It will appear subtitle with different name in folder.. (example: subtitle-id_en_0x20.sup)

Step 3.

Now run DVDSubEdit. Drag your subtitle-id_en_0x20.sup file in DVDSubEdit window (or in File-Open .SUP file)

Note: this is only for subtitles on english languague and in idx/sub format. It works 100%


Step 5.

After all that usually subs will be little out of sync. They can be adjusted in lots of programs, i will explain it with Subtitle Workshop 2.51

Code:

Load your subtitle with CTRL+O and movie with CTRL+P.
You will notice small buttons 1 and 2.

Find some dialog in the begining of the video, make that line blue, wait that sentence to be spoken, and click on button "1", like in the image

After that go to sommewhere to the end of the movie, repeat procedure, just this time click on button "2"

Note: If your subtitle is from same release like video file, that should work 100%, or if you're trying to syncronize to another DVDRip release it works in 97% of the case. Usualy syncronization from TV, VHS, HDTV -> DVD or Blu Ray is not working (Sometimes it is).

thanks for sharing, will try it out

That's working for me. Thanks for share. My search end for this problem.
