I finished re-lip-syncing the problem areas of Nesca, which meant all but two of the 25 files that make up the video had to be re-encoded for DVD. The final four will be done by tomorrow evening. I also saw fit to cut out about 18 more seconds, giving Nesca 1.7 a svelte new runtime of 59:55. Feel the burn!

Barring any other possible renevations striking my fancy, the final authoring of ReDeath, FBBB and Nesca begins tomorrow.

Alrighty then, FBBB (both cuts) and Nesca are now subbed. During the tedious process, I noticed a few more glitches and timing quirks I want to polish and that’s what I’ll be doing over the next week. Nothing major, but it does mean I will have to redo the MPEG-2 encoding for those scenes. And retime the subtitles. But even that’s not a big deal since there’re only two edits I’m considering that affect timing. The rest of the subs simply have to be shifted around that, which I can do all at once. And that’s only for the FBBB director’s cut, Nesca’s issues are purely technical. Also, the soundtrack for the original cut of FBBB is slightly off, so I’ll be adjusting that as well.
