.josh Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 You can't. not without source files. Best you can do is load it into something like flash and create a layer on top of the movie with a box masking the subtitles and then create another layer on top of that where you put your own.

TheUnknown Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 when you say source files do you mean the files within the dvd since this a chunk out of a movie? Or the actually avi/flv file at youtube? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 well if you have the original non-subtitled movie, then sure, that works. But if the original movie has the subtitles in it, then you're pretty much out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 You need to extract the video from the DVD. A DVD video will typically contain different versions of the subtitles that the user can choose and they are separate from the video itself. But, in order to convert video to a format that does not support subtitles (i.e. youtube) the subtitles must be made part of the video itself and cannot be removed at that point. Think of the subtitles in a DVD like the signs in front of a fast food restaurant where the establishment can affix different letters on their sign to hawk the deal of the day. Then, when converting to a format that does not support subtitles the analogy would be someone painting the actual letters on their sign. You need to get the DVD of the movie and extract the video you want to work with. Then use a video authoring application to add your own subtitles. Then convert to whatever format you want.
