Favourite fonts used for your DVD project subtitles?

Hello.
I would like to know which fonts people here use as subtitle fonts mostly on their dvd projects. Which fonts through Encore, or as subtitle images, look the best and most efficient and clear? Mention also font sizes and other specs if you will.
Let me know. Having a rather normal set of fonts at the moment in use, I might be going with Encore subtitles for Verdana at the moment, 24 - 28pts, BOLD. The only other one I'm considering at the moment might be Arial Black. 86% from the top.
Better ones in mind? Should I go with something else? Suggestions...

Using a lot of Helvetica Neue here.
1 degree gaussian blur helps too.

What does "domain name is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml" mean?

Why is Muse now asking, on either uploading files via Muse or externally through another ftp, for a domain name that is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml?
I used Muse for exporting my files to ftp externally a few months back and I could add whatever I liked into the domain name field (which made sense as I could choose an appropriate name). I upgraded Muse this morning and now no domain name I add in here is accepted and on hovering over the info icon I get a "domain name is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml. What does that mean exactly?
If anyone can help?

Hi Guys
Great thread Omniscient! Like Bian, my username is just my name. It's a unisex name and caused a nice little debate in the early days of this forum as to whether I was male or female!
Kerry is from the Irish meaning 'dark-haired' but I am a blondie (natural blonde when younger, bottle blonde now I am older!) I think my mum just liked the name...
There are lots of interesting usernames out there - tell us about them and where they come from!
Cheers
Kerry

No, you can sync your DRM tracks to an unlimited number of iPods (but only authorized to play on 5 different computers/user accounts)

So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance.

Can you set a Cost Rate Table to be used for an entire project

In earlier versions of project, the default cost rate table (A) is used unless changed by the user for each assignment. In 2010, is it possible to define which cost rate table to use for the entire project, not at the assignment level?
Thanks.

Hi melduncan,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project forum:)
I assume you want project to have a default cost rate, so why not set the cost rate details into A to begin with, You could then set this as a template from which you initiate all your new projects see FAQ
Item: 8. New Project Template. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm
Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)

Fonts used for dreamweaver program not working

Hi I had installed fonts on my computer using font book and since then, I can not load Dreamweaver! I turned off and deleted most of the fonts and dreamweaver will now load, however the font used for the system - Example - on the preferences screen - the font used by the program is wacked and the fonts on the intro screen are just crazy symbols.
I am wondering what fonts are used by default by Dreamweaver for the program itself to function. if I open font book at the same time - both programs crash. - thank you very much in advance!!!!
please help see attached screen shot.
Christina

First open Font Book and validate all fonts. I believe you have to select all fonts cmd+a, and then click file->validate font. If any are corrupt, delete them. Also for future reference you may want to create a new collection (bottom left plus) with your custom fonts to avoid this issue in the future. Unfortunately, with a corrupt font this can be a long enduring process.

I am using ERwin® Data Modeler r7.1 (7.1.1.1207). It supports most new features of Oracle 10g such as hash, list, composite hash, setting LOB storage properties etc.
We just upgraded from version 4 recently. In the old version, I had to manually modify the generated scripts.
ERWin r7 supports all Oracle 10g (Release 2) new features we need for our projects. It offers far more functionality and options than the old version. It supports all partition types in Oracle 10g: Range, Hash, List, Composite-Hash and Composite-LIST and offers more storage settings.
Another nice new feature of ERWin r7 is that it offers purge option in the DROP TABLE statement. In Oracle 10g, the recycle bin contains all the dropped database objects until you permanently drop them with the PURGE option. Otherwise, you will see many funny looking objects like this: 'BIN$0+ktoVChEmXgNAAADiUEHQ==$0'.
With the purge option, you don't need to purge the recycle bin after the forward engineering.

My favorite is Oracle Designer.

Hi
In BO 4.0 SP 9 when a administrator tries to schedule a report via CMC there is no error
But when a user schedules a report and the destination is FTP location -> Use default settings he gets following error
Destination disabled. []: [CrystalEnterprise.Ftp]. Please note the name of the job server used for your request and contact your system administrator to make sure the specified destination is enabled. (FWB 00031)
There is only one Job Server and the destinations are enabled in it
There is no Job server for Crystal Reports Job Server
Do i need to create it and how.

Please check if you have proper rights to schedule to FTP. You can create a new job server, whenever you schedule it, there are multiple job servers, it will handle based on the load. But it is not mandatory, depends on the load.

Why does the font used for iTunes show as an outline?

I cannot get the font used for iTunes to change from an outline. I am using Suitcase Fusion and have turned on and off the Office fonts etc.

Try this: Go to Control Panel, Fonts.
On the left pane click "Font settings" > uncehck "Hide fonts based on language settings" > Click "Ok" at the bottom. Restart you computer just to be sure the setting went through. See if that helps.

Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

I agree - it's all about preference. I use the ThinkTank Retrospective 7. I *love* ThinkTank's attention to detail... everything from having a rain cover included with the bag, to having ingenius use of velcro (sp?) patches to enable you to "silence" the bag so it doesn't make the big "SCRATCH" sound when opening the bag during a quiet event, etc.
My best advice would be to do your research (which you're clearly doing) and have a clear understanding of the return policy wherever you buy it, and then don't be afraid to return it if you get it and feel it doesn't meet your needs. A restocking fee is a small price to pay to not be stuck with a bag that doesn't work for you. And if for any reason you get it and can't return it, there's always eBay.

Adobe ID terms of use for your account have been updated

Hallo zusammen,
ich nutze seit ein par Tagen DreamWeaver 6 um Smartphone-Apps mit PhoneGap zu bauen. Die letzten Tage gab es dabei auch keine Probleme. Auch nicht beim direkten Weg über build.phonegap.com. Seit heute bekomme ich allerdings die Fehlermeldung:
The Adobe ID terms of use for your account have been updated. Please go to adobe.com to accept the terms of use.
Ich bin ja auch grundsätzlich bereit die neuen Nutzungsbedingungen zu akzeptieren, aber ich finde nicht die Stelle, an der ich den entsprechenden Haken setzen kann. Und ich habe schon eine kleine Weile gesucht!
Auf der Site build.phonegap.com kann ich mich bei gleicher Fehlermeldung ebenfalls nicht mehr einloggen.
DreamWeaver ist bezahlt, registriert und alles was dazu gehört...
Weiß jemand Rat?
Gruß
Oliver Vincenz

Hallo nochmal,
ich erweiter mal meine Frage: Bin ich der Einzige, der dieses Problem hat? Könnt ihr euch noch bei build.phonegap.com einloggen oder aus dw6 heraus einen build starten, oder ist das mein individuelles problem?
Ich habe inzwischen drei mal mit der deutschen Support-Hotline telephoniert. Die wissen auch nicht weiter und verweisen mich an eine Telefonnummer in den USA. Unter der Nummer erreiche ich allerdings niemanden. Dafür habe ich einen Chat-Support in den USA erreicht. Die können mir auch nicht helfen und verweisen mich wiederum an die deutsche Hotline. Der Hinweis, dass die mir auch nicht helfen ging ins leere. Das ist zum heulen!
Eine Mail an [email protected] ist raus, aber bisher auch ohne Ergebnis.
Ich poste meine Frage jetzt nochmal im englischen Forum...

What happens if your DVD project is over 1 hour long

I know that to get the highest quality image on your DVD that your project should be 1 hour. What happens if your project is longer than that? let's say one hour ane 10 minutes for example. Will Encore still pop out a DVD only with lower quality images?

Hi Terry.
Of course it won't, although I understand where your concerns come from - blame marketing speak for this!.
It's basically nonsense - Hollywood have been outputting films on DVD running well past the 1 hour mark for over a decade now.
What determines the final image quality on any DVD has much, much more going on than simple running time.
Initially, you should start with the highest quality assets available to you. A lot of the time, this will be SD Video - Standard Definition Video - at 720x480 pixels if in NTSC regions, or 720x576 in PAL regions. If it is higher than this, it is a form of High(er) Definition video. That would introduce our first variable, as high definition source material needs to be correctly scaled or reduced in resolution to SD.
Then it needs to be transcoded into a DVD compliant compressed data format called MPEG-2, standing for the Motion Picture Experts Group, although some wags would claim it really stads for "moving pictures by educated guesswork". There are many encoders out there, and some are frankly better than others at all settings, whilst others work well in some cases but not in others. It's a bit of a minefield. Encore's MainConcept encoder is pretty good.
Quality here depends on the available bitrate, which depends on running time divided by available disc space, with added complexity caused by quality of source, quality of encoder & rapidity of motion in the source.
Basically, the more action in the film (or explosions, fires - anything difficult to encode because of fast motion etc) the more bits that section will need so another trick is using VBR or CBR - Variable bitrate will use fewer bits when it can in order to use more when it has to. VBR will always vary the bitrate to maintain quality. CBR uses the same number of bits, regardless of content, and will only ever vary the quality or (in best case scenario) waste disc space.
If using Dolby Digital Audio, which is 0.192kbps for stereo, this leaves you with up to 9,500kbps for film.
A DVD9 has 65,000 avalable MegaBits for use (after subtracting an overhead) so a 3 hour film would run for 10,800 seconds.
Audio MegaBits used we cancalculate as it is a fixed bitrate, so 0.192 x 10,800 = 2073.6MegaBits.
65,000 - 2073.6 = 62926.4 MegaBits remaining
This gives you a video bitrate of 62926.4/10800 = 5.83Mbps, or 5,830kbps for your video bitrate. That's almost 6Mbps, and a lot of hollywood come in at less than this. a 2-pass VBR would be your best fit, with the minimum at 2,000, the maximum at 6,000 and the target at 5,000 (Some encoders cheat here and set the maximum internaly to the spec limits - I do not recommend trying this in settings though).
A well-encoded film at an average bitrate of 5,000 kbps is not going to look terrible by any stretch although a lot does depend on those variables.
Hope this helps

Can I re-use & edit old dvd project with new video/audio??

I video a dance company's Christmas performance each year and I plan to use the same theme and many of the titles and scenes are the same. So I'm hoping there is a way to bring all the work I did last year in iDVD forward and just make any updates to the scene titles as needed. All the video and audio will be new and I'll prepare it in iMovie with chapter markers as I did last year. If I can import the audio & video into iDVD without redoing all the text and buttons it would be great. Has anyone had experience with this?

Brian,
If you "archived" the iDVD project then the answer is yes it's pretty easy - I recommend you do that this year!
If you didn't archive the project, then you've got some work to do. There are some applications like DVDxDV, MPEG Streamclip+the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component, and ExportToQT (which come with MPEG2Works) that will convert the VOB MPEG 2 video files on your DVD back to DV files that iMovie or FCP/FCE can use again. But it is time consuming to convert back, and some of these apps are easier than others.
You might try DVDxDV to see what's involved. There is a trial version. Even so, you'd need to re-build the menus, etc...... and if you have all new video, I don't think it will help much.
So my bet is you'll be better off just starting from scratch this year.....but then archive the project to use next year!

I changed the font to some other font and again changed it to Arial and it is working correct now.
it show the arial font in Iphone now. thanks the problem is solved.
i have another query, can we use some different font for responsive design which not a web font.
in our custom HTML projects we embed fonts in the HTML wrapper and use them in the project to display the used fonts on any device.
is it possible in Captivate 8 for Responsive projects.
