Transfering subtitles between projects?
After spending a very long time working on this problem I hit a snag on what would have been the final run before I finalized the master. Watching the disc space usage carefully during production, the end results would have put it about 3.5-4.0 gb of data on the dvd. Just as I was importing the last two files I needed, Encore refused to transcode them saying they were below the required 2mps. After that I checked the space again, now I was over 5.2gb on the dvd. Made some adjustments, deleted all unnessasary files and I was still over the limit and those files would not transcode. So I decided to start from scratch and rebuild all the files and retranscode everything again.
On two videos ranging in 2-3 mins in length, I manaully subtitled the segment and was wondering if I could copy and paste those subtitles over to the new rebuilt project file? every time I try to highlight and copy those subtitle lines in the timeline I get an OUT OF MEMORY error and a crash of the program. Suggestions?

Bryan,
AFAIK it isn’t possible to export or transfer subtitles typed directly in Encore. This is one of the reasons why using a subtitle script instead is a preferable method.
As for the size of your project: What is the total duration of all video you want to put on the DVD?

Thanks roadkill,
as for the total duration I am looking at perhaps 1hr 25 mins of video consisting of interviews, menu animations(less than 2 mins total throughout the disc), highlighted segments and roughly 100 mb of picture gallery menu files. I used the 7mps setting instead of automatic and it brought it down to farely acceptible levels. Now when I was playing on paritcular video inside of encore, roughly 3 mins into it (out of 5.5mins) the video started going out of sync with the audio..however if I jumped to another part of the video instead of starting from the beginning everything is fine so I assume it’s my system starting to have problems.

i have read multiple threads here about the possibility for exporting encore subtitles. i’m currently working on a encore cs4 for MAC. if you have subtitle tracks in a timeline you can right-click the track and choose export subtitles. i was suprised as well that it was in there. it is very usefull, so there is a solution. i suppose it’s in cs5 as well…
