Hi!

If you made a subtitle-file yourself, you have to insert the time and the lenght for every text-line, so the player knows when and how long the text-line should displayed...

there are a lot of different formats/syntaxs out there:

.srt

1
00:01:24,223 --> 00:01:25,417
Welcome to Miami.

2
00:01:25,663 --> 00:01:28,939
While in the airport, please
observe Florida laws...

.sub

{423}{557}16th July 1988 , Tokyo
{1531}{1556}31 years after the|Third World War
{1563}{1601}AD 2019 in New Tokyo
{2071}{2157}AKIRA

so it will be impossible for a long film to made it by hand.


If you have already time-information with the text you can
try to convert it with a tool named "Ultimate Subtitle Converter"
it has a gui and allows you to trim and convert subtitles from and to different formats...
