So, I ripped my copy of Kill Bill onto my mac using dvdbackup. the ripped version of the movie, played on my mac, has the subtitles with in the movie. When I then used dvd2onex to compress the ripped movie, and then burn it using toast, it did not have the subtitles when I played the movie on my dvd player.

I thought that I had checked the settings for subtitles. does anyone have a clue what I did wrong? Did I do anything wrong? Is there a way to insure I get the subtitles?...the movie is a bit more enjoyable with them...and sure..I have the original copy, but I'd rather just play a burned version...like I try to do with most my dvds....plus, I just like the software I have to work right..what's the point of burning a movie when you can't understand it at some points (japanses..I don't speak it)?
