Hardsubs are generally a bad idea, because they cover part of the picture in a destructive way, and they're virtually not extractable, editable or removable. ( SubRip has an option to extract hardsubs but it's still in a very early stage, it's easier to copy them by hand.) Also hardsubs could be any...

one more method, using subresync that comes with the good old VSFilter tools by Gabest: - open CD1 subtitle file with subresync (if it's a .sub, select the right framerate in the "Fps" field) - in the edit window, click on "Open..." - in the "Open" window, select CD2 su...

I corrected these subs, uploaded by myself 6 weeks ago, and now I cannot disable the original upload -- the "edit" and "disable" links are just not there. When I tried to build the URL like this: http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/admin/a-disable_sub/idsubtitle-3119642 , I got a &qu...

English subs are often slow to come out, even for TV shows where you can rip the captions from the TV signal and with some editing you're done. I've noticed that some translators' groups get English transcripts or subtitles within 1-2 days after the release, but don't publish them because they want ...

No chance... I've been searching them all over the net. I'm too lazy to do them, so I guess we'll have to wait til the DVD comes out in September

The fact that Subdownloader blocks Unicode is a problem for many languages. With ANSI-encoded "special" (non-US-ASCII) characters you always need to set the correct encoding manually when you open them, and there are several possible encodings for each language/script/alphabet. The encodin...

Yes, would be great to have that. Maybe even detect all subtitle files for that video in the local folder, and present them in a table-like form so you can verify the data and submit them en bloc? 2 minor corrections: - Vobsub doesn't require a dot between movie name and language (or whatever), so t...

Wow, that's great news. I wish I could help but coding Directshow filters isn't exactly my specialty...

The problem with Subtitle Workshop is that it doesn't handle style tags (<i>, <b>) properly - it often formats the whole line instead of only what is enclosed by the tag. Another problem (not with Italian) is that it doesn't speak unicode. Also, it's a bit unintuitive and forces you to switch betwee...

i love this site! no flash, no ads, no clicking through lots of menus. this "stealing" discussion is just ridiculous. how can people who rip subtitles subscribe to that strange idea of "intellectual property". if copyright ruled the world all subtitle sites would have to shut dow...
