BDN file (subtitle) for Sonic HDMV (BluPrint)

[sarmano]

Some information:

High definition disc media (HD DVD, Blu-ray disc) uses SDH subtitles as the sole method because technical specifications do not require HD to support line 21 closed captions.
(- WiKi.)

SSF (Structured Subtitles Format), much like USF is an XML based subtitle format developed by Gabest.
(- WiKi.)


Does anyone know what looks like BDN files?
May be someone already has it...

not working in sceanarist :(

That BDN file works fine with Scenarist. I tried it myself. What's the error you are getting?

[sarmano]

Scenarist prepares import of data and then nothing else doing, it's freeze.
When I click the "Stop" button I recieve an error:
"Error in exec command [Edit.ImportBDN]: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object".

[2themax]

The only similar problem I had to the freezing was caused because I was using 24bit PNGs. Once I converted them to 8bit, everything worked.

2themax thx a lot!

"Error in exec command [Edit.ImportBDN]: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object".

I get the same error (using 8 bit PNG)....:
"Error : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Error : PG Encode error(URUWorks_eng). See above message"


"URUWorks_eng" - it's URUWorks_eng.pes (it's ES file, than Scenarist save after BDNImport completed)
Scenarist v4.5 (WinXP).

When I use v4.3 there wasn't any error... (except violet pixels at border of the text while playing muxed blu-ray).

Someone, help!
