The digital subbing group responsible for editing, translating, and embedding subtitles.
If you want a single file that always shows the subtitles (e.g., for a device that can’t load external tracks), you can re‑mux or re‑encode the video with subtitles baked in. | | Audio out of sync | Variable‑frame-rate
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | | Video codec not supported (rare for MP4) | Update VLC to the latest version; otherwise re‑encode with HandBrake to H.264/AVC. | | Audio out of sync | Variable‑frame-rate (VFR) source or subtitle timing mismatch | In VLC, enable Tools → Preferences → Input/Codecs → Synchronisation → “Desync audio” and adjust, or use Subtitle → Sub Track → Delay . | | Black screen / “unsupported codec” | Corrupt file or missing video track | Verify the hash (section 1) or re‑download from a trusted source. | | Subtitles show garbled characters | Wrong encoding (e.g., Shift‑JIS vs. UTF‑8) | Open the subtitle in a text editor (Notepad++, VS Code). Use Encoding → Convert to UTF‑8 and save. | | File won’t play on a mobile device | Device only supports MP4 with H.264 video & AAC audio | Re‑encode with HandBrake: Preset → Fast 720p30 (or the resolution your phone can handle). | UTF‑8) | Open the subtitle in a text
