Are the translators burning the subtitles in the video? If it’s dvd, there is no need for that. Upload H.264 files and have the translators provide you with the subtitles in the text format your dvd authoring software uses, ie stl.
That way, they don’t need a high quality video, just good enough to translate. And if you’re doing something fancier than plain text in motion, they don’t need prores either. They don’t even need to upload a video, just a text file with the timecode, so you know when to put them in motion. -
Unless I’m missing something from your post, if you’re sending the editor that transition as a video file, you need to use a format which uses alpha channels (ie, transparency). Either a tiff sequence, prores 4444 or animation, among other options. Make sure you select million/trillions of colours + before you export. The plus sign indicates it’s saving alpha channel.

The other issue is, adding .doc, .pdf, etc files to a dvd might cause some players to refuse to play the disc, as it doesn’t conform to the dvd specifications to the letter if do so.
I’d say both options can be done, but are unreliable. The fail proof way is to write the eshop url and let the customers type it in their broswer. Maybe you can add a QR code, so they scan it with their smartphone?

Most, if not all, lossy compression codecs require the frame size to be divisible by 4, due the way they work. I don’t know off the top of my head if there is a codec which will allow you to export a frame size that’s 5 pixels horizontally, but you could try uncompressed formats like animation. Note that this maybe a issue for final delivery, depending exactly in what you’re going to do with the animation.

By draconian measures do you mean UAC? IE, you need to confirm every time you install something? You can disable it. I’ve never seen it fire by itself, or caused by anything that wasn’t things I wanted to do which, I guess, would be an actual security threat.

Well, the highest is uncompressed/animation but you won’t find any noticeable difference in quality with prores HQ, and you will will find a noticeable difference in disk space. So, just stick with Prores 422 HQ
-
Or you could use Prores 422 proxy, that’s 30% the bitrate of prores 422. It will fit that size and you will have a quality loss.
-
Prores 422 LT is your only way, but IIRC, it shouldn’t give you a 2GB file. While smaller than 422, it’s more than half the bitrate.
So, I’d say you can’t, unless you want to reduce the frame size and I assume you don’t want to do that.
You’ll need to use something else to keep it below 2GB. Now, why do you need it in a 2GB size? There might be other options to achieve what you need. -
Then it just doesn’t work

Well, unless he’s making a master for replication, he doesn’t need to care about regions. Any dvd burnt from a dvd burner will end up multiregion and without copy ‘protection’
