FPS value - what is it ?

Q1: FPS value - what is it ?

FPS it's short-name for Frames Per Second. As you know every video file is made of frames. DivX movies are not an exception. But there is one problem: people who make DivX movies like to set FPS value on different level. Some movies are encoded with 25.0 frames shown per second some 23.something, etc...

What it means for YOU & why TA asks for that value ?

I made TA to ask you for FPS value only if it's REALLY necessary. The problems occurs when for example you load subtitle file written in FRAME format & want to convert it into f/e: MPL2 Time format. In source file there is only information such: at frame 1000 show subtitle until frame 1025 etc... and without information how to translate frames into seconds (time) such conversion is not possible. That's the job for FPS value.

Once again: FPS = 25.0 means that during watching one second of DivX movie you will see 25 frames. When TA have this value conversion is possible.

Q2: FPS value - how to get it ?

I understand that not everyone in fast enough to count number of frames per second only by watching DivX movie ;-D That's why TA can help you & extract this value for video file. All you have to do is to select "AVI info" button and load your DivX. Even more - if you're converting subtitle file and FPS value is required ->use "Load FPS form AVI" button, load AVI file and finally select "OK" button. FPS field will be auto-filled by movie FPS.

AVI PLAYER - usage

AVI PLAYER - usage

Avi player it's a part of Time Adjuster.

This player has one important task: TO HELP you in SYNCHRONIZING your subtitle file with DivX video.

General idea:

Desynchronization of subtitle files can be removed by Time Adjuster by using SYNCHRONIZE command.

This command requires to select two lines - one on the beginning of subtitle file and one on the end.

Then you have to enter time/or frame (depends on subtitle format) when this line has to appear on the screen.

All rest lines will be recalculated and synchronized to video !

Do you think that it couldn't be easier ? You're WRONG ;-D ! It could be easier and IT IS !

You don't have to enter manually those time/frame data !

You can lunch avi player, load move and when move is being played just push a button when selected line should appear.

Time Adjuster will auto-fill proper fields in synchronize dialog according to data extracted form avi player.

Here description of some AVI PLAYER buttons and features:

1 This is SEEKING BAR - allows you to quick seek around video file.

2 This button opens video file.

3 This button stops playback.

4 This button pauses/resumes playback of video file.

5 Those two buttons allow to make quick jumps forward and back.

6 Here you can slow down movie playback.

7 Click on this button when line we're seeking is being played. Current time/frame will be used by SYNCHRONIZATION dialog.

8 Current movie position.

9 Last selected movie position.

10 Change state of this button if you want or not playback window to be stick to control panel.

11 This is the line we're seeking ! Press button 7 when it will appear in movie.

If you loaded movie and found point when selected line should appear click on "OK". Proper value will be transfered to SYNCHRONIZATION dialog.

If you want to abandon changes click on "Cancel".

Avi player uses DirectX technology.

Help to translate TA

You can speak FOREIGN language

(different than listed bellow) ?

Maybe you could translate Time Adjuster ?!

It's easy and wouldn't take you more than 20 minutes...

- your name will be placed in "Help" menu of the program !

- your local community will be able to use Time Adjuster in their native language !

How to do it ?

· step 1: Go to Time Adjuster web site and download the most recent version of this application (even if it has the same version number as yours - because I often add new lanf. files without changing version number) - and check if your language is not already supported.

· step 2: Open in any text editor (f/e: in Windows Notepad) file: ENGLISH_language.lan

(this file is located in languages directory.)

· step 3: Translate all text lines in the file.

· step 4: Save file as: YourLangauage_language.lan

· step 5: Send me this file with your Name & contact e-mail at: irekz@yahoo.com

One more thing:

line 0110: contains name of the font used in main window - leave it "Arial" or change to the name of font

that contains characters proper for your language for example: Arial CE (for Centrall European characters).

\n in text file means: new line, \t means: tab space

Also: you don't have to translate lines starting "//" it's just a comment.

The most recent list of languages already supported by Time Adjuster is available HERE.

7 - Here you can see number of selected line in source file. If file is in format where for example file-line number xx - doesn't mean subtitle number xx (for example in STR format where one subtitle can have many lines) - you can select line in source file and click at this number here - value will be retranslated to subtitle number.

8 - Creature walking trought your desktop - even this is possible in Time Adjuster ;-D. It's not a virus - just a funny stuff, you can disable in configuration menu.


Time format 00:00:00

It's format that contains two type of data:

· time (when to show subtitle line) in hour, minute, second

· text line to show

Data are organized in following way:

hh:mm:ss:text line|second line

where:

hh - hour

mm - minute

ss - second

| - in text line is a line separator (like enter)

Example:

00:00:16:The Empire of Izmer|has long been a divided land.
00:00:22:Ruled by the Mages,|an elite group of magic users.
00:00:26:The lowly Commoners,|those without magic...
00:00:29:are little more than slaves.
00:00:32:Izmer's young Empress Savina...
00:00:35:wishes equality|and prosperity for all.


Time format 0:00:00

It's format that contains two type of data:

· time (when to show subtitle line) in hour, minute, second

· text line to show

Data are organized in following way:

hh:mm:ss:text line|second line

where:

h - hour

mm - minute

ss - second

| - in text line is a line separator (like enter)

Example:

0:00:16:The Empire of Izmer|has long been a divided land.
0:00:22:Ruled by the Mages,|an elite group of magic users.
0:00:26:The lowly Commoners,|those without magic...
0:00:29:are little more than slaves.
0:00:32:Izmer's young Empress Savina...
0:00:35:wishes equality|and prosperity for all.


Time format MPL2 [xxx][xxx]

It's format that contains following data:

· time (when to show subtitle line) in TPOS

· time (when to hide subtitle line) in TPOS

· text line to show

Data are organized in following way:

[xxx][yyy]text line|second line

where:

xxx - time when to show subtitle line

yyy - time when to hide subtitle line

| - in text line is a line separator (like enter)

This format can have information about when to hide subtitle, but it's not necessary.

When this information is not available second time value is empty. For example:

[260][]The lowly Commoners,|those without magic...

Example:

[160][170]The Empire of Izmer|has long been a divided land.
[220][240]Ruled by the Mages,|an elite group of magic users.
[260][]The lowly Commoners,|those without magic...
[290][305]are little more than slaves.
[320][330]Izmer's young Empress Savina...
[350][]wishes equality|and prosperity for all.


Time format SRT 00:00:00,xxx --> 00:00:00,xxx

It's format that contains following data:

· time (when to show subtitle line) in hour, minute, second, 1/1000 of sec

· time (when to hide subtitle line) in hour, minute, second, 1/1000 of sec

· text line to show

Data are organized in following way:

X
h1:m1:s1,xxx --> h2:m2:s2,yyy
first text line
second text line etc...

where:

X - number of text line

h1,h2 - hour when to show/hide text line

m1,m2 - minute when to show/hide text line

s1,s2 - second when to show/hide text line

xxx,yyy - number of 1/1000 of second when to show/hide text line

In this format character "|" doesn't mean new line.

So when converting from other formats Time Adjuster removes this character and puts new line instead.

This format can have information about when to hide subtitle, but it's not necessary.

When this information is not available second time values are 0. For example:

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:00,000

Example:

1
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The Empire of Izmer
has long been a divided land.
2
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000

| - in text line is a line separator (like enter)

This format has many headers, that can contain author name, file path, title etc...

When TA works over this format it saves those headers and add to output files. When you're converting this format to others all headers WILL BE LOST !

When you convert file to this format default header will be generated.

This format doesn't contain information when to hide subtitle but some files has empty lines that are sort of hiding mechanism.

Time format Sub Station Alpha

Time Adjuster supports version 4.0 of SSA script files.

This format has many headers.

When TA works over this format it saves those headers and add to output files. When you're converting this format to others all headers WILL BE LOST !

When you convert file to this format default header will be generated. In this format character: "|" doesn't mean "new line" and when converting to SSA this characters will be converted to "\n" string.

When working over this format - precision will be limited to 1/10 of second.

Specification of this format is very long. You can a lot of information about this format at: http://www.eswat.demon.co.uk/substation.html

mm:ss.xx,hh:mm:ss.xx - similar in some points to Sub Station Alpha (unknown name)

I don't know the name and origin of this format. It's similar to SSA but only in some points.

This format has many headers.

When TA works over this format it saves those headers and add to output files. When you're converting this format to others all headers WILL BE LOST !

When you convert file to this format default header will be generated. In this format character: "|" means "new line".

When working over this format - precision will be limited to 1/10 of second.

So when converting from other formats Time Adjuster removes this character and puts new line instead.

This format can have information about when to hide subtitle, but it's not necessary.

When this information is not available second time values are 0. For example:

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:00,000
