Oh wow, these subs appear like a pain in the ass. Carl was right when he feared that adding export could become a nightmare on it's own.

Hi Carl, please pardon my 001952 mistaken entry which even confused Carsten!
In fact this text and image are related to the 'Standalone Player behaviour' only, not at all to the DCP export function. Could you erase it, I will post a new bug report.

For sure this long sought-after feature was a hard nut to crack but now DoM 2.11.40 WORKS:

• the DCP to Prores subtitle irisation looks like the 'false colors and blocking' Carsten was talking about the 02 Jan '18 and will be solved with it.
• the DCP to MP4 converter is practically perfect. The remaining 'shadow' to 'outline' glitch is a non issue
  considering the benefits of this tool that only DoM offers to the DCP community.
  A deep thank you,

So we think we can close this?

as far as the mp4 converter is concerned, yes.

so, when opening the Export job, would you place the H 264 conversion as default
and Prores second ?

tested with '42, ProRes is OK
(no more irisation) so yes you could close the case

Great, thanks.
