This may be a very basic question, but hours of searching Apple's developer's website and Google have proven fruitless. I am working on a project trying to add subtitles to a quicktime movie... in traditional and simplified Chinese. Ultimately these movies will be packaged in a projector using Macromedia DirectorMX.
Adding a subtitle text track in QT Pro is pretty basic using text descriptors and timestamps and then just importing a text file, but I can't find a list of parameters for the descriptors. Like the {textEncoding:} descriptor is supposed to handle different languages, but I can't find a list of languages and their corresponding numeric values. All I can find is that English=0 and Unicode=256.
There alre also all sorts of other problems, like is there any way to embed the font in the QT movie so it doesn't have to be installed in the end user's system (this is possible in DirectorMX, but will the QT movie be able to see that? It doesn't look like it can...) But if I could find a list of parameters for those descriptors, that might help...
Thanks.
