Delays

Sorry for not keeping the promise, but there are some delays in the creation of the DVD.

1. We have to manually add "line-breaks" in the srt(s), because the program cannot wrap text at the corners of the screen - and that sucks!
2. The program cannot render umlauts. This is really a problem for our german subtitles, because we have to substitute all "ä" with "ae", "ü" with "ue", etc. It's really annoying and looks like shit. But I guess it can't be helped.

There are also minor problems that can't be fixed. Our time-codes differ a little bit (I think the program does some kind of rounding, which virtualDub did not), so that subtitles which were displayed shortly are nearly unreadable (too fast). I really don't want to mess with the time-codes again, sorry! It's boring work and I'm not up for that.

Anyway, these fixes take some time, so we are not ready by now. What we do have is a cool intro, a stylish menu and some bonuses.

I don't want to give a new deadline. Maybe I will finish it in the next days, maybe it will take the whole next week. What I can promise is, that it WILL be done.

Stay tuned, please be patient.

Yours yuffi

A Very Potter Musical - Fanmade DVD

As suggested/requested by SuzanneBlinkie, we are currently working on a fanmade DVD of the awesome fanmusical by StarKidPotter.

It's a very fun thing to do, but it proves to be more complicated than expected. It's not that easy to author a DVD providing soft-subtitles. And we also want multiple subtitle channels - german and english that is.

So after traversing through numerous software solutions (including "Corel DVD MovieFactory" and "TmpEnc DVD Author 3"), I finally think I found the right one: "DVDLab PRO".

If you like the idea of watching the musical with subtitles on your DVD-Player, just wait a little longer. We will provide a download link once it's finished - this Friday I suppose.
