Hello,
I have a question about adding 2nd subtitles into an existing DCP.
I received a dcp in OV in French with embedded subtitles in English. I
would like to keep the English subtitles and add Czech subtitles.
This is how I tried to proceed (but it did not work): I created a new
folder, then added files of existing DCP, then I added the new file with
subtitles and place it so that it does not hide the original subtitles.
Then I make the DCP. The problem is that when I play the new DCP the
video is with both subtitles but there is no sound.
Can you help with that?
Thank you!

Your only problem is the sound? DCP-o-matic can't (yet) use the audio
MXF files, and looks like that's what you tried to do. If you open the
DCP folder instead of the individual MXF files it may work.
Now, if you were my client, I would strongly suggest going in a
different way, specially if you have the clean image available without
french subtitles. Not two separate DCPs with one version each, but a
single DCP with all four already available versions:
1) original without subtitles
2) english subtitles
3) czech subtitles
4) english plus czech subtitles (Ideally adapting the translation at 1
line per language to avoid up to 4 subtitle lines. We can dream! :)

Hi Vojtěch,
Try adding the DCP using "Add folder...": Click "Add folder..." then
choose the existing DCPs folder. After this, add your subtitles and it
should be ok.
Also remember that there is never any sound in DCP-o-matic's preview, so
don't worry if it's not there: it should be ok in the theatre (though you
should test it, of course!)
Let us know if you have problems.
Kind regards,
Carl
