CatBus, don't mistake my comments to Chyron as me continuing to champion soft subs for the project, Harmy's had his say so it is done. I was just offering another option to his what-if scenario of encoding in subtitles when he converts. .ASS can offer some impressive stuff, though for anyone picky about the theatrical look of the subtitles, then yes, burning it in from the start is the easiest all around answer.

Oh, and Harmy, seeking in 2.1 works much better than the previous versions, not sure if anyone has mentioned that yet.
