[nos]

hi...i don't really know where to post this but ill post it here....is there any way to remove subtitles from a movie cuz i downloaded this movie and it has subtitles in another language but the movie it self is in english....so i find the subtitles to be annoying. Is there a way to remove it? Thx in advance

the only way i can think of is cropping, buit that will **** up the movie.
I would just download it again, or rent-n-rip it

oh...ic....but i downloaded the movie and it had the subtitle in already.....and im too lazy to rent-n-rip..

When the subtitles are merged with the movie, it is near impossible to remove the subtitles, and also without causing adverse damage to the video.

If theres an app out there that has a clone tool, and will let you edit the move frame by frame, that would be the only solution I can think of. Lets see, if it takes you about 3 minutess to remove subtitles from one frame, on a 90 min movie thats equal to 15 hours of pure nonstop work, so get going now so you can be done next month!

this clone program.....where can i get it?

Use nandub/VirtualDUB and save the video as image-sequence. Then you can edit every frame with your favorit bmp-editor. After that you use bmp2avi to recombine the bmps to a video.

Or you make a black mask for every subtitle (not for every frame, only for every subtitle) and us VD with the logo-filter to black-out every sub.

Both ways will take a loooot of time.

If you are fortunate enough to have the subtitles appearing below the movie image (rather than across the image itself, you can "erase" the subtitles by using VirtualDub as follows (it's not as complicated as it sounds):

1) Load the .AVI into VirtualDub
2) Set "Audio" to "Direct Stream Copying"
3) Set "Video" to "Full Processing Mode"
4) From under the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Compression" and select the same codec and settings that were used for the original .AVI
5) From under the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Filters"
6) Click on the "Add" radio button
7) Doubleclick on the "Null transform" filter
8) Click on the "Cropping" radio button
9) Enter the proper amount in the "Y2 offset" (at lower left) to cut off the subtitles
10) Click on "OK"
11) Click on the "Add" radio button
12) Doubleclick on the "Resize" filter
13) Under "New width and height" enter the NEW dimensions of your cropped video (e.g. 720x440)
14) Select "Precise bicubic"
15) Put a checkmark in "Expand frame and letterbox image"
16) Set "frame width" and "frame height" to the ORIGINAL dimensions (e.g. 720x480)
17) Click on "OK" (brings you back to primary "Filters" screen" and then click on "OK" (to get back to main VirtualDub screen)
18) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save AVI" and save with a NEW filename

Let us know of your success ;>}

I wonder why this topic is still open. I thought its not allowed to talk bout "downloaded" movies.

So much about piracy

Good point - the thread is very old and has been resusitated by slowjoe.
