Ok, so I've been ripping this movie over and over and I can't seem to get the dang subtitles to appear when they speak mandarin(or whatever the hell it is that their speaking). Anways, I only need the subtitles that tranlate the foreign conversations.The dvd has two english subtitle options and i've tried both. I'm out of ideas and I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!

how are you playing the rip to test for subtitle display?

Does the original have "translation subtitles" when you watch it in your player?

Well I'm trying to rip the dvd so that I can watch it on my archos 605, but im using windows media player 11 to test it each time that I burn it. Oh, and there aren't any translation subtitle options.

By the way thanks for the wicked ast response. Ya'll are great!

Sorry I think that I misunderstood you. Yes, when I watch the dvd using windows media player, there are subtitles translating the foreign conversations and none for the english ones. That's pretty much how I want it. Any help is appreciated!

If you are trying to do a DVD to Mobile conversion for your 605, select the english subtitles and put a checkmark in the box that says "Display Only Forced Subpicture " (it's on the first screen, before you click Next).

How do I put a checkmark on that. There is no box next to that option just a dropdown list with only direct render to video in it. Am I missing something?

Wait a minute do you mean the box that says display only forced subpicture, I don't know why I didn't think of that before. I'm going to try it.(Oh and sorry for the repeated double posting)

never mind it didn't work

Sorry to hear that. If there is another set of english subtitles, select it and check the box again. You can only select ONE subpicture checkbox for "Direct Render to Video" to work (this option is set on the Configure page). If it takes some experimenting, try using the Advanced Title Setting
button to convert only one or two chapters for quicker testing.

Yeah, I'll keep working on it . Thanks for your help signals! If this doesn't work then I may have to find a torrent of it somewhere.Thanks again though!
