problem with external subtitles & DVD

[hector2]

Same problem as here.
When I drag and drop a *.srt subtitle when reading a DVD, it does not appear : (in fact it appears after 1 hour 30 elapsed in the movie... strange...)
This subtitle perfectly works with a divx. The subtitle encoding is utf8 and i precised in the VLC preferences utf8.
Thanks !

The SRT file timestamps are not consistent with those in the DVD. That's not going to work.

Thanks for your answer. Does it mean that an external subtitle will never work with a DVD or that sometimes it can not work ?
Thanks

In theory, it could be made to work on a per-DVD basis.
