I used the program recommended by this guide http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/157/59/ to extract my subtitles from an .mkv file. However, when trying to add them to my project (as described in this guide http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/158/59/) using ConvertXtoDVD, the program says that it skipped the subtitles because they were empty. The subtitles, I believe, are in the .ass configuration. I then downloaded SubtitleWorkshop and saved the files in the .srt configuration. Then, adding the subtitles in using ConvertXtoDVD there were no warning or error messages; however, the subtitles still do not appear on my tv when I try to play a dvd I created.

In the first guide http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/157/59/ there was a comment as shown below:

I just tried the method described above and it did NOT work for me. I also tried several MKV tools but none of them worked either. Then I upgraded VirtualDubMod to its latest version, dowloaded the Haali MKV Splitter, and created an AVS Script with the next command: DirectShowSource("source.mkv"). I opened it with VDubMod and now I can convert to AVI with any codec prefered. To extract the audio you have to open the MKV file itself.



I tried to do everything in this comment and I got as far as downloading the Haali MKV Splitter. I do not understand how or where to create a "an AVS Script with the next command: DirectShowSource("source.mkv")". Nor do I understand the rest of the instructions after that point.

Am I going about this the right way? Am I doing something wrong in SubtitleWorkshop? How do I get my MKV subtitles to appear on my DVD?

Didn't think to try the remote mainly because the first time I did something like this it worked and I had no need to try the remote, I'll try it forth with and get back to you!
