(Has any one tested the DVDA2 Projects with subtitles, on other set-top players than from Sony? like a Philips set-top?)

Hi,

I have made many threads here asking why my DVD's with subtitles created with DVDA 2 don't play on my "Philips DVD 751" Set-top player.
On my Sony set-top it does play.

At first I thought that that it had something to do with my DVDA2 Project.

But I have test burned the " DVD Architect Project for Test Burning"
From the Sony site, and it shows the same problem!

The subtitle does not go further that "going home" music and video plays on.

Am I going to make about 500 copies of my DVDA 2 project
and 80% of my clients have a Philips set-top player.
So if the DVD doesn’t play on set-top’s other than a "Sony player" I am in big trouble!

So I asked the Sony support team.


Have you tried playing " DVD Architect Project for Test Burning” on a Philips set-top player?


[SONY]
No, I haven't. I'll give that a try.
Thanks,


Some days later I asked again:
Have you tested the DVD on a Philips DVD Player?

If so should I wait for a DVDA 2 Update?

Or do you think that this problem will not occur on other Philips DVD Player models?

[Sony]
We currently don't have a Philips DVD player but we are working on getting one. Sorry but it's unlikely a fix for this will make it into the DVDA2 update.


As you see I find this very strange.
I can’t imagine that a big company like Sony does not test its products on other company products.
Anyway I am not getting anywhere with this problem,
I wonder why that the subtitles works on one model and not on other.
I thought that the subtitle system would be a kind of a “Standard”.
Because Philips and Sony has worked together to create the DVD Standard.

Has any one tested the DVDA2 Projects with subtitles, on other set-top players than from Sony? like a Philips set-top?

Thanks,
Vighnesh.
