SubtitleCreator 2.3 beta 1 in Finish
Well, it has taken some time for this release to happen, but we hope it was worth the wait. The biggest change is thanks to Ropsi, who diligently translated it to Finish! Thanks for that!
Other changes are that the Manipulate SUP window has been removed, and all functionality has moved to the main window. Furthermore, you can now mix and match SUP, VobSub, SRT, SUB, and images in any way you like. In addition, we've added a new renderer with semi-transparent shadows, so that should give you even more options to play with. And you can take screenshots from your movies as well now.
For the purists among us, SubtitleCreator now deals with the stretching that occurs when a 720x576 PAL movie is stretched to widescreen. And this behaviour is different from shrinking to 4:3 TV screens. That's the reason why Arial Narrow always looked so good - in widescreen mode, it was stretched and became like regular Arial. Now, this is no longer necessary, and I hope you like the effect.
Finally, under the hood many more changes were made. For starters, many bugs have been fixed, but I'm sure that there are some new ones that have been added too. That's why this is a beta :-) If you find a bug, please add them to the our tracker.

SubtitleCreator 2.1 beta 1 released
New features:
* Read and write VobSub files (sub/idx) the same way as sup files and create a VobSub file directly from a srt or sub (text) file. It can also open a sup file and write it to a sub/idx file or do the opposite (Open a VobSub (sub/idx) file and write it to a sup file). If you have a vobsub file (.sub) without the associated .idx file (or the idx is broken), you can use SubtitleCreator to generate a new one. Go to Tools->Manipulate Sup. Open your IFO file if you have it (just for the color palette), open your sub file and save it as sub, SubtitleCreator will automatically generate the corresponding idx file for you. You can even use VobSub files with the DVD authoring wizard and create them using the Command Line Interface. For the moment, can only input VobSub files extracted using VSRip, wether they include mutiple streams or not. Also allows to add your subtitle stream at the end of an existing VobSub file.
* Added tool to invoke Google translate to automatically translate subtitles
* Using Microsoft Office 2003, implementation of OCR to convert SUP to SRT.
* Support for covering or concealing hard-coded subtitles in a DVD by overlaying them with a non-transparent (black) background. After a manual chapter switch, you have to wait till the first subtitle arrives before it becomes effective (subtitles have no stop time, but need to start).
* Added support in the DVD wizard for wav and mpa files
* Automatic selection of the prefered palette when there is no existing subtitle stream in the original DVD. This will avoid black/green subtitles.
* Added three new command buttons: set the font for a single subtitle, increase and decrease fonts
Bug fixes:
* SC no longer crashes upon encountering the <font "#0000FF">This is in blue</font> tag
* Automatic replacement of non-markup < and > with <s lt/>, <s gt/> or < and >
* Fixed selection of manual when no culture is set, select the language that belongs to the current GUI culture
* No more exception when playing a 2 subs SRT/SUB file with overlay.
* The vertical position of the profiles is now correctly saved and retrieved
* In the result of the DVD authoring wizard audio streams were sometimes mixed.
* An incorrect subtitle file generating an exception will not be automatically reloaded at startup.
* When opening a sup file and writing it, some sup durations were slightly changed. This should not be the case anymore.
* When translating subtitles (in the tools menu), you can now properly scale the window, read an IFO, and save it, even if it was not complete (requires to unselect Clean up spaces during load - must be fixed)
* The "Show actual output" setting is now correctly restored at startup.
* When using the DVD authoring wizard, SRT files can now be used even if they are not in the same Directory as the original DVD files.

First donation received!
After many years of waiting and 182,804 downloads, the unexpected but much appreciated has happened. SubtitleCreator received it's first anonymous $5 donation. After deduction of projects I wanted to sponsor, this leaves me with $3.20, enough for a large cappuccino. So, anonymous donor, thank you very much for your token of appreciation!!!
Very soon, we're expecting to release v2.1b, which has support for VobSub (thanks to manusse), hiding of hard-coded existing subtitles (requested feature), and the translation tool has been improved as well. Besides several minor bug fixes, of course... I'll keep you informed.

SubtitleCreator v2.0.6
If you haven't tried out the new version of SubtitleCreator (which requires the .NETv2.0 framework), have a look at it now!
The most interesting additions, besides a fresher look and feel, are the fact that you can now overlay your subtitles on a DVD and that we've improved the DVD authoring wizard, which helps you adding DVDs while keeping the menu (using other freeware tools such as PgcDemux, MuxMan and VobBlanker).
This version has also localization support for French, Dutch (and English). Let me know if you would like to add your own language too!
Enjoy!
