Well you're both very right.

Some reasons I'd rather play a DCP, even made from DVD :

- I have to project that dvd in subtitled original version and I have no option in my dvd player to resize those subtitles,

- external sources are not controlled nor scheduled by the TMS and this projection includes two features for one show,

- the quality won't get worst neither better (until now I've never heard complains about the many DCPs I've projected,

- I'm quite geek and so curious about the result I'll get ;-)

Anyway I highly appreciate any comments and pieces of advice, thanx :-)

We project DVD and Blu_Ray stright from the disks to our 2k projecter and get great results. Making DCP seems a little OOT.

I know, nothing to do with subtitles‎, but sometimes, we need reminding of the little things.

Sorry (happy) to butt in!

Just activate the subtitles in the corresponding tab, you can choose
which subtitle stream will be burnt in, if there is more than one
available.
