Hello:

i just bought a french movie, with no english subtitles. i downloaded a subtitles text file from the internet, and know i am looking for a way to play the subtitles along the movie. i tried Eugene's player with his subtitles plugin, but no matter what i choose as the original frame rate for the subtiles, and no matter if i select NTSC framerate compansation, i can't get it right: the subtiles are always unsync!

the movies is "the three colors blue, white and red. zone 2 PAL. the subtitles are zone 2 PAL too, but it still doesn't work...

1: what program do you use to run subtitles from a external source?
2: any idea what the problem is?

thanx!

The problem is not your subtitle plugin, but the subtitle file. You have to resync it with using SubAdjust ( it allows to offset and to change the framerate of the file ).

ok. thanx. i got that done and now it's synced.

new problem: i knew this would happen: the subtitles only show when watching the DVD on my computer monitor. how can i have them showen also on the TV using my REALMagic card? should i use a different program?


thanx!
