Not directly. How are you creating your subtitles? SubRip (*.srt) or SubSonic (*.sub)? If so then can I presume you're ripping DVD's? If so you're in the wrong forum. We don't support piracy.

Creating your own is another matter, but most times I find using dedicated software that applies subtitles to an existing video file for the job. They have all the tools.

Tell us which it is.

Have you tried using VirtualDUB and its subtitler plugin for applying subtitles to existing video files? Both are freeware.

The VirtualDUB subtitle filter will acccept SSA subtitle scripts, which are another export option in Subtitle Workshop. It appears in Subtitle Workshops export dialog as SubStation Alpha.

http://virtualdub.org

http://www.virtualdub.org/downloads/subtitler-2_4.zip

One everything is installed (VirtualDUB to its folder and Subtitler.vdf to Virtual Dub's Plugins folder) you're ready to go.

Export your video file from whatever editor you're using then load it into VirtualDUB.

In the 'Video/Filters' menu select 'Add' then 'Load'. Now browse to the 'VirtualDub/Plugins' folder and load in 'Subtitler.vdf'. Select it from the filters list and click OK.

A new dialog will come up asking you to browse to the SSA subtitle file you exported from either SubStation Alpha or Subtitle Workshop. OK your way out to the main VirtualDUB screen.

Now you have the option of previewing or exporting. When the video is exported the subtitle will be keyed to the video and saved as a new file.

When using this technique I do NOT apply subtitles to DivX or XviD!! Quality WILL suffer. DV works well enough as do MJpeg, HuffYUV, uncompressed etc. Once the subtitle is applied you can render it to DVD MPEG.

I think, it is also possible under VS10 by using a UTF-file (Ulead title file?). This file is a text-file you can edit in a editor.
In the area for text-options you find two functions for loading and saving this files. I find this possibility in the german version of VS10 (Untertiteldatei laden / speichern). I hope this helps a little bit.

There may be no need to edit those files in a text editor.

The Subtitle Workshop program he has can save DVD Workshop 2 subtitle files, which I suspect are the same thing as the files *.utf files used in VS10, but with a *.txt extension.

Here is a section of the SSA demo I just saved from it in DVDWS2's format. If it looks familiar then this may save him a lot of work;

#Ulead subtitle format

The UTF-Files have a other structur:

1
00:00:01,399 --> 00:00:04,399
Start

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07, 519

Then he either edits VS10's format in Notepad, which IMO would be a pain, or he uses the VirtualDUB technique which gives you all the bells and whistles of a real subtitle editor and is free. That or he springs for DVD Workshop 2 and uses its subtitler.

thank you gays

I'll try to use the VirtualDUB frist

but I wish to understand the utf thing

I got that it is a modified type of subtitle files for Ulead

but I wish to know more

Thanks

You create a text-file like that in my posting above and save it in the editor with the ending xxx.utf. Than open VS10 and go to the text-options. There you can load the file and the text will place in the text-line at the time you write in the utf-file.

hussam_el_din · Post by **hussam_el_din** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:29 am

it seems that it like the srt files

can I just the extension from .srt to .utf???

Georg · Post by **Georg** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 12:21 pm

it does not work because inside is not the same succession.
