    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Copying DVDs - problem with the subtitles

I'm trying to backup a DVD using DVD Backup, DVD2one and Toast (like in the tutorial here).
Everything goes well except the subtitles - can't make them work. In DVD2one I've marked up the boxes to get the wanted subtitles (actually even double-clicked them to make them default) but still iDVD or my DVD-player won't show them - there just aren't subtitles. Everything else works fine.

You should probably copy the whole movie along with the Subtitles (default) instead of just "movie only"

But then again, I do beleive if you copy just the film only with subtitles to get the subtitles (using DVDPlayer click on Controls then Closed Captoning and turn them on.

I "think" that should work. Alson on a stand alone DVD Player usually on the remote there's a button that says "Subtitles" try hitting that button to see if they turn on.

Tried that - doesn't work either. It's just so odd, that in DVD2one I'm able to choose the subtitles I want, but they just don't work. It's the same on DVDPlayer and on my standalone DVD player.

Hi

Now I finally find out, what went wrong:
When burning the files in Toast (6 Titanium), I was using the Video -mode. Now I tred the Data -mode and all worked out just fine ;) It seems like when using the Video -mode in Toast it loses all data information.
