Jubler is a tool to edit text-based subtitles. It can be used as an authoring software for new subtitles or as a tool to convert, transform, correct and rene existing subtitles. The most popular subtitle formats can be used. Preview of the subtitles in realtime or in design time, spell checking, translation mode and styles editing are some of the main features. It is open source under a liberal (GNU) public licence. It is written in Java 5.0 (a.k.a. Java 1.5.0) in order to be really multi-platform. Itis available for Linux, Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X. In a few words this is a very good subtitle making software Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, ltering and encoding tasks. It supports many le types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG les, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities. Avidemux is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows under the GNU

GPL license. Here we will use this software to add subtitles and encode our video. In this guide I will describe you how to create your own subtitles for a video clip using Jubler and after that how to embed them on the clip using Avidemux. Install jubler from your distributions PMS or download it from here and Avidemux from here or again through your distributions PMS. The following has been tested on Archlinux but since both applications are cross platform you should have no problem running them in Windows XP or MAC OS X. Lauch Jubler and select either File > New or the New button in the toolbar to start a new project (1).
Next click on the Enable/Disable Preview button to load the clip you want to create subtitles for. Browse to the location you have the clip (1) and click Ok. If you want you can select to use a different audio stream and work with that (2).

As you can see a video preview window has opened (1) along with a waveform visualization of the clip's audio sound (2). You can use the zoom in/out scroll bar to locate the exact time of the movie you want to add subtitles (3) which I will show you later how to do it.
But rst we must set some preferences for the subtitles. Click on File -> Preferences and a new window will appear. In the rst tab if you are using Windows or Linux select UTF-8 as First Encoding (1), unless you have some special encoding for your language. If you are using MAC OS X set the First Encoding to MacRoman. Next click on the Get FPS from video le button (2), or select your clip's FPS from the drop down menu if you know it.
In the Save tab you can select the format you want your subtitles to be saved to. There are many supported formats such as Advanced SubStation, SubStation Alpha, SubRip. SubViewer (1 and 2), MicroDVD, MPL2 and Spruce DVD Maestro. Here I will use the .srt le format (1).

In the Player tab you can select the player you want Jubler to open to test your subtitled video. In my system it has recognized mplayer on its own (1).
If you are not good in spelling Jubler uses ASpell speller to check what you are writing.
When you have nished with the conguration click on Accept to return to main program window. To start creating your

07.02.12 16:23
subtitles you must select the part of the waveform in which there is voice. To do so grab the left and right edge of the blue part of the waveform (1). The Start and End time of the subtitles will appear (2) and you can know type your subtitles (3). You can also change the font size/type etc. (4) and color (5) of your subtitles. To test what you have done click on the Test Subtitles from current position button (6).
If your subtitle isn't correctly set close the preview window and drag again the two edges until you have the wanted result. Once you have selected the correct length for your rst subtitle click on the New subtitle after current one button (1). The time in which the rst subtitle appears on screen will appear as green (2) and the program will select next speech for you (3). Again type the subtitle, move its start and ending point to what you think is good and test. Repeat the whole process as many times as needed.

07.02.12 16:23
When you are done click on File -> Save as... to save your subtitles.
If you give your subtitles the same name as your clip's and put them in the same folder when you'll try to play the clip most media players will automatically recognize the subtitles le and open it. However you might want to embed the subtitles on the clip to reproduce them with a program or with a device that doesn't support external subtitles. Here comes Avidemux. Close Jubler and launch Avidemux. Click the Open button (1) and open your clip. Next select Side from the drop down menu (2) to have both the initial and nal video in your screen (this is optional).
Next go to Video -> Filters and from the Available Filters select Subtitles (1). Here you should select the format you had previously saved your subtitles to. For me it's Subtitler (2). Click on the blue cross (3) and in the pop up window browse to your Subtitle le (4). You should also select UTF8 Encoding (5) (or whatever you have choosen previously in Jubler). Click Ok and Close buttons to return to the main program window. Here you must be careful the Font (TTF) le to exist in your computer. If it doesn't no subtitles will appear in your nal video. So use the browse button to select a font if the chosen one doesn't exist in your system (5).

07.02.12 16:23
Here you can choose the video format you want to save the le to (1) (avi, mpeg, xvid, divx whatever) as long as the audio format (2) (mp3, aac, ac3 etc.). You can also use the Play button (3) to preview your video.
Click on the the Save button and the encoding will begin. Wait a while till you have your nal video le with embedded subtitles!

Hey Kev. Select File -> Open and load your english subtitles le. All subtitles text will appear one under another. Now you can translate them one by one either on your own or by using an external dictionary. What do you mean by feed different languages?

Hi Axel, thnx for ur reply, well what i meant by feed other languages, is like tests other than english like example russian or arabic or asian languages abd is it possible to load two sets of languages at the same time, os that when the le is being played we can see english and its equvalent translation and also when i read the synopsis of jubler, its was mentioned that jubler has a translating option nally im getting stuck at the mplayer bit, when i try to play the video it searches for the executable le, and automatic searching doesn't lead anything and when u go for the manual option, and u nd the 'exe le' it says invalid executable le pls help

If you have followed exactly my guide and you don't have embeded subtitles it might be because of a bug in jubler or avidemux versions you are using..

Wow, this guide is a complete lifesaver. However... it's not working for me. The only things in my experiences that differ from your tutorial are 1. My videos are in mp4 and not avi. I can convert if this is what's causing it. 2. The "Test subtitles from current position" button isn't working for me. Does this point to a problem with MPlayer? MPlayer is working perfectly otherwise. When I try to add the titles into Avidemux I can select the right le, I made sure the font and conguration were right like you said, and yet the subtitles just don't show up. You also said "most media players will automatically recognize the subtitles le and open it". That's not happening for me either. I've tried Quicktime, MPlayer and DivXPlayer. If you could help me, I would be thrilled.

I've made some progress... turns out that the latest version of MPlayer isn't compatible with Jubler, and I have to downgrade. I haven't had a chance to do that yet, but it still doesn't explain why the subtitles won't show up in Avidemux, not even in the preview. Sorry, should have said earlier I'm running Mac OSX Leopard.

I went to jubler forums to make a little search and I saw your post. Heh. Regarding avidemux the only things that I can think are whether you have select the correct path for an existing TTF font and the correct encoding for your subtitles le. It might be something different than UTF-8. I don't have a MAC so I don't know what is going on there.

I found out what was wrong. I use Vista and i just wanted to add subs in a video without changing format (didn't want to mess up the quality) so i was leaving the Video to copy. You must specify a video in order for this to work.

You are right. Although you can select a lter from Video -> Filters menu this cannot be applied unless you change the video codec. This is a little frustrating for me also since I have to reencode a video when applying a lter. I haven't searched why the copy mode doesn't work.

Questions about titles saved and loaded in TEXT format

Need help/suggestions to work with titles in TEXT format.
------------------- Also Posted in the Jubler General Forum ----------Hello everyone, This is my rst post, please bear with me for the introduction, I am a new to video/editing and a new user of Jubler which I downloaded and installed without problems in a Windows XP machine. It works great, so thanks to you all for the great job. My main use of Jubler at this point is to add titles to foreign videos that we need to translate to English, such as conferences, speeches and the like which means pretty much a subtitle every few frames, and my main problem or really a wish, is to nd ways to improve the speed of the workow. I also used AVIDEMUX to add the titles to the video (Sorry to say AVIDEMUX crashed a couple of times; but it reloaded the crashed les again and eventually output an MP4 video) My rst tests went smooth, so I will make Jubler my main application for this (keep in mind that I own Premiere CS4 and Ulead; but found out that Jubler is much better for this task). Now the real questions: To test and to learn I exported the titles as text and saw that the text le is actually nothing more than a line for each title, without any time information, so when the text le is reloaded again all the titles are given default time values. Obviously this is not very helpful. 1) Did I miss something when I saved the titles as text or Jubler is actually only saving the titles without time information ? Because I have the conferences and speeches already translated, the text option is very convenient to initially get all the titles into jubler by breaking down the speeches into short text lines, in these cases loading them into jubler without time information is ok and what I need to know is how to put the correct time on each title in an efcient way. In another words how to change the default times that each subtitle gets when loaded into jubler. I guess a convenient way would be while watching the video play, somehow tell jubler the start and end points within the video that correspond to a given subtitle. Can anyone suggest the best way to do this ? Thank you all again. Dave

Hey DR. Let's see. First open the subtitle le (File -> Open). The open the video le ("Enable/Disable Preview", the icon with the eye). And now select Tools -> Synchronize. Choose what you think is best for you.

Synchronizing subtitles - follow up

Hello Axel, Thanks for the hint, I tried the Tools-->Synchronize, it works ne and if I only had to correct the timing of few subtitles that would do it; but I might have to correct hundreds of subtitles per video!, so I am looking for a way that actually resembles the option of adding "new" titles while watching the video (I tried that originally and that's why I liked Jugler so much). In this case the subtitles "already" exist, after I import them from a plain text le, they all have default, sequential timings given by jugler, so far so good , now I need to give them the correct timing. The plain text format (without any timing) is very useful for me because I will use it to initially load the subtitles from a plain text le. The reason is that I already have several conferences and speeches translated from foreign languages to English and all I need is to add those subtitle lines to the videos. So what I am looking for is an efcient, quick way to add the correct timing to all (could be hundreds of them) the subtitles. When you load the text lines from a plain text le. jugler creates default timing for each subtitle, sequentially, all with some default duration; but obviously they do not fall in the correct places, so I have to move each individually to the right spot on the video (keep in mind that if I push the rst one over the ones that follow to nd its place in the video , a mess is quickly made). I need to nd a way to do this, I think jugler has the right potential to do it if it does not do it already. It should work something like this: While I watch the video, jugler should be ready to assign the timing to the next available subtitle, and as soon as I see the start of the video for that subtitle I would press a start-button and then wait a little bit until the video reaches the end corresponding to the end of the subtitle, at that moment I would press an end-button and automatically jugler would assign the correct timing to that subtitle. At this point jugler should be ready to work with the next subtitle available....And the whole process is repeated until I reach the end of the subtitles. My point is to let the user do this with the minimum amount of clicks and delays, while the video is continually playing. Jugler is very close to doing that! , the option to add new titles while watching the video has the right avor so to speak... There are a couple of arrows on the video controller, they says "add rst point or last point of synchronization..." which I do not know how to use; but with these buttons it might be possible to do or perhaps implement in the future what I explained. Sorry for the long winding explanation, I would like other people to think about this not just to solve my problem; but it would really make Jubler a superb tool for this type of translation jobs. Any hints, ideas, etc are appreciated indeed

Make "Soft-subs"?
Hi Axel, I have been searching for an "easy" way to add soft-subs (able to turn on/off while watching) that look good to my videos/slide shows. It seems Avidemux adds nicely formatted hard-subs but not soft-subs. Is there a way to tell Avidemux to add soft-subs and I just missed it?

07.02.12 16:23
I have used DeVeDe to add soft-subs, but they don't look that great as spumux doesn't seem to use anti-aliasing. If you can't tell, I'm on a linux system Thanks
Gotit , December 30, 2008

Hi Gotit, Avidemux can't add soft-subtitles as far as now. Have you tried changing the default devede font? Just replace ~/.spumux/devedesans.ttf with the font you want keeping the same name. There is also mandvd but I haven't tried it. Maybe the result will be better.

Soft-subs
Hi Axel, RATS! on the soft-subs... Yes, I have learned how to "trick" DeVeDe into using another font just as you indicate above and that works ne. Interestingly, I checked out a couple of DVD's last night just to see their fonts/colors (now that I'm paying attention). It seems many subtitles on commercial DVD's don't look any different than what DeVeDe provides. Thanks for the tip on mandvd, I'll check it out.

Hi again Gotit, you are right, many DVD's don't have very good looking subtitles. When you try mandvd drop me a line here. I also want to check it and maybe publish a guide for it.

Hi My10. you can't see subtitles while converting the video or when playing the nal video in a media player? From the available lters have you selected VobSub and the correct encoding (Select Language) ? An idx/sub le can contain more than one subtitles so this might be a problem also.. You could try and nd .srt subtitles as well.

NEED HELP URGENTLY?!

Hi, rst of all thx a lot, I learned a lot from this website of how to use jubler and avidemux. Let's start for the beginning: I use jubler Version 3.9.5 and avidemux 2.4.3 (r4276). Now my main question is: WHY WHEN I GO TO PREVIEW ON AVIDEMUX,THE SUBTITLES THAT I LOAD FROM JUBLER ARE ALWAYS IN SOME DEFAULT FONT AND ARE WHITE. Why? I did everything as it need's to be done. I nished them in jubler and i changed the font to 13 and made them yellow and yet here they come in 26 size font and are white? Can this be because I use arial and when i typed the text on the subtitle i used ALT+SHIFT to change the language bar on XP PRO ESSENTIAL WINDOWS from english to macedonian. Can that be? I think I even have them both somewhere english somewhere macedonian? But still on the preview mode it is okey except for the font and color. Any help sooner would be great?! P.S : forgot to say , when i go to play the subtitles on the jubler with mplayer, some of them instead of 2 lines like they are in jubler they are shown on 3 lines on the mplayer when i play them?! WHy? Anyway I use MPlayer for Windows (Full Package) 1.2 2007-08-26 The Award and GNU Aspell (Win32 version). THX upfront!?
Spase Vasilevski , January 05, 2009

...
@My10 You can try a Target Quantizer of 2 or 3 for best quality. If the nal le size it too big increase it. Generally have in mind that Higher Target Quantizer = Smaller lesize but Lower quality @Spase Vasilevski Avidemux has an option for font size and color. You can nd it when you select the Subtitle le and font. However I believe you can decrease the size of the subtitles through mplayer as well. Maybe they appear in 3 lines because the are too large to be displayed in 2 lines. PS: I removed your email address so you don't get spammed by bots.

Font sizes too big

Hey everyone! Sorry if this is a rookie question, but I'm having trouble with the font sizes on Jubler. When I save them as *srt and try to open them in VLC they appear to assume the default size on Jubler, 24, even though I created them with font size 20. This, of course, results in huge subs on VLC that stack up to 3 lines and impose on the footage... Is there a way to change the font size on all subs at once? Am I exporting them the wrong way? Thanks beforehand!

Which video codec are you using? You can try this: 1) In Format use AVI 2) In Video use MPEG-4 x264 3) In Congure * Encoding Mode: Two Pass - Video Size * Target Video size (MB): 700 or whatever you want. 4) Press ok and save the video with a new name.

subtitle problem not resolving

Hey Axel, since you have helped so many, I wondered if I could encroach upon your kindness one time. I have used Jubler with Avidemux 2.4.4, and both work like a charm. I use them to hardcode SRT subtitles to avi movies. I understand the Jubler cannot handle VobSub subtitles, right? I saw you offered advice to someone about using IDX and SUB les... Would you be kind enough to extend me the same favor? The IDX le I am trying to use has two languages, Japanese and English. I want the English one. However, even if I load the IDX title to the Avidemux VobSub lter, the subtitles never show up in the preview or in the nal version. However, if I

Vicky rst go to mplayer' s site, download and install the MPlayer SVN Windows with SMPlayer GUI (recommended) version. After that open Jubler and go to Preferences -> Player. There mplayer should be selected as you say. Click the wizard button and let it nd the executable. It automatically found it for me at this location: C FilesSMPlayermplayermplayer.exe Now if you open a video le you will see a preview screen. Just create a new subtitles le (Ctrl+N) and then press the eye button at the right to load the video le you want. rogram

JRE is necessary to install Jubler. Download it from the link below http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Windows XP/Vista/2000/2003/2008 Ofine is the version you want if you are running Windows.

.VOB file
Hi there, I am learning how to use this software, but I got stuck with Avidemux... My video is in .VOB format and Avidemux is telling me it cannot open it... What can I do? The clip plays no bother in Jubler. Thanks, Andrea

Hi Andrea. How did you get the .VOB le? You can use mplayer to get an avidemux compatible .VOB le like this: mplayer dvd://1 -dumpstream -dumple rippeddvd.vob

Hi Axel, thanks for the quick reply. I am practising on a video I have on a DVD that was burned by my potential client (someone I have already worked in the past for some translation work). When I copy the content of the DVD onto the hard disk you get a folder and inside you nsome 4 .vob les (which make out the video as a whole) and two .BUP and .IFO les. What I have done is to choose the le that contains the beginning of the video, put some subtitles on it using Jubler and now I was trying to embed them using, as you advise, Avidemux. When I try to open the .vob le what I get is "This looks like an mpeg. Do you want to index it?" I say yes and the answer is: "There is several mpeg les, append them?" I say yes (for want of better things to say...), but the answer is in bold and reads: "can't open "/Users/andrea/Desktop/VIDEO_TS /VTS_01_1.VOB.idx":13 (Permission denied) VIDEO_TS -> This is the folder where the le is VTS_01_1.VOB -> This is the le itself.
Hope this makes it clearer Andrea

Besides
It seems that other people can open .VOB les no bother... Also, since I have more than one le, I need to make sure that when you play the DVD you can see it all (not sure whether I need the option to switch the subtitles off, but probably it would do no harm, however that's probably a problem for later Andrea

You can try to rip the DVD les instead of just copying them to your hard disk and then open them with avidemux. You can try dvd::rip for Linux or dvddecrypter for Windows. Or maybe handbreak.

Almost there, but not quite...

Hi again, here is a quick update. Managed to rip the DVD using Wordshare DVD Ripper., Avidemux now works, but the audio, when I try the preview, is crap (I can barely make up what they are saying... same problem with Jubler, BTW) while the mp4 le I got ripping the original is ne.. In any case I can see the subtitles. Then, I have chosen MPEG-4 AVC (x264) for video MP3 (LAME) for audio (both for no good reason). When I try to output the video with subtitles, I get a NON-audio le (it doesn't even has an extension). Humph... what now??? Thanks again.
+0
Making progress?
Not sure... Anyway, I have read somewhere that Avidemux does not add an extension to the les it produces... OK, I have added that by hand. So the latest produce has been made using MPEG-4 ASP (Xvid4), MP3 (LAME), MP4 (format). Then I saved the le as xxx.mp4. After about 25 minutes I got something out (much, much smaller than the le I obtained ripping the DVD, which, in turn, was about 1/7 than the DVD itself...), but Quickplayer would not open it as it says that it found an invalid "sample description". However I tried with MPlayer and it did work ne, although for the rst 9 secs I cannot see the image, but can read only the subtitles. Any comments. TIA Andrea

Andrea are you trying to make a video with hardcoded subtitles that you can view it in any player? A video with external subtitles? Or burn the video and subtitles to a new dvd?

Ok, since you have solved the video quality problem and there is no limitation in the nal format you can either keep the ripped avi you already have and use jubler to create the subtitles. Then give your customer the two les .avi and .srt so he can reproduce the video in his computer. If you have a Windows installation I would recommend ConvertXtoDVD to convert the avi to DVD and add the subtitles. For Mac I don't know a program that can do this job. Here is a ConvertXtoDVD guide You can also embed the subtitles on the DVD and create a new DVD afterwards. iSkysoft DVD Creator for Mac is a popular application. I don't have a Mac to tell you more.

no subs on saved AVI

I followed exactly the path of the tutorial, and got my srt le to work and display ne in AVIdemux (set in output mode). Thanx for that. However when I hit SAVE, it goes off encoding and creates the output le but... no subtitles on it! I tried playing it with VLC and QT Player, but I guess that doesn't matter. If the subs are hard printed in the video, no matter which player you use, you should see them. What do I do wrong? thnx Silvano

That's rather strange silvano, since you see the subtitles in the output mode of Avidemux. Maybe a bug in the version of Avidemux you are using?? I can't think of anything else.

When you open the video le in VLC just congure the subtitles encoding to be cp-1250 or iso 8859-7. These are the encoding formats used by Windows.

Rather than bother you, is there a site where I can nd all the information I need about jubler, vlc and generally educate myself in all that stuff? Thanks again (you're my saviour)

You are welcome Theodore. Just use the subtitles and avi les you already have to make your DVD. A very good program to convert avi to dvd in Linux is DeVeDe. You can read my How to create a custom DVD using DeVeDe guide. If you want a Windows application read my ConvertXtoDVD guide.
If you search my site you will nd some more helpful guides about dvd authoring and dvd ripping.

Jubler and DVD MovieFactory Pro 7

Hello Everyone: This may seem like an odd combination between the two programs. I have a video(MPEG2 format) that is in English and French. The French scenes are long so when the English scenes come along, understanding the movie could prove difcult. I do have the .SRT le, and it works perfectly. But it is also including English subtitles, which I don't want. It was suggested to me that I create my own .SFT le to add to the video. DVD MovieFactory Pro 7, though a superb program, cannot modify .SFT les. Hence, surng the Internet lead me here to this discussion thread. My game plan was to use Jubler to (a) add subtitles to the video, (b) import the nished(converted) video into DVD MovieFactory Pro 7 (c) burn to DVD. I wanted to do it this way because DVDMFPro 7 allows me to create DVD menus with my videos. Any thoughts . . .

Creating parallel subtitle streams in multiple languages

I thought I'd post my solution here, which answers DR's request above, albeit about 18 months after it was posted. Here's hoping it proves useful to someone else, because it's taken me quite a while to get this far.
My aim, like DR's, is to create subtitles in several languages as quickly as possible. I have the text of the subtitles already; I just need to take it from a spreadsheet one language per column, one subtitle per cell to a collection of .stl les. And my solution as follows. (Note that it uses AWK, so it'll work straightaway on Linux and Mac, but you'll need to install AWK or GAWK on Windows google for it). It looks a bit long-winded here, but follow it step by step it works, I promise! (1) Use Jubler to create the timings, either by using the method described in the article above, or by following "How can I create new subtitles while the movie is played?" in the Jubler documentation. You don't need to type the text of the subtitles if you've already got it in another le; just create a stream of blank subtitles, with the start and end point of each subtitle in the right place. Save it. For the purpose of these instructions, I'll assume it's called blank.stl note that it MUST be in STL format for the AWK script below to work.

(2) Copy and paste the following AWK script into a new text le, and save it with the lename "translateSTL". #!/usr/bin/awk -f # by Tim Morley, 2010 # distributed under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license # http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/uk/ # # ======================================================= ============== # # Syntax: # ~$ translateSTL lang=XX start=ROW translations.csv le.stl # # where: # XX is a language code (e.g. EN, HU, DE, etc.) which must match # a code in the top row of one column in translations.csv # ROW is the line number in translations.csv of the rst subtitle # which is to be imported # translations.csv is a TAB-separated (NOT comma-separated) le # containing set(s) of translated subtitles (one subtitle per cell, # one language per column).

Hope that helps! PS There's one bug that I'm aware of but don't know how to x if your STL le contains nothing before the rst time
23 of 28

code, the rst line of the translated les gets mangled.
To avoid the problem, just open up your "blank.stl" le as
soon as you've saved it, and if the rst line starts with a timecode, just insert a new rst line above it, e.g. // This comment in the rst line avoids problems with the translateSTL script

When I try to do step (1) above, I get an error window pop up saying: " "Video lters cannot be applied in Copy mode To apply lters the video must be transcoded." Also, stuff happens even before that when I go to open the video - I rst get a window saying: " Build VBR time map? Avidemux detected VBR MP3 audio in this le. For keeping audio/video in sync, time map is needed. Build it now? You can do it later with "Audio -> Build VBR Time Map"." I choose to build it and when it is done with that process, another window pops up: b]Packed Bitstream detected Do you want me to unpack it ?

There actually is a way to add subtitles via a command line. The easiest way is to go ahead and get everything set up via the avidemux gui This includes setting it to "encode" the video, apply the subtitle lter, etc Now instead of telling it to complete or save, go to "Save Project As" and save the project as a .js le, such as "myle.js" without quotes. Next open the js le in a text editor and remove any lines that start with

avidemux --load "$INPUT" --run myfile.js --save "$OUTPUT" --quit Keep in mind you need to substitute $input/$output with the name of the le.. Now the problem I have been running into is actually getting the myle.js to load the appropriate subtitle le based on the lename used at $INPUT.. Once that is gured out then I could nally batch add subtitles to a series that is 64 episodes without having to go in and manually change the subtitle name in the js le Note: All of the information I provided was actually located via google earlier today lol, a good bit was found at the avidemux site, both on the forums and wiki, some more was from other sites that I lost track of, and nally a lot of.... you guessed it, Trial and Error! woot for losing 8 hours of the day guring out this much

Can't set font/background for subs

Hello. I am pretty new to Jubler, but I just used it to recode and time-shift some English subs for a Swedish lm. It was excellent, really easy and intuitive. However, I now want to change the appearance of the subtitles in another lm. I need to change the font size, but more importantly I want the subs to appear over an opaque background, as the lm in question has hardcoded subs (in Russian, I think). These are making it impossible to read the overlaid English subs, hence I need to set these on an opaque box background. I have tried to achieve this using the "Edit current style" button at the bottom of the editing window, then using the font settings and the "Shadow" button, but with no effect. Clearly, I am doing something wrong! Please help! I am using Jubler 4.0, a MacBook with OS X 10.6.8, and VLC 1.1.12

In VLC I can also see an effects option in the subtitles where I can set a background or outline. However I am not using OS X, so I don't know if there is a difference in VLC. Another thing you can try is to hardcode subtitles using Avidemux. You will have to reencode your movie though...
