"Rikter" They way you record Closed Caption subtitles. Is with a DVD recorder or VCR. So far there is no PC capture card that can record them with the MPEG 2. ATI AIW can capture them to a text file but not in the MPEG 2. Closed Caption is in the picture not the audio. One reason I think PC capture cards are not that good is that they do not line up the picture just right. I have found this when playing back my files with PowerDVD.

As for the audio its 256 kbps DD 2.0

I also want to update that when join two MPEG 2 files with MPEG2VCR there is a lock up on old DVD players. Very old DVD player. I have one of the first Sony DVD players. it has also had problems with Lord Of the Rings the real copy not the back up. I have test my back up of Star Wars on APEX Panasonic Playstation 2 and Pioneer no problems. I did a test on another sony player a newer one about a year or two old after the second break you see some green blocks. Seems funny that Sonys Playstation 2 did a better job then a stand alone sony DVD player. So the only problem that really big is my old six or seven year old sony DVD player.

Also I did make a back up set with my Panasonic E80 using FR mode this set was made about a year ago this set has no problems with play back on my Sony DVD player.

I will rate my SP copies If laser Disc copies are a 10 then my SP copy would be a 9.5 my FR mode copies would be 9.3

Yes the Sp copies are little better but after watching them again and taken a second look FR copy is very close second. But if you are going to make a FR copy and dub down do it in the one hour mode XP.
