How do you find subtitles Packs for ConvertXtoDvd ?

[download]

I am new at subtitling movies/anime I have download the above program and it has no subltitles packs thingys in it.

If any one could give me some adive or tell me a easyer program that would be great. I have ,avi files.

The language is Japanese I need to translate from .

I had download Verdub but I had no idea how to work it, so I deleated it,

I've only had to translate subs 2-3 times.
One time i just worked with notepad on the srt.
The other I used subtitle workshop. it's nice the way you have your original and translated subs side by side (if you have another sub file to work off that is). The pain was after, post editing missing lines, changing display durations etc.
You can also play the movie if i remember and write the subs as you go, stop-pausing.
But I think there are other apps that do that better, can't remember.

No program automatically translates spoken language and creates subtitles for you. You can either create them yourself using something like subtitle workshop, or you can try to find existing subs in an appropriate format, such as srt.

what are the formats can someone explain them to me.
Eg .srt

[45tripp]

srt (subrip)
it's a text format subtitle
with subtitle number sequenced, sub timings, actual sub text, line break to next sub.
thus:

1
00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:04,095
Subtitle

2
00:00:22,739 --> 00:00:24,574
one two three

3
00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:26,743
four five six

4
00:00:37,045 --> 00:00:38,421
hello compadre

I sort of get that. what are the other types of formates ?

[guns1inger]

There are many different subtitle formats. If you want to find out about them all, start with subtitle workshop and have a read of the help files and look at all the formats it supports. Most authoring tools support only a small subset of these.

Subtitle Workshop is probably the best place to sart if you want to create your own subs as well.

[45tripp]

Workshop is for text based subs only.

SRT is universal.
you could use ssa if you where to be viewing on a computer and wanted to add more flavour.

I don't see any reason to even know about the other text based sub formats.

then there's binary, like you need for dvd authoring.
you can convert a text based sub file to binary.
dvd authoring apps usually can import some type of text based sub. If it's not in the format you have you can use workshop to convert.
People used to use vobsubs with anime.

There is no such thing as "...subtitles Packs for ConvertXtoDvd".
Subtitles are downloaded from subtitle sites like:
http://titles.box.sk/
http://www.opensubtitles.org/en
http://subtitles.images.o2.cz/
and this one is a subtitle search engine:
www.subbiee.com/
which is very good - when available.
