Hi there,

I am a complete newbie to the world of subtitling, so please, bear with me

I am practising on a video I have on a DVD that was burned by my potential client (someone I had already worked for in the past for some translation work).
When I copy the content of the DVD onto the hard disk you get a folder and inside you find some 4 .vob files (which make out the video as a whole) and two .BUP and .IFO files.
What I have done is to choose the file that contains the beginning of the video, put some subtitles on it using Jubler and now I was trying to embed them using, as advised, Avidemux. When I try to open the .vob file what I get is "This looks like an mpeg. Do you want to index it?" I say yes and the answer is: "There is several mpeg files, append them?" I say yes (for want of better things to say...), but the answer is in bold and reads: "can't open "/Users/andrea/Desktop/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB.idx":13 (Permission denied)
VIDEO_TS -> This is the folder where the file is
VTS_01_1.VOB -> This is the file itself.

Besides, it seems that other people can open .VOB files with Avidemux no bother...
Also, since I have more than one file, I need to make sure that when you play the DVD you can see it all (not sure whether I need the option to switch the subtitles off, but probably it would do no harm, however that's a problem for later )

One last thing, how do I know if I got the right download? I have
Avdemux_2.4.4._Gtk_Quartz_universal

Hope I managed to explain myself

Andrea
