A long time ago, my mother did subtitling for a Singaporean company. I'm not sure what media they used, but I think they were VHS tapes. She had to write down the timecodes and enter them into the software that the company provided. The company should tell you what they want the output to be. It won't hurt to have subtitling software available anyway, and there are some free ones. | | | Paulinho Fonseca Brazil Local time: 11:45 Member (2011) English to Portuguese + ...
