![]() ![]() Some few other helpful things you can do with subs on Linux, are for example: splitting a file after a determined period of time, separating overlapped lines, and joining files into a single subtitle. Subs -z movie_subtitle_file1.sub movie_subtitle_file2.sub In that case to merge the subtitle files from let’s say the files movie_subtitle_file1.sub and movie_subtitle_file2.sub use the command: Let’s have another scenario, say that your movie file is encoded to display 24 frames per seconds (fps) but the subtitle file is created to display the subtitles for a 25 fps, to solve this situation subs -i -a 24/25 your_movie_subtitle_file.subĪnother possible scenario where subs command will be a precious asset is if you for example want to merge two subtitle files into one.Let’s say you have subtitles for a movie which are split over in 2 parts and the corresponding subtitles are in 2 different files, but eventually you find a better quality of the movie (DVD quality) in a single file and therefore you need the movie subtitles to be stored in one single file. Now check out the subtitle files once again with your favourite player and the early subtitles display on your movie should be fixed. Now as we have the subs executable installed, Let’s say your movie subtitles displays 5 seconds earlier before the movie scenes (bad timing), all you need to do to adjust your subtitles to show up in correct movie scenes is subs -i -b 5 your_movie_subtitle_file_name.sub Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Subtitles.3pmĪppending installation info to /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/perllocal.pod Installing /usr/local/man/man1/subplay.1p Installing /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Subtitles.pm Linux:/usr/local/src/Subtitles-1.0# make install Linux:/usr/local/src/Subtitles-1.0# make testĪll tests successful.Files=1, Tests=17, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.06 cusr 0.01 csys = 0.12 CPU)Result: PASS Linux:/usr/local/src/Subtitles-1.0# perl Makefile.PL Here is the commands with which to compile and install Subtitles: Compile and install Subtitles system widePitily the Subtitles tools are not currently available as a packages in the repositories of Debian and Ubuntu Linux and thus easy installation without compilation via apt-get is unfortunately not available.

Subtitles is the Linux subtitle Swiss Army Knife as it is capable of convert, join, split, and re-time of subtitles files The Subtitles text utility is written in Perl and contains two executables subplay and subs. Luckily there is a work-around to this subtitles timing issues and other mishaps caused by guys who created a Movie subtitle files with a Windows subtitle editor program, subtitles timing, the Linux work-around takes a few more minutes to install a package called Subtitles In this dark moments I get seriously irritated I am not a regular Windows user, where such kind of problems are almost none as many of the Windows movie player problems does fix bad timing issues automatically. However at many occasions trying to watch the movie with different kind of movie player does not help. The most common problems I face with subtitles are caused by bad timing, many times the solution to the bad timing issues is very simpleand comes up to changing the default movie player I use MPlayer to VLC or Totem. I mostly use Mplayer, Totem or VLC to watch the common video files. ![]() As a Linux user I sometimes face difficulties with watching subtitled, movies.
