How to add subtitles to AVI?

[sepehr_s]

You can download text srt subs for many movies and tv-series from
http://www.divxstation.com
http://www.divxsubtitles.net
http://www.opensubtitles.org
http://www.subbiee.com
http://titles.box.sk

if you can't find it you must convert manually:

DVD to srt text subtitles:
Use subrip or dvdsubedit. (See guides below)

idx/sub to srt text subtitles:
Use subrip or subresync (included in vobsub) or AviDemux.


DVDSubedit guide:
Rip the DVD to your HDD using DVDFab Decrypter first.
Select File->Open full domain and select the first vob from the main movie, usually the first VTS_01_1.vob or the first 1 GB file


Select the subtitle stream you want to convert under Subpic selection at top right
Select OCR -> OCR selected subpics


Last save to a srt at the bottom right under Save as srt.
Edit the text in for example notepad to fix OCR errors.





Subrip guide:
In subrip:
1. Select File->Open Vob(s)
2. Click Open IFO and select the .idx or the VTS_XX_X.vob from the VIDEO_TS folder(if a commercial dvd rip it first to your HD with DVD Decrypter)
3. Select the Language stream
4. Select Subpictures to Text via OCR
5. Start.



Identify all characters manually.


Last save text file to a srt
1. File->Save as


Subrip problems:
If subrip wont work try an older version like subrip 1.16 or the latest beta.

what if we don't have a vob file of the movie and we only have Avi video format and idx/sub susbtitle but the movie and subtitle or not sync and how I can change the idx/sub to srt to change the susbtitle timing and sync it with the movie ?

Please don't hi-jack threads. Please don't resurrect long dead threads. Start a new thread for a new question.
Try to make your post more easily read by splitting it up in sentences, using punctuation and capitalization.
Converting sub/idx to .srt can be done with SubRip.
Trying to sync it against a movie it's not made for is worse. Tedious work using a subtitle editor (see tools left).
