passed over it. Thanks again and a hundred times thanks. I posted another problem I have with two movies (short films actually) that encore won’t let me create the DVD. It keeps saying that the mpeg file is not valid. I only extracted it directly from the original dvd and did no transcoding to it. I think there’s something wrong with the original file, but it could be something I’ve done (I don’t think so, ’cause I’d already created 25 movies for the event and only two of them are problematic)
