adding subtiles to hero

[blaster999]

There was two parts to my request

1. I believe that there is sofware for adding subtitle lifted from one film and
added to another (subs from sd play from hd )

2. my french copy of hero is the directors cut and 10 minutes longer than my PAL uk release. If some kind soul has access to the stripped sub titles for the directors could they pls pass them on

You can use SW like TitleDrome to add subtitles over the video image when playing the HD movie on a PC based environment. There are also some playback SW packages that support external subtitles (like Nero player). TitleDrome is not free SW but there's a Lite version that's free but comes with some annoying advertisement texts and the full version can be used for some time as a free trial as well before buying.

You need to find the subtitles from somewhere in the internet in SubRip format. With Google searches it's quite easy to find sites that have loads of subs in SubRip format. I'm not sure about the legal aspects of internet distribution of ripped subtitles so I don't want to provide direct links for that reason.

I only tried it once with TitleDrome (on a free trial period) with another movie and it worked pretty well, however I don't really want to watch movies on my PC environment as I have to make do with a 24 inch display and stereo sound in that case.
