hi there. I've been trying to work this out for a long time, but to no avail:
I have a movie in an avi file which works perfectly on my dvd-player when I burn it on dvd. However, when I put subtitles on it (with submerge), the file changes in a .mov file, opens with quicktime, but when I burn it, my dvd-player won't read it. so, I tried toast, first with the divx option (took a million years to burn) and then with the dvd-video option. both times my dvd- and television-screen showed a movie horizontally the size of the screen, but vertically only 1 inch big, so not much to see. I also tried another option in toast, which also took forever, but unfortunately I forgot what I did, it was something like converting the .mov file into divx or something, anyway, that worked, but when I played in on dvd-player I got a distorted view, like it was HD playing on normal tv which gives you a headache.
also, when I use the export button and press the preview button just to check how the movie will turn out, toast crashes immediately.
what am I doing wrong? and can somebody give me advise on how to make the .mov file readable for my dvd-player? everything I've tried doesn't work, and I also found out that when I try in quicktime or even submerge to export the file to divx, the program suddenly stops.... is that a bug or do I sound stupid now? btw, I have a macbook pro
