Captioning (subtitles) in Adobe Encore CS6

Hi,

I'm actually preparing a Bluray Disc with Encore CS6 and need to put subtitles in Persian letters (looking like Arabic et written from right to left). Althought Encore has the language in the list, it writes it from left to right as we do with latin alphabet. The problem is that there's no specific option inside the menus to chose right-to-left paragraph direction like in Premiere Pro CC.

Does anyone know how I can make Encore to recongnise a different writing system ?

Thank you very much !

I have never done this, but there are some threads that may help.

Worst case: use image subtitles in a script.

See this regarding Asian characters:

Well, I tried to bring image scripts instead, but there's an error which says that it's not a Unicode file and it sould be UTF-8 or UTF-16.

So I have two questions :

Do you have any idea of how to do that ?

And what are the other solutions for making DVD or Blu-ray Discs today ? Encore is apparently old fashioned but there sould be some newer softwares to replace it.


Generally, open in a text editor that allows you to change the utf type, and resave. But some users have had trouble getting that correct. The srt program may have options also.
