Yes. It is the written statement of the words spoken in the movie.

That is not bad at all. The Two Pass rendering in MF4 takes 1 hour for
a 10 minute clip. And then sometimes the audio is not in sync and
there are no subtitles because they were lost somewhere in the
process.

DVD Shrink has an authoring capability that is pretty nice and it does
not screw up the audio nor does it lose the subtitles. But it does not
have a menu capability - you have to access the individual clips using
Chapter search. That's not too bad if all you have is a few clips but
if you have a bunch you will have to write the names down to know
which one corresponds to a Chapter.

I understand that development of Shrink has stopped. That's really a
shame because it is one of the very few applications dealing with DVD
editing that is bug-free. Maybe the developer could be encouraged to
finish his masterpiece - it would not take much to add menus.
