... should give you some ideas.
Last time I used Encore, it was on a PC, and I think it was v1.0 that came bundled with some video capture board. No memories left. Now I use Sony DVD Architect, AVS4YOU or DVD Flick, depending on the project.
Anyway, AFAIK high-level subtitling (DVD authoring) programs use simple TXT-like subtitle files, containing only the in/out times and the subtitles text. All formatting is done on the subtitling program. One example here would be the defunct Ulead DVD Workshop.
On the other hand, low-level subtitling programs use complex subtitle files, like SSA and ASS, which contain all the info on font, size, position, color, style etc. These programs just embed the subtitles as per the settings in there. An example here would be the freeware DVD Flick.
Compare SSA x SRT subtitle files about 3/5 of the way down at [url removed]
