SVCD or CVD subtitle option on dvd2svcd???

use whichever one (if any) work with your standalone dvd player. See DVD2SVCD Quick Guide and FAQ or vcdhelp.com dvd compatibility list

CVD subtitles tend to be compatible with a greater majority of DVD players, especially the ones manufactured in China.

ok thanks.... so I know that form checking VCDhelp my player is meant to do both, but as most compatability seems to be in CVD subtitles I'll do it as them in case I have to replace dvd in future. So how much space on a cd does the subtitle track tend to take up then, does it take up only a tiny amount so it wont affect too much the amount I want to fit on each cd? And lastly, do those subtitles that use pictures, such as the Ghostbusters or Monty Python Holy Grail dvd subtitles rip and work ok if anyone has ever tested them?? cheers for the help you've already given me

About compatibility: You could also actually verify whether your player supports CVD and/or SVCD subtitles. Download one or more of the test samples on and/or on . Burn them on a cdrw and you can tell yourself whether and what type of subtitles are supported. The user reports on vcdhelp are sometimes contradictory and confusing, especially when they talk about svcd subtitles (sometimes they mean subtitles when playing svcd, sometimes svcd style (or Philips) subtitles). Like this you can avoid a lot of frustation and waste of time. About resolution: It's not a matter of different resolutions, but of different standards. CVD and SVCD differ in resolution, not CVD style and SVCD style subtitles. About mixing: You can use CVD and SVCD style subtitles on SVCD. If your player supports it, you can even mix them on one disk (but you can not use dvd2svcd for this). I'm not sure about CVD disks. But of course: use what your player supports. coolejo About size: They are not to big. Let dvd2svcd take care of this. Up to now I didn't experience any problems with this. coolejo
