How do I add subtitles to a DVD?
I have to do a translation of the words of a DVD, and then add subtitles to that DVD (iso file or folder).
This is a professional work and it has to be clean (no change in quality, ie no "rip"...).
How can I add subtitles to a DVD (file) on a Mac (snow leopard)?
- wysiwyg: being able to view the DVD / stop it to add the subtitle, set the duration easily
- if possibly, set the font, size and position of subtitles
- (if possibly, even add subtitles to the DVD Menu)
Is there already an App on the Mac that does that and just need a download? Or a 3rd party software is required?
Solution 1:
Final Cut Pro can do that.
So can DVD Studio Pro.
There are also some free alternatives, most notable: Aegisub and Jubler.
Solution 2:
I would go with DVD Studio Pro.
Basically, you create a subtitle clip and position it:
Click the textarea in the Inspector, and start typing. You can format the font by bringing up the Fonts window by going to Format > Font > Show Fonts (or pressing Command + T).
And that's the basic idea. Pretty simple. You can find a little more detailed article in Apple's KB.
