    Hi all, I was authoring a DVD project in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 and added some subtitles (SRT). When I did the simulation, the subtitles were left aligned and were really large. I went back to edit the subs and the font was set at Tahoma, size 10, center align. But it still looks large and is left-aligned in the preview and the simulation. Will it look like that on DVD as well?

    Also, due to the large size, the lines got cut off
    like this
    and the second line would continue like this.

    What would be a standard setting for font size?

    I use TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 and when I want to see how the DVD will look, I burn it to an DVD-RW to preview my project. I have never had a problem with adding subtitles.
    If it feels good, do it.

    I burned it onto DVD+RW to check and yes, the subs are just as large as in the simulation. I guess it's just a matter of changing the font size. Wondering why they have it set as default such a large font size. Thanks for the tips!
