What ho one and all,

I saved a French language film from a web site and found the relevant sub-titles. Using one of the various media players I have installed , I can watch the film with sub-titles.

Since a neighbour previously gave me the book, I thought it would be nice to burn the film to a DVD for her. Have managed to run the film and (apparently) embedded sub-titles, so all should be hunky dory.

But when I try to play the DVD, with some of my media players, the sub-titles do not appear. Media Player Classic; no / MPC-HC; yes / PotPlayer; no / VLC; no.

It is as if the sub-titles have not been embedded, but how come they do display with one player? What have I done wrong (if anything?)

Thanks

Rex
