SubTitles editing and synchronisation. Want a suitable soft.

[plomon]

hi there,

I ripped a few DVD Chapters along with the audio and the subtitles using the DVDDecrypter. Finding the subtitles coming up on the screen before the vocal even starts, I decided to edit the subtitles and then synchronize them correctly.

So, following the guides given by Paddington, TheMatrixx and Erik Vullings(all these guides are almost the same), I demuxed the .IFO and .VOB files to get one .m2v and .ac3 files each, and two .sup files.

Here's a screenshot of the ripped files on my HDD:



Further following the guide(s), they stated that these .sup files can be synchronized and edited using the Subtitle Workshop and then saved as *.srt files or *.sub files, and thereafter can be put back together(i.e., audio, video and subtitles) using ifoedit or rejig.

Here comes the real twist. This is what happened after I ripped, and demuxed the files:


In order to convert into *.srt or *.sub files, the *.sup files should first of all open in the Subtitle Workshop software. This isn't happening. The .sup files(neither are the originally ripped .ifo files) are not supported by Subtitle Workshop for the purpose of being opened and edited. So, how the hell can I convert them into *.srt or *.sub formats without firstly opening them. This is a very confusing(perhaps wrongly directed) guide.

There are three guides which explain the subtitle editing, given under the heading "Other DVD Backup guides, DVD to HD, Subtitle" in the HOW TO DVD Backup section :

1.) Rip and add new Subtitles to a DVD with SubtitleCreator by Paddington

2.) How To Backup a DVD and Add new Subtitles to the DVD using DVD-Lab Pro by TheMatrixx

3.) How to backup and add new subtitles to a DVD by Erik Vullings

Amongst the above three, the first and third guides only help out in editing the subtitles(check out if u want).

The first and third guides both use VobEdit for extracting .sup subtitle streams, and use Subtitle Workshop for editing the subtitles and thereafter saving them as *.srt or *.sub files(SubRip format).

But, in order to edit the subtitle files i.e., *.sup files(extracted by VobEdit), the Subtitle Workshop must open them first of all, which it doesn't do. So, the question of editing and saving them as *.srt or *.sub doesn't even arise.

Now, my question is how do I edit the subtitles(which I firstly ripped and saved as .ifo and .vob files on hdd, then demuxed them into .sup files using vobedit) of my ripped DVD on HDD using subtitle workshop or any other software that u want to suggest me.[/i]

I am not sure if Subtitle creator can load and synchronise sup files.
