Well I'm having second thougths on how to properly time Kenshin R1 DVDs.
I ripped the vobs using DVD decrypter. I ripped them using IFO method and ripped them per episode. So if episode 1 is chapters 1 to 5, I only rip that and if episode 2 is chapters 6 to 10, I only get those chapters and so on.
The problem lies when I rip the subtitles in subrip. I'm using .SRT format. After ripping the subtitles for episode 2, the time is a continuation of episode 1. So let's say, episode 1 is upto 25mins 30 secs. In episode 2, the subtitles start at 26mins 15secs. As you can see, this is wrong.
Anyway to fix it? Thanks

Use the Timing -> Shift Times function from Substation Alpha or XombieSub to shift all times backwards. Just enter the episodes length(directly from VirtualDub) into the tool of your choice. You will need to use SubResync from the VobSub package to convert the SRT to SSA and backwards, because the both mentioned tools cannot import SRT directly.

Do I need vobsub to view SSA files?

No, ssa are just text files. But you'll need subresync out of the vobsuv package. If you want to display/encode the ssa subs, you'll need textsub, also from the vobsub package.

i am also encoding anime and i will give you some advice
use the .ssa format when you rip out from the subtitle stream (done in subrip by changing the output format of the txt file)
check for any errors in the decoding of the stream (words mixed together, 1 and and I being confused etc.)
make multiple copies of the same ssa file but rename each one to the specific section/episode you want to encode
load up ssa and edit each one to make it so that each ssa only has subs for the episode(s) you want to encode
run veedub/nandub and load the ssa and the avi that you are working with, noting if the subs are synched to the audio
if they are off, then shift the times using the "Timing, Shift Times..." from the top bar in SSA.
=) Preview is your friend here
This takes time but eventually you should be able to synch the subs to the movie

Maybe this will help. SSA was actually made for creating new subtitles, but the format was one of the most powerful and flexible. You can install the SSA program to open the SSA files created by SubRip to edit and check your subtitles. Get it here:
