Hi!

First I would just like to say that I'm new to this stuff. So I dont really know my way around this topic what so ever.

Now, over to my question:

I have downloaded .srt subtitles to all my movies in my library, and most of them works just fine. But some of them seems to be 1-2 seconds in front of the movie. I was just wondering if there's an easy way to fix this problem without installing some new kind of fancy program or anything like that..?

I use VLC Media player, and .srt subtitles files.

Thanks!

Run Subtitle Workshop
1 Load the Movie
2 Load the .srt file
3 Start the movie and pause when the dialog starts.
4 Note the time the subs should be starting
5 Note the actual time is out of sync - select the subs and highlight all.
6 Click the double arrow key - the subs resync to the new start time.

Play the movie and refine the time.
When satisfied, 'File' > 'Save as' and select 'Subrip' as the format.

I'm clueless after following this,

4 Note the time the subs should be starting
5 Note the actual time is out of sync - select the subs and highlight all.

What does this mean?, ok i know in my case the subtitles start at 12 seconds but they should start at 36 seconds. So what should i do

Start playing the movie.
Look at the elapsed time (4).
When the actor mouths the audio that matches the subtitle, note the elapsed time.
Go back to the start and get the exact elapsed time.
Now you know the time the subtitles should start, select them all and click on (6).
The first subtitle should now match the correct elapsed time and all the subsequent subtitles change to their new times.

The time adjustment should be as accurate as possible.
As the movie plays, any error is magnified.
