basically, can you easily write subtitles to a movie just by watching a movie then typing up the words as there said? if there isnt anything like that then can someone jut give me a link to some well worded search so i can at least find a starter post to learn this stuff.
try 'subtitle workshop' or 'media subtitler'. You'll be able to watch as you type. It's still rather time consuming in my (limited) experience, and I don't really know which program is the better one.
A little searching of this forum would have brought you to this thread "Writing and adding subtitles", less than 10 days old and still sitting on the first page, only eight threads below yours: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/383422
Oh, sorry. The search rarily gets me to a helpful thread(maybe I just dont ever use the right words). And thanks iago0, I'll go look into those.
