Subtitles. Because I like hearing foreign languages spoken. I think it adds a whole new layer to the whole viewing experience to hear the intonations and sounds of the native language in which a film was made. This doesn't just apply to anime. I prefer subtitles for any foreign language movie I see.

Some movie subtitles may appear in the black letterboxing below the movie image. If you use automated screen masking, the subtitles may then be obscured by the mask. The Kaleidescape System now offers the option of repositioning subtitles within the movie image.

You should see a green arrow shaped icon in your systemtray (right-bottom of your screen). That is DirectVobSub. Right-click on that icon to enable or disable the subtitles.

Subtitles can only be placed on top of the video. Placing the subtitles below the original video is possible by enlarging the video frame. This is done by adding black bars to the top and bottom of the video. These black bars will be visible when the video is not in fullscreen. They are different from black bars that are only visible during fullscreen playback. Those are not part of the video frame and thus can not be used to put the subtitles onto.

I think they all have advantages. From a builders point of view Sitka spruce is the toughest of all, I use it for all of my top bracing and prefer to use it on the larger guitars. Englemann spruce is somewhat softer, often lighter and carves beautifully. It works well on back braces, as back joint reinforcement and for all guitar sizes. It is easily driven and is my favorite spruce for nylon stringed instruments.

No. Subtitles are stored as images, not as text, on DVDs. The Kaleidescape System cannot change the color, font or size of subtitles.

I don't like remembering complex technical names so I just keep track of the sub's extension. The following list collects almost all formats available currently .ass, .dks, .txt, .psb, .sst, .sub, .son, .stl, .srt, .ssa, .tts, .vsf, .zeg, .jss, .scr, .mpl, .pjs, .smi, .sami, .rt, .txt + .sub, .idx + .sub and others.

You need to SET UP the disc by selecting SET UP from the Picture This DVD main menu. There you can choose which subtitles or closed-captions you would like to appear. In most cases, you can also choose none. From this menu you can also select between regular 2-channel stereo (2.0) or 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound (5.1).

Yes. As with our Video to DVD transfer professional image enhancement technology is used to produce the cleanest possible VHS Dubs.

A good resource for finding subtitles for Asian movie DVDs which come without subtitles is Kloofy's. You'll need a plug in like Direct VobSub to be able to use them though - much more info is available at Kloofy's. Yes, and probably not. DVDs are encoded into regions; relevant here are regions 1 (US and Canada), 2 (Europe) and 3 (South-East Asia). A significant number of films here are only available in region 3 versions.

While you are streaming an episode, if you see a "T" icon on the flash player, it means that external subtitles is available for this episode. What this means is that you can turn the subtitles on or off simply by clicking on the "T" icon.

I'm not particularly hung up on names but there are pragmatic reasons, and also business related reasons, for me to use Lizardman rather than my given name in most situations. Only family and some friends refer to me as Erik and they generally know when it is more appropriate to call me Lizardman. If there is any doubt, then use Lizardman.

Under NO circumstances is high-speed dubbing acceptable. The sibling tape is always a lower quality dub than the same tape dubbed at normal speed. Some may contend that you cannot hear the difference between a tape made under high-speed dubbing and one made at normal speed. You must always remember, however, that the tapes you are providing to your trade partners will be the source tape for the subsequent trade he does from the same tape.

You should see a white icon in your systemtray (right-bottom of your screen). That is Haali Media Splitter. Double-click on that icon to view its options. You can also get to the options by clicking on the Haali Media Splitter shortcut in the start menu. Once you are in the Options screen, click on 'Languages'. There you can set the preferred language(s) for audio and subtitles. The language should be input using a three character code, for example eng for English.

English movies do not contain subtitles unless it is stated clearly. However, most of our Chinese movies contain English subtitles.

The current DVD subtitle support allows the subtitles to be displayed, but neither at the correct time nor for the correct duration.

The DVD's being reviewed are all Region 1 encoded, and the intended audience for this site is the US and Canada, under the assumption that everyone reading this site can understand English. As such, I only make note of audio tracks in other languages when English is not the original language of the movie, and in such a case, I will list the various languages available on the disc.

If you have added subtitles to your project but you cannot see them, press the "subtitle" button on your DVD player's remote control. This should activate the subtitles.
