You can also open the subtitle track in a program called Jubler to preview it. mkv rip in VLC and go to that time stamp in the film to see if it looks properly synced. I believe lets you preview the track (time stamp for each line). Also, I have found subtitle tracks that weren't in proper sync with the movie. Unfortunately, this can take a bit of trail and error as often the file descriptions may be limited. I've had the most luck with but was also directed to.

This simplest solution that was suggested to me, IMO, was to find the appropriate subtitle track (.srt format) from an online resource. There are supposedly ways to extract the subtitle tracks from MakeMKV rips and convert them to a usable format (more available via Windows, it appears) but I wasn't having much luck. I really don't have much expertise in this matter but like you was looking for a relatively easy solution for the same problem. And handbrake people, please work on a solution so we don't have to rely on an three or four programs to get blu-ray ripped to ATV (two is enough!). If the issue is not so simple, at least summarize what is and is not simple about it. Someone out there who understands the issue and can explain in plain english - please do so for the benefit of us all. I know there are various ways to do it, but I don't want to spend six hours reading every single post on this. All I want to be able to do now is get the forced subtitles only (most of you know what this means but for those of you who don't - the subtitles pertaining to a foreign speaker so we can understand what they mean, etc.). I am fairly happy right now with my blu-ray rips from makemkv and my converted files from handbrake for ATV, using the latest nightly build of HB and changing the resolution to 1280 x 720. Make sure to select Format as "SubRip *.srt" and Encoding should be "UTF-8"Ĭlick "Accept" and that's it for preparing Jubler for creating subtitles.I know this has been discussed before, and I am sure someone will try and tell me to read the forums more, but I have already read a lot and I am still confused. If you know the frame rate of the video set it in the drop down box otherwise leave it set with the default. Normally the first encoding should be UTF-8. Under the Load Tab (the Tab that is opened by default). Open the preferences again by selecting File > Preferences This is because Jubler asks MPlayer to play the video.īefore we start creating the subtitles we have to set some basic preferences. Note: when Jubler plays the video file it opens in a separate window and does not play 'within' Jubler. When you load a video you will see a preview image. Now press "OK" and Jubler should load the video :

This is not a very good place for the file but we will leave it there for this example. In the above example the location is on the Desktop of my computer. The last box is just the location of a temporary file that Jubler will create for its own purpose while you create the subtitle. If this was the case you would check the box and press the second "Browse" button to select the new audio file. You might wish to use this option if you had been editing audio to fit with the video but had not yet combined the two (audio and video). You would only check the "Use a different audio stream" if there was another audio file other than the one in the selected video that you wished to subtitle. Now.there are some other options displayed but we will not worry about these. You are now returned to the "Select video" window you were at earlier. When you have located that file click "Open" : Press the 'browse' button next to the 'Use the following video file' and you will be presented with a 'File Browser' with which you can browse your computer looking for the video file you wish to subtitle. To choose this video file select Tools > Preview (or press F7) : Next you need to choose the video file that the subtitles are for. So Jubler is in a 'ready' state for creating new subtitles. When you do this you will notice the interface change : and the left to File (alternatively you could just press CTRL and N on your keyboard at the same time) : Jubler will be open on your computer :įirst select File from the manu bar and then slide down to New. Create a New Projectįirst we create a new subtitle file. I will imagine you have a video file ready you wish to subtitle. Lets prepare Jubler for subtitling a video.
