Hello everyone,
Is it possible to download ssa2dvdsub.zip somewhere?
It's SSA-to-DVDSynth script converter.
http://www.roundelay.net/dvdsynth/ is not working.
I found dvdsynth-prerelease-95.zip and dvdsynth-prerelease-2k.zip on other place. But I haven't found working links to converter ssa2dvdsub.zip and scripts dvdsub-gauche.zip, dvdsub-kiki-chihiro.zip, dvdsub-cagliostro.zip.
And is there some other SSA-to-DVDSynth converters?
Or programs like DVDSynth?
Thanks.

A link to a working mirror can be found in this posting (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57866&highlight=dvdsynth#post348464).
Be aware that this is a command line program. I could not get scripts to work on PAL dvds.

Alternatively, use dvdsubber to add subtitles on the fly. It works using ssa subs. If you want to remove forced subs, use dvdsynth :), anydvd or dvdregionfree (the latter two are 40$ sharewares). The "experimental" removal feature of dvdsubber rarely works.

Thanks for reply.
Actually I saw that posting. I used search.
At that time http://web.archive.org had only 4 html's and http://www.netxsys.com wasn't working.
So I thought it's dead too. And today it worked. Great!
But I can not understand how to use this converter.
On DVDSynth home page said: "It's still fairly primitive".
Am I that stupid? Or did I miss something?
I tried DVDsubber. It works, but I didn't really liked it for some reason.
Light Alloy can do it too.
I personally like better Media Player Classic + VobSub.
What I want is to use PowerDVD with external subs.
Can someone help me with SSA-to-DVDSynth converter?
