    I want to burn anime but the problem is that when I burn them as VCDs or DVDs with Nero or my software (myDVD) it shows the subtitles half cut off since there's a safe TV zone. Can anyone help me burn DVDs or VCDs and be able to see the sub titles.

    How strange...Are you sure it's not a pal/ntsc thing ?

    I use tmpgenc with the directshow filter and they come out fine

    Go to the homepage on this site and look at the guides...There is a good one telling you how to burn dvd/vcd with subs...all the downloads you need are linked from there...Good luck..

    I burned voices of a distant star with it yesterday and it's excellent..follow the guide to the letter and you'll be ok

    the direct show filter is what burns the subs permanantly onto the disc..It will be mentioned in the guide..It's free but tmpgenc isn't...

    Are you encoding the films from avi ? or just ripping them from dvd..If you were more specific i might be able to help more

    Oh yea there's a problem that tutorial shows you how to add subs with the movie but the thing is the AVI itself contains the subs it's part of the picture it self :-/

    I'm sorry I don't understand that guide only shows how to add the .sub subs to the movie but the AVI I have has the subs as part of it, and it doesn't show on TV since TV usually cuts of the edges :-/

    Oh now i see...Lol it already has subs in..

    that's different..If it's cropping the top and bottom it must be the settings in whatever you're using to encode the film...Are you encoding ntsc from a pal source ? that would account for it...You'll just have to have a fiddle with the settings

    You could still try tmpgenc to encode the film..Most people on here use it and you might have more luck

    It's strange, i mean vcd format is 352x240 so how can it be off the edge of your t.v..

    Gotta be your software
