re-splitting VobSubs after joining (resyncing)?

[masken]

Hi

There comes a joiner and a splitter with VobSub v.2.16.

I tried to first use the joiner to merge the 2CD vobsubs back together into one *.idx/*.sub again, which went just fine. To get the "beginning of Input 2" I just opened the CD1 .avi in nandub and slided to the end.

This indeed produces a new, merged *.idx/*.sub from the split ones.

Now I wanna split it again, matching another encode, so I open VobSub Cutter. When I open the joined subs, it set the endtime to full length I guess? That seems to match :)

For CD2, I then set the start to be the full length of CD1.

For some reason this doesn't work... I get CD1 out OK, but I never manage to get CD2 synced.. :( The CD1 .idx/.sub also bets alot bigger than the CD2 one...

Anyone who can help me?

Ok, I found the post via search, so maybe you'll never see it.

Anyway, if I inderstood what's your problem, this is what you can do.

Find the last subtitle of the CD1. Open the .sub file with notepad and locate this subtitle.

Cut all the rest subtitles, as they are, to a new txt file, which you will rename to .sub. This is the file with the subtitles of cd2.
Now open the resynchronizing tool of vobsub and correct the start of the subtitles matching the start of speech of the CD2.

I hope I was clear.

You can do that with subrips, but not with vobsubs m8... but thanks anyways...

Well I've done it with VobSub resync tool.

But, maybe you look for something different that I don't get...

[masken]

Yes.. that's exactly what I described in my first post, but I don't get it to work...

Ok let's put it like this instead:

I've got VobSub's form a 2CD encode that I want to fit to another 2CD encode, how do I do this exactly?

[geocapital]

So you have subtitles for two cds and you want to put them back together and split them to two different than the previous ones, cds.

hm...
I have never done this, but you say that you have already merged the two subtitles, haven't you?

So, now you have to re-split them again.
So, as I already said, you open the file with notepad.
You find the point where your first cd ends. Find it using the time or if you speak the language, when you hear the last words.

Edit-->copy the rest. All of the rest. (ok, the file has to be srt or sub. it won't work with smi)
Now paste it to a new text file, i.e. subtitle2.srt
Open the new file with VobSub's sync program and change the time. You know how to work this program, don't you? You change the first time-subtitle start- and it changes all the rest. Save the file with the same name.
Run the avi2 with the subtitles2. See if it matches. If not, try changing the time. You have to do this manually.

I hope I helped.

geocapital, it's VOBSUB's, it's not in textformat god damned it, read what I wrote!!! ;)

No worries though, I found the problem, the two encodes had different FPS's, so I had to recalculate the splittime for VobSub Cutter...

[geocapital]

Sorry, I never worked with vobsub format, so I just did not mention it.
However, I suppose that you can open the subtitles with vobsynth and save it to text format and then do as I said.

Anyway, you said you found the problem, even though I can't understand how you can have a movie divided in two cds and the subtitles have a different framerate. I mean, how did you find one cd finishing there, where the second started... :sly:

See you around.
