How Do I Use Subtiles in a dvd authoring program? (Sonic MyDVD)

[Goldman123]

It says it doesnt support the usual subtitle files, any help?

[mats.hogberg]

Doesn't the manual say?

Nope

[Goldman123]

Any Help?

[mats.hogberg]

It says it doesn't support "the usual subtitles", but doesn't go on and say what it supports?!? Sorry - someone familiar with MyDVD has to pitch in, as I've no idea!

Well figured something out.

Any1 know how to convert .srt to .txt?

[Goldman123]

Figured it out.

Can some1 tell me what program tells me all the information on the .sub/.srt File?

[mats.hogberg]

AFAIK, a srt basically just contains the text to display along with when to display it:

10
00:00:52,072 --> 00:00:57,575
This is the text
to display

"10" is the order of the text
Then a line with when to display and when to remove the text. This is on at 52 seconds and 72 thousands and off at 57 seconds, 575 thousands.
Then the text itself.
Sometimes, you see an ... around the text too - that's italics, but not all players use it. I mostly delete all these. That's all there is to a .srt really.

Well I mean like font size and stuff, because on Sonic DVDit Pro 6, the subtitles come out all messed and you have to configure the subtitles in the program. Like height width and all that stuff

[mats.hogberg]

srt doesn't contain any info about font, weight, size, positioning and stuff - it's totally up to the application that renders them.
