Haven't tested on DVD yet.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-is-the-best-way-to-add-captions-and-subtitles#post-48876 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:58:33 +0000 jerronsmith 48876@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you want the viewer to be able to turn the subtitles on and off you probably won't be able to do it with pure video alone. The reason subtitling works with dvd is that in addition to video and audio information of the dvd you have additional data (like subtitles) and an authoring environment that makes it interactive. </p> <p>I beleive you would probably need to have the video file embedded into an authoring environment like Flash or Silverlight to be able to have user controllable subtitles with a video file.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-is-the-best-way-to-add-captions-and-subtitles#post-48847 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:55:18 +0000 jimcvideo 48847@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><a href="http://club.cdfreaks.com/f62/how-add-subtitles-dvd-croatian-english-tutorial-135193/">Here's a link on creating subtitles</a>. <a href="http://forum.videohelp.com/topic219535.html">Here's another link</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://forum.videohelp.com/topic314307.html">Here's a link on Closed captions</a>.</p> <p>It can be done, but it's a lot of work.

I am trying to find an answer to this question but never imagine it was so difficult to find it.</p> <p> </p> <p>I make independent documentaries and videos edited with Adobe Premiere CS3. I want to add subtitles in different languages. Not permanent: I want to do it in a way similar to commercial DVDs, where the viwer can turn them on/off, change the languages, etc.</p> <p>Also, not only for DVD, it is important for me that they subtitles work in YouTube.</p> <p>Thank you!</p>
