    Hello!
    I have a Divx video clip that I would like to watch with a subtitle, but the subtitles are not really synchronized with the video. The subtitles shows a few seconds before. I wonder If I could modify the srt-file in some way to make it start a few seconds later without having to change all the individual times of the separate words and sentences? I mean, like inserting a pause first in the file and make a few seconds "blank" in the beginning where the subtitles are idle.

    Any tips?

    regards
    Anders

    Use Subtitle Workshop.

    Run Subtitle Workshop
    1 Load the Movie
    2 Load the .srt file
    3 Start the movie and pause at the time the dialog starts.
    4 Note the time the subs should be starting
    5 Note the actual time that they will start is out of sync - select the subs and highlight all.
    6 Click the double arrow key - the subs resync to the new start time.

    Play the movie and refine the time.
    When satisfied, 'File' > 'Save as' and select 'Subrip' as the format.
