subtitled DVD export to Flash

Jul 28, 2012 8:40 PM

Tags: #flash #encore #subtitles

I'm trying out Encore CS5 and have run into the following problem:

I'm creating a Flash file of my authored DVD but it only shows subtitiles on one of the two timelines in the project.

Subtitles are visible in Encore when I preview both timelines but they only show up on one in the Flash output. If I output to a DVD folder or an actual DVD, they appear fine in both timelines.

 

Is this an issue with the software or could I be doing something wrong? As I said, they appear fine in a DVD folder or an actual DVD but when I create a Flash file (.flv), it only shows the subtitles on one of the timelines.

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks.

    Are you using "Do Not Export Images for Text Subtitles"?  I don't see what could result in only one timeline showing subtitles, but I'd consider what might be different between them.

    I thought CS6 made some more changes to flash output, but I see nothing in the help file (that says it applies to CS5 and CS6) related to this.

    No. I don't have "Do not export imager for text subtitles" checked. I'm going to try that next to see if it solves the problem.

    The issue has really stumped me. I can't figure out why it would favour one timeline over another and ONLY on the Flash output.

     

    Thanks.

    Doesn't make a difference whether "Do Not Export Images for Text Subtitles" is checked or not.

     

    Ideas?

    Me either. The only thing that made sense out of the option above would be if there were some difference in the type of subtitles.

     

    No time to test at the moment....

    Just as an FYI, in a frustrated attempt to fix the problem, I rebuilt the entire project from scratch and still have the same issue -- still only with the Flash output.

    There are two timelines (40 chapters in one, 2 in the other), five menus, two 40+ minute videos. The timeline with 40 chapters is the one that won't display the subtitles.

     

    Uggh....

    Hi ,

     

    I tried two timelines with subtitles  one having >40 chapters and other having no chapters  and exported to flash in Encore CS5.1 and CS6 .

     

    I am able to see subtitles in both my timelines .

     

    Can you check whether it is happening with this specific project or a simple project having two timelines?

     

    Thanks
