Subtitles                        : Dutch



Due to an as yet unknown cause, MediaInfo does not show subtitles on some of my movies I encoded using AVCHDCoder. It occured with this AVCHD, unfortunately. Although subtitles are actually present, whatever is causing this issue is also causing some stand-alone players to not show subtitles. My apologies. I have included the original SRT with Dutch subtitles for those who might need it.


The subtitles are, by the way, included three times - they are exactly the same except from their relative on-screen position.



This AVCHD was not playtested to test for Cinavia DRM. However, as this movie was not released by Sony it should be free of Cinavia DRM.


Burn using Nero or any other DVD burning program which can handle the ISO image format.
