DVD subtitles

[baza02]

Hi,

have encore 1.5 and i always get at least one frame gap between any subtitles.

For example, if the first subtitle ends with 00:00:15:10 and where the next subtitle will already start with 00:00:15:10, there is never smooth playing in preview monitor or completed DVD. Always a small gap.

I'm doing a karaoke DVD and smooth playback of titles is important.

I'm using import image script in encore, in timeline ther's no gaps.
Is this Encore bug or i missed something?

Thanx.

Hey no answers?
Can i do smooth subtitles (without gaps) in any other DVD authoring program?
Please don't say it can be done only in Scenarist...

I think really smooth subtitles for karaoke purposes can only be done by hardcoding them into the videostream. The timing precision for 'normal' subtitles is not that good (~ 0.2 sec) and also depends on the player...

You could try a combination of :

Visualsubsync for sub creation and exact timing's
Txt2sup to convert to ifoedit format .
Ifoedit to mux m2v , ac3 , and sup into vob title .

It should be more acurate than any other way .
