kill bill the whole bloody affair ibleedspeed edit (Released)
Time

well the whole bloody affair received its first full viewing tonight. and i am happy with it. however i will for sure increase the size of the subs to 18. they are legible at 16 but chainsawash was right as usual on that. 18 will in fact be better. we should have a sticky on standards such as subtitle size and other small detail,s that otherwise take trial and error adding to the lengthy process of an edit. i for 1 have redone the subtitle size 4 times simply because i did not know how they would look on a tv. but it probably does not matter for anyone using a tv for a monitor. i am currently working from a 15" laptop and it is hard to tell how subs will look on a tv. otherwise the edit came out great. didnt see any glitches or problems at all and picture quality was as good as i think it can be for a 4 hour movie on a dl disc. i will finish up the subs and release the movie in a day or 2.

ok well i am about to begin on the subs! i did a lot of work on the dvd main menu today. the dvd is fully authored and i made a test copy mounted and looked at everything in the menus and tested all the media. i had a problem with audio sync in 2 of the special features. but figured it out i believe. i had set the framerate for those to videos in dvd architect to 23.976 fps and they are 29.970 videos. so fixed that and everything is looking golden. as for the subs. since only a few had an opinion it looks like a draw straws deal. so for me i think i will go with yellow ariel black outline black dropshadow its simple and means less work since they are already ariel. thanks for all the input guys. it wont be long now.

helvetica is a pay font. and franklin i did not like any of them. as for the drop shadow yeah down to the right would be good. size 16 font takes up way to much screen real estate. i think unless i am voted down i really like the bookman font i know its not the original style but hey this is a fanedit. the only other font i will use is ariel. and the outline adds definition bigtime. in certain scenes with no outline the subs are very much not defined against the picture after playing with it for hours i decided the outline is a must. any red is out for sure as it just looks blury. so its yellow text with black effects. if anyone wants to post some mockups like from photoshop of what they like feel free i am still open but one way or another this edit is going to be finalized tonight. thanks for input as always ash you have a good eye for detail.

I like the larger font, and option #4 on the style (I'm not a fan of using color or other unusual font styles).

the subs on the dvd are yellow. personally i think yellow suits kill bill beautifully. i would,nt use colored subs on most movies but in this case i think yellow is the way to go but we will see what others think. thanks for the input frink.

ok i think the previous posted pics of my subs at size 12 are deceptive because the pic frame was from the 3:2 files. you guys suggested i make them bigger. the next available sub size is 14. before i post all the sub samples in a 720x480 pic size i am going to show you this uncropped sample of what size 14 looks like this is after encode and is how it will look on the dvd should i use 14. however i feel this size is overly huge. so you guys be the judge. here a screenshot from vlc of the full 16:9 pic with size 14 subs.
