subtitles
Just about to embark on a mammoth subtitling session in DVD Studio Pro. I don’t want to sit and type in the text dictation style from the video so my intention is to get a secretary to type out all the dialogue in a Word document, then paste it into subtitle blocks as required.
Is this the quickest way? The Book talks about Single Subtitle Files with embedded in and out timecodes for each clip, etc. All seems a bit complicated and ‘digital’ to me. Any advice? Thanks.

Two things- (and not trying to be smart)
1) Making sure you are posting in the correct forum. This is a DVDSP question.
2) If this is a mammoth project, you should really consider subbing it out to a Subtitle house. Subtitles within DVDSP are not the most recommended way to do a large project. You will soon find out why there are very few lower end DVDs with subtitles on them.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
