Hi Adrian - yes, you can do what you want with a subtitle stream but there are some things to consider.
First off, if the viewer fast forwards along the track or skips to a different position the subtitle will drop out until the next chapter marker is reached, whereupon it will return. You need to therefore add a lot of markers as places where the subs can reappear if this is proving a problem.
Second, the subtitle stream actually only supports four colours - it is the same a a menu overlay file in that respect and you are quite limited in what it will show.
Thirdly, given the limitations, it might be better to go back to FCP and add in the logo if you are certain that you want it there all of the time - the sub-picture stream offers an alternative of sorts, but isn't going to be as reliable as a logo burnt in to the actual footage.
Finally, if the clips are short, you could set them in to menus and add a graphic there (like with an overlay), and set the playback to go to the appropriate menu. Your DVD must contain at least one track (which you could use as a menu, perversely!), but short clips playing back through menus is certainly possible as well.
Personally, I'd drop all of the clips into one FCP timeline, add a new layer for the logo and add chapter markers. I'd then export, encode to MPEG2 and bring it in to DVDSP. Use stories to play only a single chapter each time and return back to the menu... but it's your call!

  • N95 DEAD NOKIA LOGO ON SCREEN ALL THE TIME

    TRIED TO up date MY N95 FROM V12 TO LATEST. hard PHONE IN GENERAL PROFILE.. PHONE WENT OFF ON IT OWN @10%.. JUST LEFT WITH NOKIA LOGO ON SCREEN ALL THE TIME I WHEN PUT IT BACK ON?

    Phones switch on and off during the update, this is normal.
    Depending how far it got before stopping, you might be able to recover it: switch off, hold the green call key, asterisk key and 3 key down with the fingers of one hand, and use the other hand to switch the phone on - keep the three keys pressed untul the Nokia handshake is finished.
    If you are lucky, this will reformat the phone and restart it. Otherwise, you have to got to Nokia service point - if you still have warranty, problems caused by NSU can be fixed free.

  • Camera on iPhone4 doesn't work, when you use either the icon on the screen all you get the the shutter. I am unable take pictures. Has anyone had the same problem and are there any solutions?

    The camera on my iPhone 4 isn't working and hasn't for quite sometime. I have updated the phone to IOS 6 and it hasn't made any difference.
    When you use the icon that appears at the bottom of the screen or the camera icon on the main screen all you see is the camera shutter.I have tried to restore the camera and that hasn't made any difference. I have spoken to Apple support and they sent me a support site to check out, but there isn't any specific solution for my problem. Has anyone had a similar problem and is there a solution?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPhone. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPhone: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPhone.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Sounds like the phone might be broken.  If restart, reset, restore don't work, bring the phone to Apple for service.

  • Getting white screen all time

    Hello,
    I am having the same issues over and over again.
    I design an animation in Adobe Edge Animate and import it into InDesign. If I upload it to my IPad and open it with the Adobe Content Viewer I have the following problem: I go onto the designed page and click on it. Then there is always a 1second white screen and the designed page appears again and is now ready for usage.
    But this 1 second white screen comes every time i open the page again?
    Can u help me please?
    Best regards,
    Singed

    Click on the placed animation and then in the Folio Overlays panel you can change it.

    Hi DaVince Vince,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Regards,

  • I cannot use my ipad2 because the touch screen doesn't work at all. First I cannot unlock it or do anything in the screen!!!! Why?

    Have you tried a reset To see if that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPad2 is dead...worked fine, then when I tried to use it an hour later, the screen was black.  Home button did nothing; on/off button did nothing.  Tried charging overnight...still does nothing at all.  Also tried syncing with my desktop; still nothing.

When I restart it seems okay and I see my main screen, but only for a second and then it goes black again.

  • I am trying to get a good copy of my home video on DVD using IDVD.  On editing the video all the viewing screens show the video perfectly in HD.  When I burn the video to DVD all the end results are buzzy with squiggly lines.  Any fix?  Thanks?

    Hi
    There are several layers to this Q
    A. There are no HD in DVD - DVD is as standard only SD-Video what ever tools used to produce it !
    iDVD or DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ - will only make SD-Video on DVD
    B. DVD can be better or worse
    • Using "Share to iDVD" is no good way - Better is Share to Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD as result will be worse)
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools to chose if highes quality is of importance - iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version is far better as they send over all lines to iDVD and not only every second one.
    • Using Right encoder quality depending on movie and Manu duration is very important
    • Use of high quality brand of DVD - is important - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    • Type of DVD - DVD-R plays on more DVD-Players (even old ones)
    • Burn speed - I set it down to x4 - resulting in less burn errors - plays on more players
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Mac OS hard disk as iDVD and Mac OS needs this and it can not be taked from other hard disks - has to be here.
    • What You feed iDVD does matter
    Video codecs
    Audio file formats
    Photo file formats

    Can you attach a screenshot?

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar

    *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
    *You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
    It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

  • ISO 7 why can't I use my photos as my home screen images anymore!? They don't crop. They zoom all awkwardly!! Please fix this!!!!

    The new design is great but why the change in homescreen images?!? I can't use my Instagram photos as home screen anymore?!? Why?
    And this OS is slooowwwww!

    Thank you for replying! I think it's rather annoying of them to change it. It was an aawso feature i loved and enjoyed.
    I hope it gets changed back! This super zoom is unnecessary. Give me back my black borders! Lol

  • With 5th gen nano, how to display album artwork during playback at all times, it stays on for a few seconds and then the screen goes black? Is there a way to play and see artwork, at all times (using with a aux. speaker)

    I have a 5th gen nano, and I play it often on a aux. speaker. I would like the album artwork to display at all times while playing it here. Right now it plays for a few seconds on each song, and then goes blank. Can this be changed?

    The artwork turns black or the screen's backlight turns off?  If the backlight turns off, simply disable the backlight timer, but keep in mind this will significantly reduce your iPod's playback time and battery life.
