Last time that I said I figured out how to fansub something I was only partially correct. The way I was doing it before was using the Microsoft Movie Maker that comes with Windows XP and applying a "Subtitle" (preset) to the video. The result was that yes, I could subtitle stuff, but not only was it a pain in the neck to time correctly but it also was extremely limited. Remember how the subtitles weren't really on the bottom and were hard to read?
No more!
I figured out the real way of doing it. It's a little more difficult, but it gives you complete control over the timing, the font color/size/type, etc. It also allows me to save the files as AVIs or MPEGs rather than the low-quality WMV files that the movie maker forced you to use.
YGO Ep 195 - old test
YGO Ep 195 - NEW Test
If you compare, you will see that not only are the subtitles a lot easier to read, the overall quality is a lot better (timing especially).
Now I just need to learn enough Japanese to subtitle an entire episode since there isn't anyone out there currently subbing YGO (at least not that I know of).
Hopefully more to come here.
