I don't like remembering complex technical names so I just keep track of the sub's extension. The following list collects almost all formats available currently .ass, .dks, .txt, .psb, .sst, .sub, .son, .stl, .srt, .ssa, .tts, .vsf, .zeg, .jss, .scr, .mpl, .pjs, .smi, .sami, .rt, .txt + .sub, .idx + .sub and others.

Some movie subtitles may appear in the black letterboxing below the movie image. If you use automated screen masking, the subtitles may then be obscured by the mask. The Kaleidescape System now offers the option of repositioning subtitles within the movie image.

You should see a green arrow shaped icon in your systemtray (right-bottom of your screen). That is DirectVobSub. Right-click on that icon to enable or disable the subtitles.

Subtitles can only be placed on top of the video. Placing the subtitles below the original video is possible by enlarging the video frame. This is done by adding black bars to the top and bottom of the video. These black bars will be visible when the video is not in fullscreen. They are different from black bars that are only visible during fullscreen playback. Those are not part of the video frame and thus can not be used to put the subtitles onto.

No. Subtitles are stored as images, not as text, on DVDs. The Kaleidescape System cannot change the color, font or size of subtitles.

We are currently in the process of testing a subtitle system for our hearing impaired users and those without soundcards. It should be up and running soon!

You need to SET UP the disc by selecting SET UP from the Picture This DVD main menu. There you can choose which subtitles or closed-captions you would like to appear. In most cases, you can also choose none. From this menu you can also select between regular 2-channel stereo (2.0) or 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound (5.1).

To load subtitles, simply put the video file and the subs/script in the same folder, and have their names matched. Example if the renamed of your video file is tutorial.avi, then your script file will be tutorial.ass

Subtitles are inserted on a tape, similar to the way open captions are inserted, using a Chyron Codi. You do not need a decoder to see subtitles.

A good resource for finding subtitles for Asian movie DVDs which come without subtitles is Kloofy's. You'll need a plug in like Direct VobSub to be able to use them though - much more info is available at Kloofy's. Yes, and probably not. DVDs are encoded into regions; relevant here are regions 1 (US and Canada), 2 (Europe) and 3 (South-East Asia). A significant number of films here are only available in region 3 versions.

While you are streaming an episode, if you see a "T" icon on the flash player, it means that external subtitles is available for this episode. What this means is that you can turn the subtitles on or off simply by clicking on the "T" icon.

Yes, with Cinematize 2 Pro you can easily create movie clips with subtitles. To do this, simply select the subtitle track you want and select "Decode to QuickTime" under the Subtitle tab. The rest of the settings are the same as for a normal clip. Subtitle decoding is not supported in Cinematize 2.

You should see a white icon in your systemtray (right-bottom of your screen). That is Haali Media Splitter. Double-click on that icon to view its options. You can also get to the options by clicking on the Haali Media Splitter shortcut in the start menu. Once you are in the Options screen, click on 'Languages'. There you can set the preferred language(s) for audio and subtitles. The language should be input using a three character code, for example eng for English.

English movies do not contain subtitles unless it is stated clearly. However, most of our Chinese movies contain English subtitles.

Subtitles. Because I like hearing foreign languages spoken. I think it adds a whole new layer to the whole viewing experience to hear the intonations and sounds of the native language in which a film was made. This doesn't just apply to anime. I prefer subtitles for any foreign language movie I see.

The current DVD subtitle support allows the subtitles to be displayed, but neither at the correct time nor for the correct duration.

The DVD's being reviewed are all Region 1 encoded, and the intended audience for this site is the US and Canada, under the assumption that everyone reading this site can understand English. As such, I only make note of audio tracks in other languages when English is not the original language of the movie, and in such a case, I will list the various languages available on the disc.

If you have added subtitles to your project but you cannot see them, press the "subtitle" button on your DVD player's remote control. This should activate the subtitles.

Then create a captions.xml file in the same folder as config.xml: <captions> <content> <m t="2.0"/> Hi. I'm Preston Austin, founder and chief architect <m t="6.0"/> of Clotho Advanced Media. We're the creators of the <m t="8.0" /> MediaLandscape Software that you can use to convert <m t="11.0" /> the output from your Mediasite instrument into a Flash format. </content> </captions>

If you want to copy, delete, italicise or otherwise format a group of subtitles (or even a complete subtitle file), choose Quick View from the Subtitle menu, select the subtitles you wish to change (using Ctrl + Left Click or Shift + Left Click) and then click the appropriate command.

In the ?Technical Details? section of the page for each listing is a field highlighted as ?Subtitles?; here you should find listed all the available subtitles for the DVD in question. Please note that for many pre-release products few details regarding subtitles are confirmed by the studio responsible until the release date is very close. We strive to display these on the site as soon as this information becomes available for the benefit of our valued customers.

The number and nature of subtitles vary from disc to disc and are entirely at the behest of the studio producing that particular DVD. If you can?t find the subtitles you?re looking for in the ?Subtitle? field of the ?Technical Details? section, chances are they?ve not been included on the disc!

This is by far the most frequent question. What I have to say is that what you want to do does not have anything to do with Subtitle Workshop. The program is not meant for this task and never will. It can only handle text based subtitles and cannot "attach" them to any video. However, this does not mean there is no way to achieve this task, it only means that you can't do it with Subtitle Workshop (although it can help a bit).

Another of the most frequent questions. Subtitle Workshop does not do the full job, but it can help a bit. You need additional software to achieve this task. Check this guide. Note that any comments/suggestions/error reports of the guide must be addressed to the author of it, who has no relationship at all with URUSoft.

The default Windows selection schemes work under Subtitle Workshop. Hold the [Ctrl] key and then click all the subtitles you want to select. If you want to select many subtitles that are together, select the first one, hold the [Shift] key and select the last one. If you wish to de-select a selected subtitle, hold [Ctrl] and click it. Sure. Double click in the error report and you will be instantaneously transported to the line in the main list.

Just make sure they will be visible from a distance. The finalists screen on a giant screen outdoors for a lot of people — so make sure the subtitles are larger than normal to compensate. Add a slight drop-shadow or stroke so they stand out.

If this option is enabled, when you open a movie file ViPlay will search for subtitles starting with the movie name in the specified folder (if any) and in the folder of the original movie.
