I can't figure out how to get the timing correctly with Subrip.No matter what settings i use, the last subtitle(Atmospheric pressure) in the movie Amelie shows at 1:56:50 when it's supposed to be at 2:04:27.This is true for any output format .son .srt etc.I set it to Ntsc to start but it seems to auto select and when choosing an extention it's greyed out anyway(what does dropframe do?).I tried both OCR and BMP always get the same time results.So i tried to use the time-stretch/speed adjust feature to stretch by 7min.37s but when going through the movie it's not matching at all.This guy says it does not work on Ntsc:http://website.lineone.net/~dr_fruitbat/subtitles_1.htm Is this true?

u have to use droframe, otherwise the whole subs will be out, not just the last one. It is a NTSC title.

I did leave dropframe checked as it was by default and the above mentioned problem was and is the result.

Hello, i donīt know if its because of this, but on the link above the part of " On cropping tab set width & height (example below for widescreen) hit ok " the vertical alignment should be bottom i think.

It seems that u have a Non Drop Frame source in hand. Try to subrip again without the drop frame flag on.

Also search for topics on 'Drop' and 'Non Drop frame'. There is plenty of them in this site. Everyone dealing with NTSC titles should study these things.
