SubTitles appearing late while playing DVD

a_to_z123 · 12-12-2005, 09:28 PM

Well I've quite a few DVDs on which sub-titles appear quite late with respect to the audio.

I tried in vain to find an option to delay subtitles but failed.

I play DVDs directly in the DVD-ROM. This happens with only some DVDs not all.

Can anybody help me fix this problem....

Thx in advance...

Try different players and also try reducing the monitor's refresh rate.. heard sumwhere that it helps...

that problem was created during the creation of the DVD so there's nothing much u can do abt it....

One thing you can do I convert the DVD to avi and download subttles from the net and watch 'em using VobSub....

well if its a pre-loaded subtitle and it goes out of sync with video then its an error done while the insertion of the subtitle in the video while creating it.;so basically it cant be modified.wat u can do is wat nikhil said.
its the more usual thing tat we do: as we download movies frm net,we download subtiltes separately frm diff sites(make a google search)and then insert it in movie(i use crystal player it has an option to attach subtitle to movie)

Okie I got ur point.

The subtitles r in-built with the DVD.

I also thought that the DVD was itself faulty.

a_to_z_123, is your DVD the original edition? if so i dont think there shud be any problems... it may be the other way round too.. the audio getting delayed... did u see that the audio o/p synched with the actors' ?? i and many of u wud hav experienced this prblem at times.. the audio losing track of! may be u cud try again to make sure. also is the delay constant?

and i hav seen possibility of delaying subtitles in DVD rip movies where we additionally add subtitles and play with vobsub... in VLC media player.. thats real good option... hope something is available for DVDs too..

I downloaded some subtitles n I played it with the DivX movie in VLC Player. There is a certain time lag b/w the subtitles and the dialog delivery. Its the subtitle which comes late.I saw an option to delay the time further for the subtitles bt none to gt it early.I tried giving -ve time also bt to no avail. Plz help

Boss, use Gspot to find out the Framerate. Then d/l the subtitle for that Framerate and then view with VLC player.
