Can possibly work, but depending on movie content might not save all that much encoding.
- _Gyan_ 6y agoWhat would be much better would be to encode an overlay raster stream, which the player can then composite at runtime, like they do with text subtitles. Much faster to encode. Can be toggled. But players need to support it.
- danielheath 6y agoYeah, but the whole point of the exercise is to see subtitles on players that don't even support subtitles; they're definitely not going to support an overlay stream.
