how to make subs with screen-coordinates?

[E-Male]

is there a way to make subs where i can give each line a coordinate?
to make the sentences show up next to the person that says it
and i want to do it from scratch or with an OCRed sub file i´ll translate

SSA can do this via margin overrides.

SSA means Substation Alpha (http://www.eswat.demon.co.uk/) and is AFAIK the most advanced subtitle prog you can find for free... It's pretty easy to use once you've become familiar with it.

You can use SubResync which is included in Vobsub to convert subs to ssa and then load them into Substation Alpha to edit them.

You can burn ssa-subs into a video with subtitler or textsub filter for vdub or show them on-the-fly with directvobsub.

Hi-

can anybody please explain how to use an ssa file with directvobsub? .

You first install VobSub-here's the latest Version 2.18 (http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Subtitles/VobSub_2.18.exe), and use a player that supports it (I use BS Player). Then if the curved green arrow appears down in the SysTray when you start the movie, you should be in business. Oh yeah-the SSA subs should be exactly the same name as the movie. So if you have movie.avi, then you should also have movie.ssa. Someone please correct me if I said anything wrong or left something out.
