The objective of this guide is to author video titles with subtitle streams. The DVD specifications support the display of subtitles up to 32 different languages. The ability to create subtitles in synchronization with the playback of audio and video is one of the many advanced features of Scenarist.

In the Scenarist environment, the DVD author can create the subtitles manually or generate a script file to automate the subtitle creation in larger projects. This guide demonstrates this advanced feature in both manual and scripting mode. The DVD author can control the placement of subtitles, the font type and the color of the subtitle text, the starting and ending time of the subtitle, and whether the subtitle can be forced to appear regardless of the settings of the DVD player, or to display the subtitles based upon certain conditions with additional DVD virtual commands.

These features demonstrate the power and flexibility only a professional DVD-compliant high-end authoring package like Sonic Solutions Scenarist can offer to a DVD author regardless of cost. We are going to manually create a DVD title which has a subtitle at a specific time and duration. Then we are going to create a series of subtitles from an automated script. This guide helps you achieve the following advanced expertise:

Learn how to author multiple sutitle streams.
Advanced usage of the DVD virtual machine commands to support the display of subtitle streams (SetSTN).
Learn how to create scripts to automate the creation of subtitles.
