    I'm sure this has come up here before, but maybe not in this exact context. Occasionally, in the course of using ConvertXtoDVD, I will attach a subtitle file (.SRT) to a film. And sometimes the sync with the spoken dialog is off -- usually too late, say by 5 to 10 seconds -- though I may have also seen it too early by a similar margin a couple times. This gets to be kind of annoying, when watching a whole movie. How do I go about getting the timing on the subs to line up much better ? I see a running timecode in the .SRT file, but adjusting all of those values would be very tedious. Is there some tool that can do this in one quick pass ?

  3. You can also get new subs from subscene.com or opensubs, Etc.

    Also, if your film is PAL & your subs are NTSC, you'd have to adjust for that with Subtitle Workshop.

    The latest example was a foreign film, so the source was likely PAL. The subs did come from opensubs. (There may be others out there.) It would be nice to have a guide for this procedure. I downloaded Subtitle Workshop, but none of the listed guides cover this.

    Another question: say you have the whole-film .SRT file, but want to apply it to some excerpt clips from the film. Short of guesswork on the relevant sections, then a lot of trial and error to match those up, how to proceed ?
