How do you all convert you Anime to DVD?

Hope this belongs here, was contemplating the anime board but settled for here.

The main reason I inquire is I'm curious about subtitles.

I use TMPGEnc Pro to convert than DVD Lab Pro to make the actual DVD, or just use Convert X To DVD 4 for formats other than avi. Both programs (dvdlab pro and Convert x) make their own subtitles from the subs that come with the files, and they're quite ugly compared to the subs that come with the anime. Leaves me wondering if this is the route others go, or if they use a superior program that handles subs in a much better way?

Another thing is dvd medium, is it common to try and fit 8-9 episodes on a DL dvd? Or do most people just watch these on their computers and not bother converting them to be watched on a dvd player?

Try the program DeVeDe, a friend of mine recommended it. It looks like it would work decently well.

More and more watches them on HDTV connected to a PC (technically that's watching on the comp, but not sitting at a desk). I myself gave up on storing "stuff" on DVD a couple of years ago, since HDDs are so cheap these days and are more convenient.

You could try re-encoding the videos files first to harcode all the subtitles, if the original subs are softsubs. That would guarantee that you'd get the same formats once you encode to DVD. I'm guessing that your subs are getting messed up because the DVD format can't handle text softsubs, so the programs convert the subs into something that the mpeg2/DVD format can handle.

Yea, something like that, but I only burn the stuff I can get in Dual Audio which I think might pose a problem to that solution.
