DVD authoring - linux |

| Hello,
I'm trying to author DVDs and am faced with the following issue: the subtitles are out of sync. The procedure I follow is, 1 - use Handbrake to generate a .avi movie file 2 - use DeVeDe to make a DVD iso image, the subtitles (.srt) are added in the DeVeDe project. However they are out of sync. How could I solve this please? Thanks, André Luiz |

| What video file are you starting off with? The handbrake step seems unnecessary to me.
edit fixed my UN typo :oops: |

| Hello,
Thanks for the reply! Indeed, it is necessary to generate the .avi file. However, my question is regarding the subtitles sync. Can I add the subtitles file in Handbreak audio/subtitle option itself? In addition, Handbreak cannot design a nice DVD layout as DeVeDe does. Sincerely, André Luiz |

| The handbrake step seems UNnecessary .
What is your source video before converting with devede? Are the subs in sync with the source video? |

| Yeah thanks baldrick. I meant unnecessarry. One to many conversions going on there. Try converting your source files with something like winff (there are linux versions) to dvd compatible mpeg then author with dvdstyler , qdvdauthor or any other gui for dvdauthor in linux that supports subtitles |

| Hello,
Thanks for the message. I´m using Handbreak because the movie is in a DVD and I wanted to separate the movie from the remaining part of the DVD. The DVD does no have subtitles and I´m trying to add subtitles in my country language. Sincererely, André Luiz |

| My guess is that the subtitles that you are adding are set at a different fps than the video.
The video and sub's need to match frame rate. Not sure what linux tool can do that for you. I know there are a couple of windows tools that can. |
