Doctor M said: It's just one of those things that I don't feel strongly about preserving from the theater. It's just subtitles FCOL.
I agree with this, and I do not care much what the subtitles look like. Nonetheless, some people with Constant Image Height Projectors might want them in the picture. (There are actually 21:9 televisions, but they are far from common.)
G-Force, did you adjust the scripts to avoid horizontal resizing after all? I think this would be highly desirable.
Moreover, surely someone who wants use these in their own projects will apply the scripts to the original GOUT DVDs not an encode.
