About subtitle scripts

You can import subtitles into Adobe Encore DVD if you have prepared them in a text file
first. A subtitle script includes a separate line for each subtitle. Each line is composed of
the initial timecode (the time at which the subtitle is to appear), the final timecode (the
time at which the subtitle is to disappear), and the subtitle text itself. To see a subtitle
script from which you can model your own, open the English_subtitles.txt file in the
Lesson11 folder in a text editor, such as Windows Notepad.

Linking buttons to subtitle tracks

Now you'll link the subtitle tracks to a menu, so that your viewers can choose whether to
view subtitles or not.

Subtitle.psd file.
2 With the selection tool, right-click the Dutch button in the Menu Editor window, and
choose Link To.
The Specify Link dialog box appears.
