This program is free. You may do whatever you want with it: however I advice that
it should be used for editing subtitle files. I am not responsible for whatever
you do with the software; if you think otherwise don't use it.
What does it do?
----------------
SubShift is a quick hack to recode subtitles that are out of sync. Using it is really easy.
The application was written in Visual C++ using MFC and should work on any Windows machine.
Shifting time in a subtitle file
--------------------------------
1) start up the movie in your favorite player
2) wait for the first spoken sentence and determine the timeframe of that sentence.
(for example: the first sentence is "hello" after approx. 10 seconds).
3) locate the first sentence in the subtitle (.srt) file. This will look something like
1
00:00:06,070 --> 00:00:08,070
Hello.
As you can see, the subtitle starts at 6 secs. To make it start at 10, we need to shift
all subs +4 seconds to make it appear in sync.
There are other ways to determine the required time shift; however this method is most
precise.
4) start the application
5) fill in the required time parameters and click 'do it'
6) the subtitle will be saved as 'subtitle_new.srt' in the same directory.
