I've recorded some documentaries on discovery channel and history channel and stuff and I am going to be showing them to some of.. let's call them my students.
The thing is that some of them are in english and I was wondering if... for some odd reason any of you guys knew of a good program to add subtitles that is easy to handle and UI friendly, as in, no dull not-so-functional crap. Something like "on real time" subtitle adder.

I could just google this and find a crappy program, in fact I did, but I just wanted to know if you guys had any recommendations on an specific program to use?

Thanks in advance.

Windows Movie Maker. Comes default with XP, and works pretty damn good I must say. Not the best Ive heard, but its only text so you dont need to go the extra mile.

There is a cheap movie maker program called ScreenBlast Pro. I doubt you want to spend money, so go with Dark_Marine's idea.

Yes, I know, but the problem with WMM is that it saves on a gay ass format and the videos lose quality no matter what.
Even if it did output in a really good desirable quality WMM can't even open the files I'm subtitling.

Get a free 30 day trial of Macromedia flash MX 2004 ;o

This looks like it right here > http://www.findmysoft.com/Macromedia_Flash_MX-download.html

Macromedia became proprietary property of Adobe a while ago.

So its now called Adobe Flash FX.

Adobe is gay, Macromedia will always be the maker in my books ;o.

Also MACROMEDIA Flash MX 2004 is relativly easy to use ;D

If anyone wants to know this is a very good tool for creating subtitles.

Supports many formats of subtitles and videos. All you have to do is load a video, create a new subtitle and then you can just add lines and lines and you set the start time and end time. Easy as that.

Adobe makes some of the best products in the world.

All of their shitty stuff (eg, Flash), is acquired from other companies.

Eh that Acrobat Reader sure is the best wouldnt you guys say?

They make good software, yes, but it also lags a lot and have a ridiculous large ammount of requirements. They realised so and they started doing the "portable" versions which are just lamer than lame.

Adobe Reader is probably the worst creation ever made by mankind.

Exception that proves the rule.
