how create multi-language subtitles for DVD with Pinnacle

[robrecht]

Hi,

I am running Pinnacle v8 to create DVDs from my home-made videos. I want to add subtitles to the scenes, but in different languages like you can select on commercial DVDs.
I want to leave the audio (from people's mouths...) unchanged, so no multiple audio streams.
Anyone out there who knows what software is required to achieve this, if not Pinnacle?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Rob

Just refreshing the question to bring it under your attention...

I am really wondering what software would allow to create these multi-language subtitles as you have from commercial DVDs. Multiple languages are a common symptom we have to deal with here in Europe.

TIA

Rob,

I am curiously watching your post from last week, as I will be coming up against the same situation. I have ordered Pinnacle 8 and will be making DVD's in multiple languages as well. Hopefully, someone else on this forum has some experience that will help us.

Hi Squero,

still no response received from the forum ... Seems like only single-language people are interested in making DVDs ?

Anyhow, in parallel I was notified about the existence of "ReelDVD" from Sonic. It allows indeed multi-language subtitling like professional or commercial DVDs, but the package costs roughly 400 US$ !!
I am curious to know about any other more economic solution ...
