Creating a Subtitle forum

I've been reading (and having myself) many questions about how to rip subtitles, or how to import subtitles to a project.

My suggestion is to open a specific forum to treat this subject, because now it's spread over the Advanced DVD user, the Video authoring and the General video forum.

I'd like to point out that non-english native speakers do care a lot about subs, because it's a good way to learn the language.

My 2 cents!

 

I dont know bout a forum although it would b good. If we cant get a forum on that mayb someone can create a guide on this specific thing soo we can just post a link to a guide like we do with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. What does any1 think???

 

Yes. Thanks k0k0m0 for bring this up. I think having subtitle fourm is very good idea. I posted some subtitle help last week and no one replyed. So it would be better so ppl who knows can answer my ?s.
My 2 cent.

 

For non-native english speakers (as I am, although I speak it fluently) subs are very important. I've tried to learn as much as possible, and there have been new problems popping up all the time. Thus I don't think it's that simple to write a guide which encompasses everything because there are over 20 different subs format, and I propose a forum therefore.

I hope some admin can give it a thought...

 

@k0k0m0

If thats the case im in total agreance then

 

I work with Subtitle Workshop for instance, and it has compatibility for over 20 different subtitle formats. Each of them is different, so imagine that there's no unique answer!

Perhaps it could be easier if all doubts were concentrated on just one forum....

Perhaps

 

So, any Admin likes the idea???

 

I think creating a subtile guide is a good idea to.

 

Since AD is seeking for Admins I'm afraid this idea will have to wait 'till then...

 

nooooooooooo. cause my parents is asian and i don't know how to put subtitle into a dvd.

 

Hi, I am using Vob2Sub to rip SVCD or CVD subtitles from SVCDs or CVDs.
The thing I get is a winsubmux compatible file i.e. a .sub file with reference BMPS (I get the BMPs, too). My problem is that I looking for a way to convert it to e.g. .srt or some format that will allow me to put the subtitles to a DVD. I did the subtitling myself on many movies (operas, actually) and never kept the original srt file (a text file). Now that DVDs have become cheap, I wish to use my subs on the DVD.
Please, help me. It's driving me mad, for I have searched and searched and found nothing.

A fellow aD user had posted this in another forum a while ago it may help u put subtitles in ur own movies u DL from the net. Give it a go and let me know....

Keep me posted...

 

Thanks a lot for the URL. But, it is of little help. I want to salvage my own subtitles to some Verdi's operas. It is unlikely to find them in the net (greek subtitles). Its very strange that there does not appear to be some software for converting winsubmux titles to format that can be imported to subripper.

@sipec
Have u done a google search on the topic like search greek movie subtitles or us the title of the movie puls subtitle... Im sorry im not really familar with subtitles but u can try anythin these days

 

Um. I need some help. I use clonddvd and anydvd to burn dvds. But where can i download the subtitle and insert it in clondvd to burn it?

 

Thanks again for trying to help. I am not interested in subtitles that can be downloaded from the internet; I only want to salvage my own. The stupid thing is that I did not keep the original srt files, for it never occured to me that I might wish to burn them in a DVD rather than a SVCD or CVD. In any case, I own the original DVDs, it is only about Italian operas and they have subtitles in other languages but, never in hellenic (greek). For some unknown to me reasons the companies that make them have all decided to ignore this language.
So, please, in case you or anyone else come across some program that can reverse the process, i.e., convert the SVCD or CVD subtitles to .srt or any other format, I shall be grateful.

By the way, I do not thing that CloneDVD can accept a separate subtitle stream and multiplex it to an existing movie. DVDauthor might do the job but, first one must demux (demultiplex) the vobs.
In any case, I am not the right person to give advice, for I am but a novice.

Efharisto!
Thanks for the link, I'll look into it.

Solution found, at last!

It is not free, though.
Lemony subtitler does a perfect job out of it. I have only tried the crippled shareware version and had to replace the comma with a a colon or period in the original .sub file created by winsubmux and then do some search and replace in the output file. The result was excellent. I got a scenarist compatible file referring to the BMP images.
