We're stuck on episodes 11 & 12 for Smiling Pasta because a translator just dropped out and left us 4 empty slots to fill. Although new and existing translators have been asked to help fill in these parts, it will take us another few weeks to receive the complete set of translators for these episodes.
Testing subtitles position for Silence:
Since I don't have a widescreen TV, please test this sample video and let me know if this is a good setting for the subtitles. I know everyone with a DivX player just want to burn these straight out to DVD without re-converting it to mpeg to make DVD-videos, so let's get this right.

(I don't want to start encoding and re-encoding episodes 1 to 3 until I get a confirmation that this is the right setting to use.)
Someone mentioned that the subs on Vic's MV was cut off on the screen. It would be nice if someone can provide an image showing me how much of the subs were cut off on the left and right side. Thanks.
If you're making DVD-videos, you can add a border on the video while converting to mpeg. This can prevent the subs from getting cut off on screen (overscan). As for what size the border should be...you'll have to test this out yourself.
