Hi! First post!

I hope I'm putting this question in the right place! I'm a noob to fansubbing and I'm having some problems with subtitle timings. I'm trying to add subs to a Japanese DVD. I've ripped the DVD to my hard drive, and made an AVI of it. From there, I tried timing my subs to the AVI in a program called subtitle workshop, and everything looked good. When I added the subs to the DVD, though, the subs were messed up - They started off okay, but drifted out of sync as the film went on. Another thing I noticed was that the AVI & the DVD were not the same runtime - they were 4 seconds different. I can't seem to create an AVI that's the same runtime as the DVD.

I had been using subtitle workshop, but switched over to Aegisub after reading some posts on the forums. Any raw audio that I rip, though, is slightly longer than the DVD... sigh.

Thanks for the help!
