Isn't there a problem with BMP subtitles when you do a KDVD that is not in the same resolution than the original DVD one ?

Be carefull ! The problem is perhaps not noticiable if you use 704*576 but if en encode in 352*576, I wonder if DVDLabo Pro will resize the bitmap correctly or not

I don't know it.
It deserves a test.
Not problem when I encoded 704*576 (until now always).
