Hi, I need help. here is my story.
I watch SPIRITED AWAY last week, and decided to create a persian subtitle for it
first I rip subtitle with subrip
then translet it into persian in notpad and save it in Unicode ('Cause ANSI won't save persian characters)
it worked and now I have persian subtitles that can play on jetaudio or mpc
here's my problem. PERSIAN SUBTITLES WON"T APPEAR IN DVD PLAYER.
I decided to make them idx (my DVD players can show them)
BUT HOW CONVER SRT TO IDX AND SUB I use four program (avisub22, sub2divx, srt2sub and srt2bmp) but non of them can read persian characters and they show just junk ( I chanhe the font) but it didn't work. I appericiate your help. THX in ADVANCE.

Thanks manusse, but I have tried it already and I get this error "Error reading subtitle number 1.|[i](Input string was not in a correct format.).
I also tried Advanced Subtitler 1.4 and it actually read Unicode but instead of text (Persian characters) it just show "??????????????????????????".
changing the font won't work eather. I read in some of the topics that spme people successed to convert their Arabic SRT into bmp or idx/sub, but I do whatever they did (ARABIC and Persian are alot alike) and unfortuently without any success. anyway thanks for your answer, man.Act like a man! -
You can try MaestroSBT. There is a special version for unicode available. I'm not sure that MaestroSBT can save sub/idx, but there are enough converters around...

Could you please post the first 10 lines of your srt file so that I can have a look at it. Normally SubtitleCreator should be able to open it. (Post it to a file sharing site and put the link here).
Cheers

I solved the problem. Here is the solution:
I opened srt file in microsoft word and then saved it in "Arabic (windows)" and in ASNI. now this new saved file will show right character in suctitle workshop then I open it in sub2divx (a really nice program) and then select a persian font and IT WORKED (I just had a heart arttack) it show the right persian characters. Now I have my divx file with really nice persian subtitle. I also open this new srt file in subtitlecreator just for curiosity, it didn't that erore but it show all characters in junk I changed the font but it didn't work (it dosen't matter). but I uploaded the file for you (first 10 line) in you want to experiments:
spirited away subfa.zip - 0.00MB
thanks manusse and borax. it's good to have somebody help you!Act like a man! -
Hi,
I could open both of your srt files with SubtitleCreator. For the arabic windows one, you just have to select Format->Select Character Encoding->1256-Arabic and it works.
For the Unicode version, it's automatic.
However as I don't understand Arabic, I can't be sure they look fine.
Cheers

hi
how u saved opened file as "arabic windows"
in "save as" option on my office dont exist "Arabic windows" -
he saved in ASNI (as instead of unicode or UTF8)...you need to have installed arabic language in windows...

Downloaded the first subtitle found here:
http://www.subtitleseeker.com/0245429/Spirited+Away/Subtitles/Arabic/
Opened i Notepad++. Selected the encoding to Arabic -> Windows-1256 and converted to UTF-8. This subtitle plays in VLC and MPC-HC.
Opened the subtitle in Subtitle Edit and exported as IDX/VOBSUB. -
@videobruger This thread is five years old. eagletdw's hobby is digging up old threads that have already been answered and "updating" them.
