How can i make my own subtitles??

[Mauserman]

Hi guys!

I have this avi movie that i like a lot. I like it so much that i'm willing to spend some time to manually make subtitles for it. The problem is that i don't know how.

Is there anybody in this superb forum who can tell me what software i'm going to need, and perhaps a little guide on the subject?



pretty pleeeeaaaase!!

umm, well for 1 a VERY FAST computer
Virtual PC with XP Pro
Sub Station Alpha
And a shitload of time


You will just want to load the avi's mp3 or wav track into it, and go through typing the subs. For a 30 min TV show, it will take about 10-12 hrs to sub completely. Then you need friends to look through your work, and check for spelling errors, and such.

DVD Studio Pro 2 offers subtitle creation. Don't know how it works though...

Also, Textation X can be used to create subtitles.

I think a wise man once said "VPC solves nothing." I guess he was right.

substation alpha is way easier to use. You just select that audio part, and it creates the timecode for it. Its very, very tedious work.
