Adobe Encore DVD + Subtitle

[Benjamin0]

Hi,

I resolv all my problem with the video file, now i have an other problem with the subtitles.
I have a srt file and i want to use it in Adobe Encore DVD, and i don't understand how to convert it to a format usefull in Adobe Encore DVD. I use SubtitleWorkshop ( but it doesn't make the BMP file) and i Use MaestroSBT, but any format want to be import.

Is someone can explain me how to do that?

Thanks or your answer

After many days of try, I progress a little bit, i made a txt file importable in Adobe Encore, but it answer me when i import it

"Timecode Overlap found in subtitle script line:
6 00:00:57:00 00:00:58:30 Dis moi quand."

and if erase the line 6 it's work well with the rest of the file.

Any idea what means this error message?

thanks for your help

I've only had a bit of a look at Encore, and decided to stick with Maestro - as I expected I would - however "overlap" in relation to subtitles usually means that subtitles are overlapping, and that isn't permitted.

e.g. subtitle 1 runs from 01:45:12:03 until 01:45:13:13
and subtitle 2 runs from 01:45:13:02 until 01:45:15:22

Here subtitle 2 begins before subtitle 1 is finished, i.e. there is overlap.

how did you make this ? some details ?

[Benjamin0]

I made a custom format in Subtitle Workshop like this:

Display_Area (0 0 720 576)
{RepeatSub}
{SubCount} {swStart} {swEnd} {swText}
{EndRepeat}


Don't forget to choose the right FPS, and to choose Frames and not time.
And last but noot least, in the text it must don't have special characters like éèàäâç......
