You favorite software is back, one year after the latest release.
The menu is quite tasting today with:
- Find panel has been integrated to the toolbar, with ENTER/SHIFT ENTER short cuts
- At last the Undo/Redo is enabled ! permits to undo/redo subtitles sync actions
=> you can not undo/redo SUBTITLE direct edition (like time or subtitle text), it only works for sync actions, like delay, magic resync….
but Eh ! It must keep work to do.
You can find this delivery on sourceforge site.

Free is the current Sears site host.
Last week Free decided to close the Sears site, because of the large amount of spam that were detected.
Each opened blog is the target of various spam. I am using an anti-spam plugin but this is not enough.
I succeeded in reopened it, but Free decided to erase the “comment” table that was full of spam.
The problem is that we have lost all your comments, and you can not let new comments.
I am sorry, I will try to restore those comments or at least reactivate them.

Using anchors to resynchro your subtitles is the easyest way.
You must have first defined and configured VLC player in the options.
Then open your subtitle file, open the corresponding video file.
1)Launch the video play.

2)Then you just have to click in the first column, on the dot (
) to define anchors.
You have to click at the time you want the subtitle to appears.
Once anchored, the subtitle line color become green, and an anchor (
) appears in the first column.

To remove a defined anchor, just re-click on the anchor (
).
You have to define at least 2 anchors to have the magic resynchro (
) available.
The best is to anchor a subtitle near the begining of the video, and antoher near the end.
But you can define as many anchors as necessary.
The more anchor you define, the best the resynchro will be.
3)Once you are ready, just click on the magic resynchro button (
).
Your file as been resynchronized.
TIP: To fix synchro problems due to an advertisement removing:
Add an anchor at the begining of the video, one at the end.
Define an anchor on the subtitle just before the ad, and another on the subtitle just after the ad.
Apply the magic resynchro.
The delay problems around the ad will be removed !
