Does any one have a word of advice for an inexpensive subtitling software for beginners in the field?

| Sub Station Alpha | Apr 11, 2006 |
Absolutely no experience in the field myself, but have searched for Linux subtitling software a few times before and not found much more than BakaSub.
Since BakaSub was written with Sub Station Alpha very much in mind, it sounds to me as if the latter must have something to say for itself.

Looking things up some more it appears as if SubStation Alpha (or Sub Station Alpha) has become just a file format:

No, but I found several such programs by Googling for subtitling+free+download. I guess you could also Google for captioning.

Your question prompted me to do a web search, download a few, and try them out. I'm not a subtitler, so I don't know what to look for, but here is my list:
DivXLand Media Subtitler
http://www.divxland.org/index.php
Freeware
Installs easily, looks pretty neat. You need Windows Media Player 9+. You may need to download some codecs (indicated on the requirements page).
InqScribe
http://www.inquirium.net/products/inqscribe/index.html
30-day shareware, USD 69.00
Requires registration via e-mail. You need Quick Time 7+. Can use USB footpedal.
Lemony
http://www.jorgemorones.com/lemony/
Time unlimited demo with limitations, EUR 135.00
You need the DotNet 1.1 framework. You need Windows Media Player 9+. Demo version can't save files.
Real Subtitler
http://sourceforge.net/projects/realsubtitler
Free, opensource
You need Real Player installed. Looks quite okay.
Stream SubText
http://www.jorgemorones.com/sst/
15-day shareware, USD 60.00
Requires registration via e-mail. You can still buy it but it is no longer supported.
Sub Station Alpha
http://www.topdownloads.net/software/view.php?id=9740
Freeware (probably unsupported, though)
Highly regarded on several web sites, but it freezes on my computer.
URUSoft Subtitle Workshop
http://www.urusoft.net/products.php?lang=1
Freeware
Installs in a jiffy. Seems nice.
Now I would appreciate it if you could try a few of them and tell us which one is probably better or easier to use.

| Subtitle workshop | Jun 14, 2006 |
This one I reccomend! I have tried a lot, and SW has what is needed. Support lots of sub formats, very easy to work with, easy time/ frame adjusting, translating mode....
I've done about dozen of subs for my personal divx collection with this proggie, and used it on about 50-80 movies to fix timing, lecteuring and to fix minor/large translation errors.
After more than 3 years of using this app and folowing it development I gotta say it tops them all.

| Subtitle Workshop - efficiency | Aug 24, 2006 |
Hi,
I've done subtitling on a professional basis for 5 years, and I'm curious; those of you who know Subtitle Workshop, how many hours do you use on making a 100 titles from scratch on average?
Because if you spend more than 2 hours it would be smarter to spend 2000 euro on a professional software which makes you twice as fast.
