You have really odd setup.

14:10:05.454 Info User OS: Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (Build 2600: Service Pack 3)

Win XP Home can't use more than 4GB RAM but you have 22GB according to log.

Anyway, Win XP is not supported anymore so there is no guarantee that any ...

Post conversion or error log please.

If your player is very picky then yes, use 720p
540p is not standard on DVD or BR.

Your original is not complying to BR standards. There is no 540p.
ConvertXtoHD is correctly converting to PAL frame rate when output is 576p

All the original DVDs I have show perfect subtitles in the TV.

Yes, they are designed to be used in DVD. Commercial DVDs usually have subtitles as "subpictures" that are ovelayed on top so they have minimal distortion.

If I just play the MP4 with the .srt files in an USB in the TV, they are ...

If you are checking subtitles on computer then usually your screen has much better resolution than DVD and players on PC smooth subtitles.
Any computer now has at least 1366 pixels wide screen but DVD has only 720 pixels.
Careful selecting on font and size might give slightly better result but ...

Yes, you are missing current technology.
XP is ancient history, Win7 has not been supported or updated by Microsoft for years.

What happens when you try to burn?
Log shows that internal D: has a dvd+r and external F: is empty.

On computer file is usually played at fps that is was created to be played and player checks that frames are played on correctly.
On DVD it is played according equipment specification, and that might be totally different, causing small drifting (23.97 vs 24 for example)

In most cases problem is due different framerates.
Every second timing of subtitles drifts more off when this is the case.

If they "jump" off and then stay same amount off then those subtitles are for different version or video file has been edited.

That is not the standard way to play DVD. What are you using to play DVDs?
Standard is very simple, if you remove DVD from player or press STOP then you go to main menu or first title and start playback from there.

You should have them correct the way you have them. But do you have main menu?
From there you should be able to select which one to watch.
If there is no main menu then it is play from beginning, one after another. Stopping at any point forces back to first title.

This is not so simple.

First your DVD player has settings on how to play/stop/continue etc.
Then you can create DVD that has no menu, only one or multiple titles. Those can not be selected to play in any other way than continuous play.
If you stop that in any stage then it goes to start again.
You ...

Yes, it is compliant. But it is split.
DVD video has different frames, some are needed for keeping sync etc.
You can't just copy paste together those split files. You need to create needed frames and sync data. That forces re-encoding.

Video in DVD is in .vob files, each have 0.99Gb. So any movie is in several pieces.
How do you suppose authoring without re-encoding? Just copy/paste?

Found this:
DTS-HD Master Audio may be transported to AV receivers in 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channels
and
DTS-HD Master Audio, previously known as DTS++, is the second of two DTS-HD audio formats. It supports a virtually unlimited number of surround sound channels, can deliver audio quality at bit rates ...

Spammers are active again, everyday a few are trying.
You may have noticed postings on old topics or simple "nice information, thank you" style.
I have checked everyone and last two weeks all of them were spammers from India IP address and are reported as spammers so I delete them.

I've got another TV series with (I assume) hardcoded subtitles (no separate srt file)

Without more details there can be no definite answer.
You need to find out what kind of subtitles are those, and of course what type of video is in that file.
If those subtitles are NOT in converted file then ...
