I downloaded subtitles for “Sein Letztes Rennen”. I got the DVD as a gift. Anyway, the subtitles seem to be maybe 15 or 30 seconds behind the actual speech. It is a .srt file. Is there a way to add some time to the subtitles without editing every single line of the srt file? ---

I believe there’s some online tools to help with that. however… it might be easier to actually use a subtitle that matches your video – what about the VOBSUB included on the DVD? e.g. MakeMKV can automatically include the original subtitles in a MKV container; it’s a little tricker when it comes to MP4/M4V containers as those don’t officially support image based subtitles (as far as I could figure this out) – however there’s some tools supporting OCR to convert those image based subtitles into SRT ---

I looked in the DVD but there was no obvious file name. Should I look for a .vob or .sub? Windows 7 does not show file extensions though. ---

you can e.g. use `MakeMKV` to rip the DVD as MKV file which can include the original DVD subtitles. Alternatively you can e.g. use `Handbrake` to rip the DVD and keep the original subtitles as well (requires MKV container). There’s no named files on the DVD you can copy and paste. ---
