Is subtitles conversion to D Cinema XML mandatory ?

[Clement657]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to know if it's mandatory to convert .srt files subtitles to D Cinema XML subtitles files before creating a DCP VF in DOM ?
Or in others terms : If I have .srt files subtitles, do they work on a DCP VF in a cinema projector ?

I was told that .srt files subtitles don't work with DOM to create a VF, and that I need to convert them to D Cinema XML subtitles. But I didn't see any information about that on the forum nor the manual, so I just though to directly ask conceptors and users!

thanks, regards,
