In another thread I posted a few days ago, I bought a portable DVD player and wanted to use that to watch my anime episodes ... most of my anime episodes are download in AVI, rmbv and mkv format and usually burned into a DVD data disc ... I wanted to convert my animes into a DVD format (vob) so that I can play it with my portbale DVD player ...

I got a warez program ConvertXtoDVD which was very nice ... it can convert all formats (avi, rmvb and mkv) into DVD ... not only that but it can fit all episodes of a series in one DVD with some loss of video quality, of course ...

My problem was in converting mkv to DVD format, the subtitles are lost in conversion ... it was just so lucky that the first series that I converted was Kare Kano which I downloaded from nit3-senpai's sharefolder ... all episodes were in mkv format with subtitles and dual audio (meaning japanese dub and english dub) ... when I converted this series, the subtitles were lost, but I can still watch it because I can select audio into either English or Japanese (although I did not like the English dub because I thought the girl's voice was a little too flirty while the guy's voice was too mature and serious)

I experimented with another anime episode in mkv format with no English audio and converted it into dvd with the same results ... no subtitles and with Japanese audio (which of course I did not understand) ... I tried to experiment in another way, I converted the mkv into AVI format first before converting it to DVD format ... but also with the same result: no subtitle and with japanese audio, so I still cannot understand it ...

Has anyone tried converting mkv into another format? How did you retain the subtitles? ... *waving at BlackBlade* ... if anyone can help ... onegai?

PS. sorry for the long read .... hehehehehehe
