    I have the most recent build of DVD Flick. When I attempt to add the subtitles, I receive the message, "The subtitle file is corrupt or unsupported by DVD flick"

    Am I missing something? I am able to open it in notepad and read the entire contents of the subtitles. This i smy first go at this. Is someone able to help please? Thanks

    I don't know much about DVD Flick, so tell me what your subtitle file is, as well as the subtitle formats that DVD Flick supports.

    If it's just a text file, it might actually be something like an srt file or something. How is the file organized? A typical srt file goes as such:

    <subtitle number>
    <beginning time>-<end time>
    <Subtitles>

    ex.

    1
    00:00:00-00:01:00
    This is the subtitle.

    2
    00:01:01-00:02:00
    This is the second subtitle.

    Or something like that. I dunno, tell me how the subtitle looks.

    It has ONLY timestamps starting with first text line 0:00:21.

    There is no <subtitle number>
    <beginning time>-<end time>
    <Subtitles>

    See what subtitle formats DVD Flick will accept. Then you could try using Subtitle Workshop to change your .txt (right?) file to a compliant format.
