Sorry for being such a noob. I have subtitles for a movie but they are in a .sub format. I wanna convert them to .srt format so I can edit them. What programs to use and a step by step guide is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, I've got same problem, .SUB file about 2.9MB and little .IDX file. I tried SubRip but it seems to only want to deal with VOBs. How do you open the .SUB file? I just want to convert to .SRT so I can use it in VirtualDub.
When you fire up SubRip, up the top just below the menu bar are a couple of icons, a DVD icon and one that kind of looks like writing. Click the writing one, it should bring up a panel down the bottom where the subtitles can be read. Next, open up the subtitle file you want (File->Open in that same panel). Next, there is a little icon that looks like a puzzle piece in that same panel again. Click on that, and select the format you want them to be saved in. Click the button with the tick. Save as whatever you want, should be good to go after that.
K, I did that, but the open dialog box only gives option for .srt, nothing else. Are there newer versions of SubRip that are more flexible? Mine is 0.97 I think. Sonething doesn't seem right... I don't have any trouble encoding nice video or sorting out audio nightmares so why should something so stupid as subtitles come and bite me on the bum?
I have v1.06B, but looks like it is still being improved, 1.50B is current version by the looks of it. Look here: http://zuggy.wz.cz for homepage. I am able to select from .sub as well as .srt in my open file dialog box, so probably is a newer feature than in your version.
Thanks guys. Useful stuff for me since I am getting interested in asian movies and need some tweeking in their subs.
Follow the instructions of my first post in here. Try experimenting too, you don't always get everything you want around here by just demanding it.
Sorry, I'm new ^-^ Following instructions. When I loaded up my subtitles, it said it overlapping 3x or something.. I don't understand.. x_o
Well, I ended up doing it with SubResync. Wasn't all that hard. That's after I finally got it opened with SubRip (v. 1.50), went through all the converting nightmare and still ended up with something I couldn't use. Then somehow I discovered that SubResync will open an idx, convert it and can save it to .srt which is what I wanted. Not only that, but I hardly had to do any corrections after helping it thru the ocr bit, whereas with SubRip I had to manually edit nearly EVERY line, which wasted a lot of my time, in view of the fact that I still had nothing I could use. I now have new respect for SubResync. Anyhow, thanks for all the input, guys.
