Alphonse Capone – who would come to symbolize all that was wrong with America in the 1930’s – was born on January 17, 1899, the son of Italian immigrants Gabriel and Theresa. The boy, one of nine children, grew up on the mean streets of the New York slums. Here young Italian gangs continued the ethnic rivalries of the mother country and young Alphonse was soon involved in the vandalism and street fighting common to gang life. He become a feared member of the Forty Thieves Juniors at the age of eleven – renowned for his large size as well as his hot temper. Though a capable student, Alphonse got expelled from school at age fourteen for assaulting his teacher.


Now able to focus completely on gang life, Capone graduated to the adult Five Points gang, where he became involved in gambling, prostitution, extortion and protection rackets. At the age of sixteen, he got into a fight at the Harvard Inn after trying to chat up another hood’s girl, and received three slashes to his face from a knife. From then on he became known as ‘Scarface.’


In December, 1918, Capone married Mae Coughlin. Their first child, Albert was born around the same time. Shortly thereafter, Al had a confrontation with an Irish gang leader by the name of Finnegan. The Irishman was going around insulting Italians and Al decided to teach him a lesson. He beat the man nearly to death. The Irish gangs were furious and let it be known that Capone’s life was in danger. It was decided that Al should lay low for a while and so he took his family to Chicago.


Settling into the Italian gang scene in Chicago, Al was given a position at the Four Deuces, an establishment headed by an old New York friend, John Torrio. It was 1919 and a new underground business venture was beckoning – Illegal distribution of liquor. Torrio, however, was hampered in his attempts to get in on this action by his own boss, Big Jim Colisimo, who was happy to continue with his existing operations without venturing into new areas. Torrio arranged for new boy Capone to do something about the problem and May 11, 1920, Colisimo was shot dead. John Torrio was now the head of the largest gang in Chicago. His second in command was Alphonse Capone.


Capone was now rich and powerful but he still had the explosive temper which got him thrown out of school six years earlier. During the early twenties, Chicago saw crackdowns on gang activity by the Mayor, but also increasing collusion with the police. The gangs began combining under Torrio but this led to many rivalries. On January 24, 1925 John Torrio was gunned down outside of his home. He survived, but decided he had had enough of gang life. He handed control over to Capone.


Capone engaged upon a campaign of violence in order to gain total control of the Chicago gangland. He would arrange for the murder of rival gang leaders one by one. Over the next two years a vicious gangland war ensued. When the smoke cleared, Al Capone was the man left standing.


By 1927 Capone had reached celebrity status. He was invited to major social functions that were normally out of bounds for criminals. He was worth millions of dollars and his power was absolute. By paying attention to the poor and downtrodden of Chicago – even opening soup kitchens – he was seen as a romantic Robin Hood figure by many. The authorities, however, were beginning to put the pressure on Capone and his operations.


On February 14, 1929 the notorious St. Valentines Day Massacre occurred, in which Capone’s henchmen, dressed as police officer’s, mowed down seven members of rival Bugsy Moran’s gang. This ruthless mass murder galvanised the police in their efforts to get Capone. About this time Capone discovered a plot to overthrow him from within his own organization. He personally beat the three perpetrators with a baseball bat before having them shot to death. Deciding to lay low for a while, Capone struck upon the novel idea of having himself arrested on a minor charge and spending a couple of months in jail. The authorities, however, seized their opportunity and on the petty charge of carrying a concealed weapon he was given a years imprisonment.


By the time of his release on March 17, 1930 the authorities had a new weapon against Capone. A law had recently been passed to the effect that illegally earned income was taxable. The IRS could now be used against the underworld. Al Capone was the focus of IRS operations and in the summer of 1930 they had their first breakthrough when one of Capone’s minor players, Edward O’Hare decided to do a deal with them. The second breakthrough came with the surfacing of a set of accounts that had been seized during a raid years before. The books showed that Capone did indeed have an income.


Capone was arrested and the scene was set for the most celebrated trial of the century. Initially Capone pleaded guilty, expecting a light sentence. In an unprecedented move, however, the trial judge announced he would not be bound by any such deal. The guilty plea was then revoked and a new trial date set.


Of the twenty three counts against him, Capone was found guilty of just five. But that was enough for him to be sentenced to 11 years imprisonment. The most notorious gangster in history was going to jail for tax evasion.


Capone tried to be a model prisoner but became involved in several prison fights, once being stabbed with a pair of scissors. In the late 30’s he began to display signs of mental instability. He spent the rest of his prison term in hospital. He was released from prison on 16 November, 1939. He lived out his last years in peaceful ill health, dying of a heart attack on January 25, 1948.

I didn't answer couse I dont know, still a n00b here ( that's me )

but if u ever get the answer, plz post it, might be handy....

[mats.hogberg]

Yes you can. You have to demux the DVD, get the subs you want, if needed convert it into a format your DVD authoring application understands (I use IfoEdit, which uses subs in the .sup format) and then reauthor the DVD, using original video and audio + new subs.

Mats, I'm having the same problem, but you seem to know what your talking about, so I will present my question to you.

My fiancees mother gave me a DVD that she wanted me to modify. Basically, she doesnt understand English very well, so she asked me if I could put in Russian subtitles only in specific parts.

I already have the russian subs, however, my question is this.
I have already demuxed the DVD video (720x480, 29.97 fps, non-interlaced, 16:9 display) and audio (6 channel ac-3 and 2 channel ac-3 Dolby Digital). Now, heres the problem.

What the hell do I do to add the subtitles in?

I use TMPGEnc to encode usually, and DVD-lab to author.

Im willing to learn new programs (Like any subtitle applications) and even new DVD authoring tools. Please help me, it would mean a great deal to both my fiancee and her mom.

Thanks in advanced.

P.S. - I apologize for hijacking the topic, but its a very similar problem Im having. I do apologize.

[Tommyknocker]

Actually, since you are discussing the same topic, in my opinion, the topic is still "flying on course". What format are the subtitles in right now?

[The-Witchking]

Hey Tommy, here's the deal.

The movie is "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers". I need to basically convert the ELVISH subtitles into russian. Now, they arent actual subtitles, so theres nothing for me to 'edit'. Theyre bitmaps embossed over the video.

As for the russian subtitles, I only have the russian typed up in a word document. From there, I have no idea what else to do next, and here's why. I was trying to use Subtitle Workshop, however, whenever I try type the subtitles IN russian, it comes out like this:

"? ???? ?? ????? ?????"

Ive enabled cyrillic (The font used for russian)

BUT, when I saved, it was in ULead DVD Workshop 2.0 format. Other than that, I have no idea what the hell to do now.... Im lost, so any help would be appreciated.

Try SubtitleStudio or SubstationAlpha to create/edit your subs. You should save as (or convert to) .srt from Subtitle Studio. Then you use srt2sup to convert it to IfoEdits subtitle format, and author it (together with your m2v and ac3) to dvd.
