Create subtitles from scratch

[Chatable]

Hello,
I have written subtitles for a self made video. Now I'm looking for the best way to sync them to the video. Obviously tools that insert delays and do framerate conversions won't be much help.
Do you know of a good tool that does easy subtitle-to-video sync, without me having to manually type the start time and end time of each subtitle?
I know there's a feature in Subtitle Studio called "Scenarist Mode" that does this but unfortunately it has no pause or correction feature, meaning that if I make *any* mistake I have to start all over.
Any recommendations for a better solution?

Subtitle Workshop does easy subtitle-to-video sync.
You have 3 buttons at the right end of the toolbar. Use the help file to learn how to use this feature.
You have to have text and timings for each subtitle line to use this feature.
If you do not have timings, then you have to enter timing values manually during video preview.
Creating from a scratch is easy in DVD Architect.

Well, obviously, as I've just created the subtitles, I don't have any timings at all, so any "adjustment" features cannot be used.
As I said above, a tool called Subtitle Studio has a feature called "Scenarise Mode" - It simply plays the movie. You press [SPACE] to start a subtilte and [ENTER] to hide it, then you press [SPACE] again to start the next subtitle and so on. This makes sync-ing very easy.
Unfortunately this feature lacks a very important sub-feature. The Scenarist Mode player has no playback controls at all - You cannot pause the movie or correct any mistakes. Meaning - If you ever get disturbed while timing your subtitles you have to start all over from the beginnig of the movie.
I'm looking for this exact same feature but with the ability to correct mistakes.
Also, does anyone knows of a subtitle editor that allows to open movies in which the video and audio are two separate files (m2v and wav)?

That "Scenarise mode" which you mention exists in Subtitle Studio - you have a similar mode in Subtitle Workshop, so you do not have to type timings manually.
You have 2 buttons in SW toolbar, 2 arrows, to assign the start time and the final time of each subtitle line, during video preview.
Those commands can be used with keyboard shortcuts ALT+C and ALT+V, so it's quite easy. Each time you assign a final time to a subtitle line, the programm will automatically switch to the next subtitle line.

I know of 2 subtitle editors which allows to open movies in which the video and audio are two separate files.
One is the subtitle editor inside BSplayer pro, and one is DVD Architect.
I'm not sure how those would handle m2v, so it would be better to use your source video during subtitle timing.
