Hi Folks I am reaching out to you for advice for a DVD project Green Planet Films has to author.
Ten 30 minute programs, representing 10 years (1 program per year, broadcast on PBS affiliates) QUESTION 1 If purchasing this series, do you prefer 10 separate DVDs, or some sort of Box Set (3 DVDs in a case) and a better price per program. QUESTION 2 We have a caption file. Do you prefer CLOSED CAPTIONS or SDH SUBTITLES. I ask because Closed Captions are harder to work with than SDH subtitles. (In Adobe Encoder, you cannot see the caption file, and timing tweaks have to be made separately in a subtitle program, then reloaded again). BUT one can see the SDH subtitles and can adjust timing if needed. (bottom line, these are much easier to work with). Thank you for any insight you have! cheers Suzanne Harle ____________ Suzanne Harle Founder, Head of Acquisitions GREEN PLANET FILMS Mill Valley, CA 415.377.5471 office 415.999.0396 mobile www.greenplanetfilms.org www.greenplanetstream.org a nonprofit organization ================== VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
