How to slow down vobsubs from PAL to FILM?

[Marsu42]

I am doing some backups of PAL DVDs which were accelerated from their original 23,97... fps. Using AviSynth & BeLight I managed to slow down the video and audio tracks. By exporting the ocr'ed subs to 25fps MicroDVD format and re-importing them with 23.97... fps the text subtitles are in sync at last.

However, I don't know how to slow down the ripped vobsubs (sub+idx) - I'd like to mux them in the final mkv as well. It seems the timecode is in the idx file, but I can't think of any way/program to automatically adjust all timestamps. It would be nice if anyone could give me a hint :-)

ok, problem solved - I wrote two batch files converting .idx subtitles (as generated by vsrip.exe) and .xml chapters (as generated by chaptergrabber.exe) from pal to film framerate. If anyone is interested, I can post them here - they are jpsoft 4nt .btm scripts.

ok, here are the batch files - just made another one to convert srt from 25fps to 23,976. Just run it unter 4NT / Take Command, they take the input file as the only option and rename the old one to e.g. vobsub.idx.pal. All timecodes are multipled w/ 1,042709376. Not exactly pretty (I'm no programmer), but it works.

The VobSub Sub File Cutter, which comes with the VobSub package, can already convert IDX/SUB file framerates quite easily.
