An ASCII (= American Standard Code of Information Interchange) is a regular text file, nothing else. Simply type a name and save the file as described. You will find that you can read the contents when you open it in Notepad.

Okay, the Doom9 subtitle guide is quite confusing. and i'm stuck again. Please help me out here.


Rename your srt file in order for it to have the same name as the AVI file.

what AVI files?

Open your srt file, copy and paste all the subtitles that have a higher timecode than the length of your first AVI to another file. Then load that new .srt file (File Open).

I don't get it, paste it where?

who wrote this guide anyway?:rolleyes:

I don't want to pick on you, but if you have the applications opened and the guide in the background, they are quite easy to understand

Rename your srt file in order for it to have the same name as the AVI file. Now you can play the subtitles in most subtitle capable players you can downlade from my software page. Please refer to the manual of the respective player for how to display the subtitles. Usually if there's a subtitle file that has the same name as the movie it'll automatically be loaded when you load the AVI.
So, the name of the avi is the name of your movie, e.g. If you have

The_Matrix.avi

then your subs would be

The_Matrix.srt

But BSPlayer and other DivX Players can load sub files with every name, they just don't automatically if the names don't match.

Open your srt file, copy and paste all the subtitles that have a higher timecode than the length of your first AVI to another file. Then load that new .srt file (File Open). If you've already closed SubRip then you may have to start ripping subtitles again, press Pause, in order to be able to access the menu. After loading the srt file press on the watch.

Hmm, where do you usually Copy'n'paste? From one file to another, that is ;) But these steps are only required if the subs don't match, which should (almost) never happen if you ripped them directly from the DVD.

Be sure to use a recent version of Subrip, the doom9 guide is rather outdated (0.81 -> recent 1.xx [Better OCR correction, possibility to add italic/bold etc, much more output formats etc.)

You simply have to play around, most probably you 'll find a solution by yourself :D
