Hello,

I cut a part of a dvd film, with this entry time: 10.03.19 and this end time: 15.38.12 = minuts.seconds.frames

I'd like to rip the subtitles just from this part and import them into Scenarist, but I can't figure out a way to do it. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance

OK, I found a way changing the sst script to import the subs into Scenarist. That's to say I rip them all with subrip and then I delete in the script the ones I don't need. It's sort of a roundabout but the only way I can imagine now.

One thing more I'd like to find is the way to cut scenes from different dvd films, join them with transition effects and then be able to put the subtitles to each different scene.
That sounds complicated because the software to author dvd with subtitles (Scenarist, Maestro) doesn't implement transitions and the nonlinear edition software (Premiere, Vegas, Pinnacle, Ulead) doesn't cope with subtitles (I think with Ulead you can create them but not to import them from a dvd).
So if I make a sort of clip with different scenes edited with Premiere for instance and them import the audio and video streams into Scenarist I don't think I could get the program to import the subtitles ripped from different dvds and put them all in the right scenes.

I see that kind of clips with cuts from different films in TV, when they make for instance an special about an actor or a director, and that kind of clips has transitions and subtitles and everything, but I'm suppose they have all the material on tapes and that's why is much easier and quicker to get the desired result

It's probably the fastest way too, sometimes you can't beat notepad ;)

STW will do the work fine, deleting subs before and after the needed times. (That is if U need to reset the times too in order to fit the clip)
