That was my first thought, but I didn't do it because I know nothing of
how subtitles files work. They appear to be text files, but each line is
preceded by numbers in braces, e.g.:
{4597}{4656}Please proceed to Gate 3 now.
I am guessing that the numbers have to do with timing, but I can't make
sense of them. The above subtitle appears a few minutes into the first
CD.
There is also a "header" line that appears at the beginning of the file
and seems important. The first line says:
{1}{1}23.976
Again, I need to gather up some clues.
Another thought I had was to concatenate the two CD files, which are
in .avi format. Once again I am short of clues. But considering how
many people work with video I suppose there is a tool somewhere in my
Fedora 11 repos which will do the job.
Then again, it might be easier to learn Korean.
