So, first, thanks for your suggestions. There is no available firmware update for this Panasonic player. So, I opened the 58gb full iso in WinIso and located the stream folder and m2ts file that has the pgs subtitles and created an mkv file. I played this with the Leawo blu-ray player on my pc and the sub-titles played as they should and in the settings the sub-titles show as English. Perfect.
Then I created an mkv file with the DVDFab compressed BD50 iso using the same method and played this file (44gb) on Leawo and the sub-titles also played correctly but the player settings showed an unknown sub-title file. Because the compressed bd50 iso is what I burn to a Verbatim dual layer disc, I'm thinking the unknown sub-title isn't being recognized in the Panasonic stand alone player. Is there any settings I can change to get DVDFab to properly recognize the PGS English sub-titles during the full copy compression ? All I can deduce is that the problem arises somewhere in the compression process. Thanks

found this - ImgBurn doesn't directly handle PGS (Presentation Graphic Stream) subtitles. ImgBurn is a tool used to burn DVDs and Blu-rays, and it primarily focuses on the physical disc format, not the specific subtitle formats used within those discs.
To work with PGS subtitles, you'll typically need to use a program like HandBrake or other subtitle editing software to either convert PGS subtitles to a different format like SRT, or to burn them into a video file for playback. ImgBurn can then be used to burn the video file (which may include hard-burned subtitles) onto a disc.
