I can't create a dvd disk with subtitles - Error 84 - 4.16.0

[rat race]

Hello,

i have a 32bit, debian 10.6, xfce system. I tried with version 4.8.0.1 of devedeNG to create a dvd disk with subtitles, so that i will be able to play it in my home dvd player.

Unfortunately when i previewed the video it wouldn't complete the process "There was an error while creating disk".

I installed the latest version of the program (4.16.0) but the problem remains.

If i preview the movie without subtitles there is no problem, but if i add subtitle files  (.srt) then the preview doesn't work and the procedure is not completed. I have the same problem if i try to create the dvd disk without previewing it first. At the end the procedure is not completed.

The debugging informations are,

The result, that i'm describing above, is when i'm trying with the version 4.16.0, that i installed in my system.

[Sergio Costas]

Oh, sorry... I just read the first part.

Ok, it seems that your subtitles aren't in UTF-8. You must set the right encoding when adding them.

Thank you for your help. It seems that this was the problem.

Now before i choose the encoding type for subtitles file, i check it with the command

file -bi [filename]
