Sub Rip/resync

[howto]

I've several .mkv files...
some have muxed subs, nothing plays them
some don't have subs, so I have to search,
usually http://v2.subscene.com/
and very often it does not sync.

So i want to...
1) pull a .srt/.sub from a .mkv
2) resync other downloaded subs

What apps can do this?
Windows platform please.

True internet has been really bad,
I'll logon again when I can

have you tried vlc player.

hasnt failed yet, even lets you adjust subtitle and audio sync while viewing.

you know the srt must have the same name as the media file

Always used to use MKVToolnix with MKVExtractGUI-2 added into same folder when 'playing' with MKV s.

MKVToolnix install or portable from http://www.downloadbestsoft.com/MKVToolNix.html

MKVExtractGUI-2 from http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Other-VIDEO-Tools/MKVExtractGUI-2.shtml

Just unzip ExtractGUI to the same folder as MKVToolnix.

@candypants
yeah, vlc is/has been my preferred play for years.

does not show muxed subs on the laptop or desktop.

the sony or the Phillips BR players don't either

Yes, I know the .sub must be named the same

@ThaidDown

I used the 'port' ver of MKVToolnix this morning,

but used MKVcleaver instead of MKVExtractGUI-2.

IT DID WORK to extract a .srt from a .mkv

IT FAILED to resync a standalone sub.

I'll give MKVExtractGUI-2 a go tomorrow.

Please remember -2 issues here.

T'anks to both of you...

I use the following sites for subtitles:

http://www.addic7ed.com/

http://www.subtitleseeker.com

http://www.subtitle.co

http://engsub.net/

http://www.podnapisi.net

http://www.opensubtitles.org

http://www.tvsubtitles.net

http://www.subtitles.com.br

http://my-subtitles.com/

I use Subtitle Edit 3.3 RC1 to synchronize .srt files manually (latest version is now 3.3.4) by adjusting the frame rate.

But usually I just get/test the correct named .srt file.

1) pull a .srt/.sub from a .mkv

Assume it's a hard sub?

I confess I haven't done this in years - it's so easy to get original material with subs on Thai trackers - but back in the day I did use SubRip which can peel hard subs via OCR, it requires 'training'.

@JetsetBkk

Wow, thanks for the links.
I was able to DL the
Subtitle Edit 3.3.4 (not tried yet)

@lomatopo
yeah I also used SubRip years ago.
The OCR was not that great.

Right now,

I'm lucky to have internet at all.

10 days ago could get 8mbs/11snrm

could force to 9.4mbs/5snrm

Now it's 2mbs/4snrm.

real True Tech here last Thursday

said line needs replacing,

and he would contact the subcontractor

He forgot, till wife called him yesterday am

suppose to be fixed today,

yeah right, BS, I will believe it when I see it.

And my phone has so much noise/hum

can't use it.

So my SOHO and work is 'dead-in-the-water'.

Many thanks to all of U for your help.

I use SubTitle Edit to resync subs. It has a 'Visual' mode, where you can sync the subtitle to the video.

Mkvtoolnix is a must have tool for general MKV manipulation and maintainence.

If the muxed subtitles don't work or are not in sync, you can just find a new subtitle file online and remux.

I like subscene.com the best to look for subtitles.

I use mkvmerge to remux.

I use subtitleworkshop4 to resync an .srt subtitle file before remuxing when I have to.
