    I had the same problems and even bigger with my TV remote (opening tray, stopping play...) until I installed FW version 4. Now all the problems with remote are gone. I still have other issues but in general it works fine for me now.

    how to convert subs to srt format with vobsub.

    1. obviously install vobsub !!
    2. go to start, programs, vobsub, subresync and open up;
    3. choose option that says "open" and chosse the subs file.
    4. choose save as and select the first option "subripper" srt.
    5 a box now appears and you have to change the sub text to srt text. basically all you do is use your keyboard to select the appropriate letter (upper and lower case) along with full stops, exclamataion marks etc.
    6. once you have typed the letter once it automatically changes all of these letters in the subtitles. in short the whole process should take you about 5 minutes tops.
    7. come out of vobsub and that is you.
    8. go into the folder/file where you saved the amended subs and rename this to the exact name as the avi file (but change the file extension). use your mouse to click on the file and then right click and choose "rename".
    9. for example openwater.rip.avi would become openwater.rip.srt
    10. its easier than it sounds - honestly if i can do it anyone can.

    good luck - any problems let me know and i will try my best to help.

    Hi All!

    What is a solution that this player will show more than 60 characters/symbols in SRT Subtitles?!?

    I found something, that is called Modify SRT, but it seems, that it doesn't work :(

    So any clues?!?

    Will this be fixed in FW v5?

    Ive found DVX6600v5 FW on the net, and here is a link, for that post.
    http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/932343/last

    So should we try it, before it's released or should we wait until release?!?
    What could go wrong if it isn't the right one?!? Could we install v4 again?!?

    Thank you!

    Hi All!

    Does anyone know how to make larger FONTS on SRT Subtitles, that they will be shown larger on DVX-6600?!?

    Thank you!

    SC64,

    but for some strange reasons these SRT subtitles (got using VobSub) don't work on my player...
    Thanks anyway, for your kind answer.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    has anyone tried playing files encoded with newest XViD codec builds - XViD 1.0 and above? Can the yamada dvx 6600 handle them or we have to wait for a firmware upgrade?

    Any feedback appreciated.

    Use program called DirectSub. It is able to center texts.

    I just (today, 26th Sept) did the firmware upgrade, method and results as follows-

    Burned closed session cd from iso
    went into DVD setup, made note of settings
    put disc in & pressed play
    took disc out when told to do so (left tray open)
    went away for 5 minutes- came back to find Yamada welcome screen
    closed tray
    went into setup, selected default (last menu, at the bottom)
    went into setup, selected default (last menu, at the bottom)- OK, I'm paranoid
    switched off TV and DVD player
    switched on TV
    switched on DVD player
    went into setup, changed known settings to what they were before.



    R1 DVD ... passed
    R2 DVD ... passed
    Badly made mpeg2 avi ... passed
    MP3 128 cbr .... passed
    Divx5 & vbr MP3 ... passed
    Divx5 & vbr MP3 & srt subs ... passed
    Xvid & vbr mp3 ... passed
    Anything in OGM container ... doesn't play

    Hi!

    How can I use more than one subtitle for one movie? I mean i have english and german subtitle for the same movie, and i'd like to switch between them by using the "Subtitle" button on my remote controller.
    Please help me.

    Thanx!
    tz

    please tell me does this dvd-divx player playes divx/xvid with ac3 tracks because i read somewhere on the net that it does not. and also does subtitles look ok with the last firmwares. this is a little hard to explain. are they souraunded with black color so you can read when the scene is something white because i heard that wasn't the case before so it was hard to read. thanks.

    geronimo, the player plays fine in every ac3 divx/xvid i have played and that covers around 40/50 ac3 audio files. the subtitle support could be better but it plays fine in most cases. the odd letter is missed now and then but ok. havent experienced any problems with background colours preventing you from reading so cant confirm or deny.

    I've got exactly the same problem. Previous TV shows of the same titles have been fine until recently.

    I defragged the hard drive, reinstalled and tried other codecs and Nero but still no luck. The picture is jerky like a dodgy vcd!

    Yamada seems to have messed up with the firmware and to add insult to injury they are releasing the next model up!

    Seems the 6600 might as well be useless compared to a TV out card on the PC. Now where's that S-video lead...
