Are Captions Burned into the Image of Studio Ghibli Fest Releases or are the Caption Files Separate?
Hi, I manage a small indie one screen theater and we’re gonna be playing “My Neighbor Totoro” from Fathom’s Studio Ghibli Fest. Our projector is outdated and will be replaced in September and we discovered back in the winter that it’s incompatible with newer captioning files. So, we haven’t been able to provide captioning on any films unless a hard drive we get doesn’t use the new file type and has subtitles burned into the film’s image already (for example we had one for “Fanny and Alexander” from Janus that had them burned in).
I’m trying to see if I can figure this out before I get the hard drive because I want to announce whether the screenings will be sub or dub if I can since people have their preferences (I’m usually on the sub side of things).
If anyone who’s loaded a HD for Studio Ghibli Fest films this year knows about this, please give me your insights! Thanks!
