Two-line subtitles?

Looks like you can only export single-line subtitles from Vegas for input into DVDA.

Anyone know if the .sub filetype spec includes some way to specifiy multi-line titles, and if so, if DVDA knows how to deal with it? If there's some magic escape sequence, I could put it into the subtitle file.

I know that it's possible to edit the titles individually in DVDA, but it would be very nice not to have to do that.

There is, but it's really difficult.

You have to open the SUB file and hit the "Enter" key where you want the line to break. ;-)

Actually just figured this out myself, but it does work. (Not with the Vegas Region List format, though.)

Great! I can write a little program to go through the file and replace occurrences of some useless character like "\" with a CRLF! Be nice if Sony could make this into a FEATURE...

Thanks, Rob.
