Gordian Knot subtitle problem

spidamonk · 30th March 2010, 01:31

Hey all just a lil problem, im able to add subtitles that i have ripped from dvd (so a .sub + idx) to the film about going to convert. But if i download an edited subtitle file in the form of an .srt, the subtitle section on Gordian that allows you to select srt files is grayed out and im unable to even browse for one. Any ideas?!

After loading the video press control F8 to bring up the subtitle selector. But really what you need to do is convert the idx sub that you have ripped from your DVD to srt format. Then you can edit the text using Subtitle Workshop or even Notepad if you are very careful not to add any more characters that are on a line.

Downloading subtitles is a breach of copyright and probably wouldn't work anyway depending on frame rates etc.
