Yes, they're extremely low-resolution bitmaps that are limited to a total of 4 colors, one of which is reserved for transparency (another is usually used for antialiasing, but that leaves you with only one fill color and one border color, so a lot of DVD's skip the antialiasing and use two fill colors instead).


Edit: debating translation best practices and translation quality in fansubs versus in R1 DVD's has been done from death to purgatory and hell and out through its back door already. It won't matter, because the fact is that fansubs are frequently (by a majority of downloaders?) perceived as better than R1 DVD's. As long as this is the case, the R1 industry is steadily marching towards its inevitable collapse. Piracy when the pirated product is of worse or at best equal quality to the purchased variant is one thing; piracy when the pirated product is perceived as significantly better AND is free is another.
