SubtitleCreator 2.3 RC1

SubtitleCreator - Convert subtitle files to the binary format

Allows you to convert subtitle files to the binary format expected by authoring tools such as Muxman, IfoEdit

SubtitleCreator converts ASCII-based text files in SubRip’s SRT or MicroDVD’s SUB format to the binary SUP format expected by DVD authoring tools such as MuxMan or IfoEdit. As such, you are able to create and add your own subtitles to a DVD.


Since version 1.8, you can also manipulate existing subtitles, for example to shift them or to change their colors. Additionally, if you don't own the copyright of the DVD, you can overlay subtitles on top of your DVD. Finally, it also included a DVD Authoring Wizard function, which is especially useful for beginners and lazy people like me to add a new subtitle to a previously copied DVD (e.g. with DVDShrink).


It combines the power of PgcDemux, MuxMan and VobBlanker to add subtitles in one go, thereby even allowing you to retain the original DVD menu.


SubtitleCreator features:


· Convert SubRib (*.srt) or MicroDVD (*.sub) files to IfoEdit (*.sup) files

· Load the corresponding IFO file (thanks to the SubRip sources), such that you can use the same color palette as used

by the original subtitles

· Based on the IFO color palette, it tries to select white text, a black outline and a silver anti-alias color on a transparent gray background

· Based on the IFO file, it determines whether we are dealing with PAL or NTSC, and sets the subtitle window position appropriately

· Uses the line breaks you defined in the *.srt source, such that dialogs stay on different lines. However, the maximum number is defined by you, and if it doesn’t fit the window, the subtitles are joined and, if necessary, shrunken

· You can now also use italic, bold, or underlined subtitles

· You can also use , and for LARGE, large, and small text

· Preview and position your subtitles (using a screenshot as background)

· Deselect subtitles that you don’t want

· Automatically deselects credit lines (with @, or http)

· Choose the font that you like to use, and it's outline width

· Use profiles for default font and subtitle window position settings

· You can join several subtitle files, e.g. if the original subtitle consists of two parts

· Synchronize the subtitles using time shifting, frame rate conversion, or by watching the original DVD

· Synchronize the subtitles using the original subtitle *.sup file: by selecting a few matching subtitles in the text and original subtitle files, all subtitle start times are re-adjusted linearly.

· Stretch subtitles in horizontal and vertical direction

· Specify how many lines you wish to use for the subtitle

· Specify whether you want SC to automatically wrap lines

· Specify whether you want SC to generate bitmaps of the subtitles for you

· Specify whether you want SC to remove double spaces and other types of annoyances

· When opening a MicroDVD’s SUB file, special formatting commands are automatically recognized, like {Y:i}, {Y:b} and {Y:bi}

· You can define your own shortcuts in the configuration file,

· You can search for a subtitle string.
