How to install

Most distributions should have KSubtile in their package manager already. On Debian/Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Other derivates type:

apt-get install ksubtile

On Gentoo:

emerge ksubtile

It is also possible to fetch the source package from the project page and install it manually:

tar -xvjf ksubtile_x.x.tar.bz2
cd ksubtile-x.x
./configure
make
sudo make install

To compile yourself you should have the development libraries of KDE >= 3.2.3 and QT >= 3.2.3 and also automake and autoconf.

KSubtitle comes with a good Handbook.

Tips & Tricks

If you are editing a subtitle, remember to click the Apply button. If you navigate to another subtitle or select another tabpage then the new subtitle is lost.
If special characters are not shown correct, check the encoding in the MPlayer preferences (Subtitles & OSD).
