Add subtitles to DVD

To add subtitles to a title, all you have to do is edit the title, go to the Subtitles tab, and use the Add button to add subtitle files to the title. You can reorder them using the arrow buttons.



To edit the language, font, font size and positioning of a subtitle select it and press the Edit button. In the window that pops up you can change various properties of the subtitle. When you click the small preview you will see a larger approximation of how the subtitle will look.

The language setting is simply the language of the subtitle in question. The character set option is used to indicate in what way the subtitle file is encoded, so that the right characters can be drawn. For example if you have added a Chinese subtitle, you might have to set the character set to Chinese BIG5 or GB2312.

The Auto-fit button will adjust the subtitle's font size so that all subtitle lines will fit on screen. The display by default button will make sure that the current subtitle will be displayed automatically when the title containing it is played. If other subtitles have this set, only the first subtitle in the list will be displayed when the title starts.


Add audio tracks to DVD

A good example for when you want to add another audio track would be to add a second commentary track or some music.



After you have added the title, edit it and go to the Audio tracks tab. There you can press the Add button, and then select the audio file or another video file that you will choose an audio track from. If you chose a video file or the file you chose has more than one audio track, you will be asked to choose which track to add.


Add a menu to DVD

If you have many titles in your DVD Flick project, you might want to consider adding a menu to your DVD so that you can select a title to play from a list with names and thumbnails.



To add a menu, go to the Menu settings button. Here you can choose a template which will determine the appearance of the menu, as well as see it in action by clicking the Preview button. To exit the menu preview, either press ESC or right-click on the preview window. After you've chosen a template, be sure to enable the Enable menu checkbox so that the menu will be included on your disc.

You can also view menu pages that allow you to select an audio track or subtitle from the currently playing title. To access this menu while a title is playing, most DVD players have a Audio or Subtitle button on their remotes.
