creating subtitles?

[schunn99]

good day, fellow encoders,

I have a quick question,

I have a movie that does not have subtitles and I want to make them for this movie.
is there a program that will let me just input the start time, duration and the caption I want and it then does the rest? without learning all the little / and n 's and such?

is there a program that is that easy to use to make subtitles and that has a guide for it?

thanks for any help,
sincerely,

If it is a commercial movie, there are probably subtitles already available on the 'Net. Also, it depends on what sort of subtitles you want, and the format of your final version (DVD, AVI, selectable, etc.).

it not commercial dvd, it is a pirated copy of a newly released film, but it is very good quality. and I want to make subtitles for it , and since it is not a ogm file= no subtitles. and as far as quality, I am making a dvd so I want them selectiable too.
thanks,

subtitle workshop if you want to make the subs yourself...or sync other subs with the movie.
