Need help with syncing subtitle text

[jarod1005]

Greetings,,

What I need to know is how do I sync my subtitles with the audio language? I have been using MKV Merge, but to no avail, after muxing, the audio and text are not in sync. I use Formal Factory to hardcode the subtitles so that they will display on a DVD after burning.

I basically just need to sync the subtitles. Is Subtitle Edit my best bet for this?

Thanks.

That's what I use. The audio waveform display makes it a snap.

I use Potplayer-64 Bits, I time the subs and then I save the file, but keep an original copy.

I use Formal Factory to hardcode the subtitles so that they will display on a DVD after burning.

Normal people don't burn them into the video but make the subtitles selectable. Hardcoding subs unnecessarily degrades the video.

Where did you get these subs? There's a fair chance you have a PAL<->NTSC problem. That is, the subs may have come from one and need to be converted to the other. Perhaps with a delay added as well.

Did you try out JVRaines' suggestion? I also synch up subtitles by using an audio waveform (but using SubStation Alpha).

Subtitle Edit or Subtitle Workshop are good programs to help you sync your subtitles.

Thanks, I will try them all. I have subtitle edit and avidemux. The timing of the text and audio will be my toughest task.

Aegisub is what I use.
