Newbie needs help in adding subtitles

[Drelletje]

Hi all
I want to add subtitles to a movie (Ichi the Killer) that is in 2 parts. The subtitles are one file. Do I need to join the 2 movie files before starting the process?
Thanks!!!

If the two files can fit in a single CD then it is better to merge into one.
Otherwise if the merged file is large then split the SUB file. Take care that the second SUB file should be adjusted for its start time and end time to be synchrnized with the movie. Use SubAdjust or SubSych for this. (I actually these tools does not support the Philips type sub file. So I used my own java utility program to adjust the time. It works great.)

If this is your first attempt to add SUB then try to burn in CDRW that will save you some cds.
