Catbus, I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for this fantastic project. You did on hell od a job and your read me was written so well that, though I was nervous I might actually screw something up, I was able to mux in subs like a pro. I can't tell you how happy my deaf friend was when I presented him with these discs and told him that they had subtitles. He sent me a text saying that these were the nicest, easy to read subs he's seen on a dvd EVER. Plus, now I can enjoy Star Wars while my partner is asleep without having to turn up the volume too loud. So there you go, two lives touched by your dedication.

That is great to hear. The thing that got me started on this project was making good SDH subs for a deaf friend of mine, so I'm very pleased to hear more deaf viewers like it too. I really spent more time on those SDH subs than anything else. Also, good to hear feedback about the README file, I tried to make it pretty easy to follow and I'm glad to hear it worked out.

One thing I do feel the need to point out, and this is not a poke at you or a complaint, merely made me chuckle a bit. When you watch Star Wars with the subs but the mono track enabled, when the Stormtroopers are checking the doors of Mos Eisley and they say "The door's secure, move on etc.." the subs still read "the door is locked." I know you can't have a mono sub and a stereo sub, just thought it was worth mentioning.

This is, as you pointed out, fairly unavoidable due to subtle variations in the sound mixes, I opted for matching stereo/70mm because it's the most popular option and the default on most preservations.

...BUT, you'll notice that there IS in fact a mono SRT file in the project files for fans of the mono mix, it just hasn't been pre-made into a SUP file. It's a little more involved to make the SUP files, but the process is described in the README. And there's even a mono SDH file in there too!
