subtitle editing

[roopeshvp]

I wanted to add 9 seconds to each of the subtitle in my file to have it in sync with video.
I wrote an awk prg for it, and it did what i was trying to do. the video is in sync with subtitles now.
now when i play the video with this new subtitles file, movie player quits when it reaches a particular subtitle. every time it quits when it reaches the same place. this does not happen with the original subtitle file.
original file

00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:23,618
...in which I have grown
from childhood to a man!

44
00:09:24,757 --> 00:09:26,554
I had sworn by those
alps and peaks...

Any idea why this happens??

why did you edit the subtitle file? You can use the X and Z hotkeys in mplayer to move through the subtitles while playing the movie

I see no reason for it to crash as long as you added 9 seconds to the subtitle following those 2 lines.
Otherwise that could cause an overlap conflict.

There is a possibility that the start or end time for that subtitle may be falling between a key frame.

I'd try adjusting the sub times by a few milliseconds.
And try it with VLC.
I've had some weird problems with movie player while playing some video files. Played the same in VLC and had no issues.
