Did anyone figure out how to create compatible text scripts in order to be accepted by Adobe Encore DVD as a subtitle track? Or what program can create those from usual .sub, .srt, .txt files?
Thanx.

Hi, there.
Had the same problem so i made a small program that takes a SubRip.srt and convert it to something Encore understands. If you are interested you can DL it here:
http://forum.videohelp.com/images/guides/p647823/encoresubconvert.zip
It converts to Unicode in a crude way but it works. Linebreaks too. 
Remember to check your subs for overlapping timecodes AND any lines starting with a number, even if it is the second line.
Eg.
00:00:00:00 00:00:03:00 300 soldiers went away...
or
00:00:00:00 00:00:03:00 They take all of the|300 cookies...
will give you an error in Encore. Bad programming of a really good feature i guess. So fix these things before you import an things should work ok, at least it does with danish special characters.
Comments are welcome.
Happy authoring

Hmm, just testet Encore with a fullscale subtitle 
Killed it after 2,5 hours of working. Lots of disk activity, 100% CPU and 1,5 GB RAM used.
THIS SUCKS BIGTIME!!!
Anyone else experiencing this 
Don't know how long it would have taken to finish the job, but it's way too long for me. He, and i thought ReelDVD was slow....
Going to test FAB or Captions import before before giving up, hope that prerendered subs is a bit (lots) faster.

To lightfoot 86. Ya it takes forever. Try setting it up before you go to bed and let it run all night.

what? No man... it takes about 0.5 sec.
I have a AMD 2800+ with 526 MB RAM
Now the question is that if only importing your Subs takes the whole night then there is something diff wrong. Or do you ust import the AVI's as assets and run the Build DVD, cause then Encore would have encode your raw AVI to MPEG2 and also re-encode your audio.???
What seems to be problem?

See what line reference does it give you to. Then go to that line and check that the time given is not earlier than the previous times. Sometimes an error can occur. And then all the line numbers are in sequence so if you have a 200 after 365 then it will give you error, you need to correct the line number 200 to 366. I hope you got it!

or use Subtitle Workshop
and if you have Encore version 1.1
upgrade to version 1.5
version 1.1 its bugy and very very very slow with subtitles.
