you guys seem like you know how to find a truly good video, even if mine suck, would you care to give an OP? I want to know what you all will think of them.

But -- but -- it's not that hard to just crop them out!

I can understand why people want to use downloaded footage, but that really doesn't mean that they have to keep the subtitles in the video. It's not an issue of DVDs vs. other sources.

Yeah, you're prolly right about ignoring other people's perspectives, Seph.

Sure it's not that hard to crop them out, but I've come to know that when you do the video looks like hell

Exactly, that's why I don't crop subtitles. In my opinion, it makes the vid worse. It cuts out important visuals. I've learned to just filter out the subtitles in my head, so I really don't mind them much.

What kind of video are you making when your important visuals are on the small bottom portion of the screen?

Thats one heck of a focal point...

And how are they an important visual if they're covered with writing?

Let's just say that if half the screen is black/blurry/warped from cropping or transforming, it can detract a bit from the vid.

I still dislike subtitles, just to make sure you know

Writing is visual too.
