Hi Ryan,

I’m just experiencing the exact same thing! Did you ever solve your problem?

Cheers, Lisa

Hi Ronen,

As far as I’ve understood you want get any not-asian-Adobe Version to display those characters. The reason is that Chinese has more unique characters than you would be able to display with just one bit. Thats why some characters need two bits to be discribed, which I suppose European/American… Adobe Versions don’t support. (Give your characters a try in i.e. Photoshop – at least for me they also showed up as squares there).

So unless you don’t change to an asian version of encore (which I suppose would support those characters – although that’s just a guess), there is no way to fix this issue.

That’s the reason why I changed to suptitleedit to create a fab image sequence that contained all the characters and resulted in me having a tif file for every subtitle. Unfortunately – as described in my initial post – I got stuck with importing the sequence into encore (although fab image sequnces are specially designed for encore) as the allways ended up to be extremly distorted.

I finally gave up on the problem and as I had sufficient space on my DVD/Bluray, I simply imported my tif files from subtitleedit to Premiere and produced a Version with burned in subtitels there – Not the optimal solution, but at least it does the job and all the characters where correctly displayed.

Hope that helped your case and if you find any other solution I would be curious if you would let me know.

Cheers, Lisa

Nobody?

Or does anybody have any idea how I can import Mandarin subs in Encore without lacking the characters or having to buy any additional software?
