    Hello all,

    I have an avi clip just over five minutes long. I'd like to add unicode subtitles, similar to the Ethiopic characters you find at:

    http://www.amharicdictionary.com

    I don't mind if the subtitles are 'burned in' to the video - it's a quick and dirty job I'm doing.

    I tried Ulead VideoStudio 11, but pasting the characters gives gibberish, and I can't type in it using Tavultesoft Keyman, my method of entry.

    Any suggestions for an easy way to add such subtitles?

    Thanks.

    You can use VSFilter + VirtualDub to get permanent subtitles,
    or MaestroSBT to produce DVD-compliant subtitle pics from .SSA files.
    Search this forum with some more attention and you will find
    more details about non-ASCII subtitles.

    P.S.: I'd like to say a big fat <ROT-13>SHPX BSS NAQ QVR!</ROT-13>
    to all webdesigners who like to believe their pseudo~UTF-8/Unicode HTML files
    are 100%~OK only because the non~W3C-compliant wannabe browser
    is able to display them correctly.

    Thanks for the reply.

    But I need to make .ssa files, and I've tried a couple of tools that claim to work with unicode, but I've been unable to get them to work with the characters I am using.
