My fiance bought a DVD movie from Yesasia called April Bride. Region 3 Hong Kong DVD. For those that are interested it is a chick flick.  

Here's the problem: on some DVD players (Pioneer 626D & Panasonic DMR-XW450) the english subtitles show up as chinese characters, but on the PC and on the Pioneer DVD Recorder (can't remember of the top of my head, but it's the last 250G model) the english subtitles show up with no problem.

It's hard to say if it's the disc or the dvd players/recorders, but I just want to be able to have some consistency and have the english subtitles display altogether!

Is there a solution for this problem?

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned (or can't watch her DVDs!) Help out a brother!

Thanks!

Have you tried manually selecting the various subtitles to see which works correctly for each player?

Yes I have.

I have tried:
- selecting various subtitles at the main menu screen (setup/subtitle options) before the movie starts
- selecting various subtitles as the movie is playing (pressing the subtitle button)

but no luck whatsoever on the problem DVD players.
