Two More Questions about Using Womble

Hi there, everyone.
So I successfully spliced together my first fan-edit, which was just a real basic "Phantom Menace" edit. Here are two of my questions. First, I seem to have lost the subtitles (for example when Greedo speaks after he fights Anakin). Anyone know how to keep them? Second, near the end of the movie everything got very pixelated and jerky. The disc looked flawless with no scratches or smudges. Could this have been caused during the encode of the movie? Any ideas on how to remedy this?
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

VOB files are MPEGs with a different file extension. Womble spits out the same kind of file you put in. You should be able to just drop it into whatever authoring program you're using.

Yeah Womble always removes all subtitles. I can't figure out how to keep them in, so I always just make my own.

two ways:
1a) Use SubRip to OCR the original subtitles into a text file
1b) Use Subtitle Workshop to convert them to .srt format
1c) Import the result into DVD-Lab Pro, and adjust as necessary.

2) Manually time them and type them in DVDLab Pro. This can be QUITE a pain, but it works.

In both cases, be prepared for SEVERAL muxes before it's lined up and ready. Subtitles are the biggest pain of all. Export your results into a text file and save it for future use if you reauthor again some day down the road.

Klokwerk linked to the wonderful DivXLand Media Subtitler in a thread I made about subtitling things and it's amazing. There's a video preview window, and a box to enter text in and when you want the subtitle to appear, while the video is playing, you hit the "apply" button and it writes the timecode for that subtitle. Then you can export it in any number of formats. The only problem I ran into was that since the video window is Windows Media Player, it wouldn't play MPEG2 for me properly, so I just converted what I was working with to a low-quality XviD file to work with and the subtitles I created sync up perfectly.
