    I am unable to use the following sub, all contain negative timestamps. So I added a TIME OFFSET value, but still nothing shows. Anyone has any advice on how to fix this?

    # In millisecs
    fadein/out: 50, 50

    # Force subtitle placement relative to (org.x, org.y)
    align: OFF at LEFT TOP

    # For correcting non-progressive desync. (in millisecs or hh:mm:ss:ms)
    # Note: Not effective in DirectVobSub, use "delay: ... " instead.
    time offset: 01:40:24:080


    # ON: displays only forced subtitles, OFF: shows everything
    forced subs: OFF

    # The original palette of the DVD
    palette: 474747, f3f3f1, 141414, fdfdfd, e68f37, c55187, f9ff1d, 0000e1, 7c7c7c, e0e0e0, 701f03, 077307, 679365, dcd66e, 48ac78, f2efbe

    # Custom colors (transp idxs and the four colors)
    custom colors: OFF, tridx: 1000, colors: fdfdfd, 141414, f3f3f1, 474747

    # Language index in use
    langidx: 0

    # English
    id: en, index: 0
    # Decomment next line to activate alternative name in DirectVobSub / Windows Media Player 6.x
    # alt: English
    # Vob/Cell ID: 2, 1 (PTS: 0)
    timestamp: -01:39:40:080, filepos: 000001000

    Install Vobsub and use SubResync program to edit timing.
    First you have to check from movie the first subtitle time and write that to paper: eg. 01:02:03.045.
    You can eg. pick up the first sub and right-click it as many times you can see a green ball.
    Then set that one to 01:02:03.045 by left-clicking slowly and writing correct time. Other subs should follow the time change.
    Then save it with another name.

    I should have read the included .txt file in VobSub for instructions.
    Thanks for the tip, Pelttu, I got it to work now, cheers!
