Is it possible to change the subtitle position in dvd-maestro

I can only see the top line of the subtitle not the lower

The sub is from the movie 'so close'

I used vobsub to save it as maestro-format (son)

Vobsub was the only prog that could read the sub .

Can i edit the position in maestro

well u can edit each sub and change the vertical offset, but i think that is out of the question, or u can export the subs in stl format and change the same offset globaly.

Can't you just open the .son-file and edit the Display_Area? Here's an extract of a header from a son-file. Changing the original value of "2" to "-100" f.i. puts the text closer to the center of the picture. I guess that if your in NTSC country you'd write "Display_Area (0 -100 719 479)" instead.

Of course if you've had MaestroSBT render it for you there'll be a Display_Area statement for every line, which is unusable.

st_format 2
Display_Start non_forced
TV_Type PAL
Tape_Type NON_DROP
Pixel_Area (0 573)
Directory .
Subtitle sub
Display_Area (0 -100 719 575)
Contrast (15 15 15 0)

SP_NUMBER START END FILE_NAME
