Could any one of the video geniuses out there do me a huge favor with my edit?

I need video clips of every shot with alien subtitles, with the subtitles burnt into the actual video itself. I fear this is the only way I'll ever complete them. I have TPM completely done, and have been racking my brain (and google) trying to add subtitles. But this way I can plug them in and have them be burnt in.

Can anyone help me out? It would be a massive help to my "phantom edit lite" saga. I'm not changing much of the prequels, just trimming and adding a few things to make it better without changing the nature of the story. For this reason, they are interchangable. One could watch any one of my edits with the rest of the 'regular' DVDs. No story elements are changed except how they are presented. (So yes, midichloians and virgin births are still present. I'm not changing the actual story.) And with the OT, all that will be done is alternating between DVD SE and original (and 'original SE').

If at all possible, could the font for the subs be Eras Demi? (the font from the SE laserdisc, also used in Darth Editous's ANH)

And I'll also need burnt subs for the AOTC deleted scenes with the Geanosians.

If any editing geniuses out there who could help me would do it, I would be forever in your debt. Otherwise.... my edits may never get off the ground!! And all over something as stupid as alien subtitles...

I am just about finished with editing and compiling the video for my ROTJ fan edit... but I am baffled by how to get the subtitles back, or create new ones.

Obviously, the altered running time of alternating between LD and DVD footage has messed up the original subtitle stream. So does anyone know a relatively painless way to create a new subtitle track for Star Wars?

I will be sending a copy of Darth Editous's version to the following three people in the near future after I burn them and take care of a few other things that need to get done first:

Infodroid
Starpc

Sorry for the other two who PMed me after. The reason I picked the number three is b/c that's how many special envelopes I have left over. But you can contact these three, and I'm sure they will be gracious enough to mail you a copy too.

Thank you, Darth Editous, not just for making the DVD etself, but for the great quality of shipping. I wasn't expecting first class shipping in a padded envelope in a full DVD case!
That was really nice.

And anyone in the US who wants a copy of the NTSC version, PM me.
EDIT: First three, anyway. I need the other two padded envelopes in the package I just bought.

How do I hard code alien subtitles into the video like you did?
I'm working on my own edit of the six films, and this sounds like a better idea than creating a subtitle stream.

I am using Womble mpeg-vcr to edit the video, if this helps. (And how, or with what program, do I create scene transitions and wipes that look like a professional editing job, instead of what Womble offers?)

Can we get some seeders for ROTJ?

I have to download the whole thing for a De-SE project I'm working on.
All I need is the original Jabba song in anamorphic video and 5.1 sound, so it's compatible with the official DVD.

Can anybody here send me the video clip from Dr. Gonzo of the original Jabba dance number? I have Gmail, so I can hold a gigabyte of space. That'd be much appreciated. PM me if you are able to do it.
