Apparently one can work on pac-files with the freeware Titlevision TV2003 Edit, with which you can work on translation, not spotting (=timing). You can download it here: http://www.titlevision.com/eng_download.htm#edit Does anybody have any experiences they would like to share? Any compatibility problems, crashing or the like?

Are there any other free/inexpensive subtitling softwares that support pac and allow you to work on translation and/or spotting? ▲ Collapse

I sometimes use Poliscript :

Which is quite good, and they have a "Pay as you go" plan which works out quite cheap. You still have to take that into account in your final pricing.

I think there are also online subtitling software with a similar "pay as you go" system.

Good luck with your project!

How to check the video? May 24, 2011

Hi again and sorry for my delayed response.

I have managed to work on pac-files with Titlevision Editor with no problems. However, the free Editor version provides no video feed, so I need some advice on how to check the translation on the video.

Any other software for that? In what format should I save the translation and in what format do I need the video to be? Titlevision Editor reads and writes pac, rac, 890, and text files, but I am willing to try others as... See more
