compressing subtitles

[jernst]

I know text files subtiltles files are not that big, but it would be nice to include the possibility to have rared sub files (I know there is a dll to easyly read rar archives) they could be specified in bsi/ini files like this:

[Subtitles]
Sub1=Fran?§ais|french.rar

Another option (even better) would be to include all subtitles files in one rar archive and to use filenames (without extention) as language names:

[Subtitles]
Subs=subtitles.rar

the space used by the subtitles can be easyly divided by factor 2 or more like this...

Thanks for this great software !

Some formats produce much larger files than others.
Try the MicroDVD format - it's so small that you can't seriously want to compress that any further!

For instance, a 3 hour movie makes subtitles about 70kB large.
Why would you want anything smaller than that?!?

To find subtitle tools including converters, go to Divx Digest.
