thx, for the info. could not find the programs (my bad) but your comments together with the good old internet came across a workaround that seems to work. Using libreoffice calc to change the code and then wordpad to write a txt and then jubler to make the subtitles
Hi, I am trying to add chinese subtitles to a dvd movie. I started by downloading a chinese translation SRT file, and importing it. As i open the file it is on default, but not in chinese. As i change the font to a chinese font (big5) the text changes to chinese characters. But as i save the file to an ass file, and then burn it with handbrake into a new file, the subtitels are in the "default", and not in chinese. What am i doing wrong?
