"I would suggest still using burnt-in subtitles rather than player-invoked ones. Have you thought about seamless-branching the opening crawl with the pre-ANH one? I wonder if MagnoliaFan could edit a cut of Terminator 3 that removes the story errors (eg John being 13 instead of 10 in T2, Arnie calling himself a T-101 which is incorrect, etc) and actually makes it a half-decent move? Nah, such a thing could never be done."

I wouldn't know where to begin with player-titles, but cutting out particular scenes wouldn't be hard.

"Mebejedi, what software are you using to capture. If you use the lossless codec I mentioned, your file will be less than half its current size, and it can capture and playback in realtime no worries."

I'm using the capture program that comes with Sony Vegas. If I can't find a setting for altering the fields upon capture, then I'll try using AMcap, since I know I can specify which codec to use (the Alparysoft one you mentioned earlier.) Like I said, I have to recapture anyways (the key scene I'm trying to improve is when the SD flies overhead. If I brighten the scene to bring out the stars, then the bottom of the SD gets washed-out. It's a little thing, but I'd like to make it look as best as possible.)

I tried a program called AVI-IO, but got too many dropped frames (although I got 12 overall with Vegas.)

"I know someone awhile back was looking at getting dutch subtitles. I am interested in french subtitles. Can anyone help?"

Well, someone who knows Dutch or French would have to translate the films first. After that, it's all cutting and pasting.

Okay, here are my new captures. Tell me how I'm doing so far. I got [url=http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=2#comments]VirtualDub[/url] to work (though I can still only capture in RGB.)

BTW, do my colors look better now?
