    Hello, I am new in this forum. I would be grateful if you could help me.
    I have downloaded all the 12 seasons of an old serial, but I have a problem of subtitle timing
    in one of them, especially this one which has the mark of a TV channel. I noticed that the picture is different from the other 11 seasons. It's not the first time I face a similar problem, i.e. when I find an old movie or serial which has been downloaded from a TV channel. Is there something special in this occasion; Might be a problem of Input FPS; I don't know how to handle this parameter

    Are you talking about the video itself?
    SW is a subtitle tool, not a video editor.
    For that, you would search for Virtualdub, Adobe After Effects ou Sony Vegas.

    But if it's some number mark inside subtitles, we need a sample to know what it is.

    Note that SW handles single files.
    If your subs are embbeded into a MKV or MP4 video file, first you have to extract them to work with.

    I don't want to edit the video. The problem is that in this special case, when the video comes from a TV Channel, so I can see the mark of the channel, is impossible to adjust properly the subs. In all the other cases, as happens in the other 11 seasons of the serial and the great majority of downloaded films and serials, the episodes that have been uploaded by the seeders are the originals, i.e. those which have been released by the producing company, and not from a TV channel-there is no channel mark-, and I have NO PROBLEM to adjust the subs. Why the problem arises when the video downloaded comes directly from a TV channel and is impossible to adjust the subs; An assumption is that the initial video, upon which the subs I have found were adjusted, contained ads, other messages etc which then were extracted. Thanks

    It's impossible to understand what are you talking about.
    Subtitles are NOT video's mark dependent.
    Subtiles are text files with time codes. Period.
    They depends of audio events.

    Sorry.

    The problem is not the subs but the film video. I can't adjust the subs with the WS in certain cases and I have been facing the same problems for years.
    The sub file I find in these cases in the web need to be adjusted. When the film video I have downloaded is the original, i.e. as it was released by the company, there is no adjustment problem.
    But when a seeder uploads a video which doesn;t come directly from the company but he had first downloaded from TV and then he uploaded it, I can't adjust the subs. I can adjust the first and last sub in the text but not the majority of the others. Only in these cases it's impossible to adjust the sub files. Previously I made an assumption to explain the problem. Maybe the initial film video, upon which the subs I have found were adjusted, contained ads, other messages etc which then were extracted, so my film video is different from the initial one which used the person who created the subs.

    You had said about it several times and I understood it came from TV rip.
    What I can't understand is why it prevents to adjust subtitles.
    No video mark can hinder to adjust subtitles.

    I agree, I used the word "mark" to pinpoint that the film video has been downloaded from TV. I gave a possible explanation. Have you ever faced a problem when you adjust subs in such videos;
