Life In 19x19

Hi, friends

I have some recent Baduk TV videos (with commented pro games) and I have Baduk TV permission to post them.
I plan to make English and Russian subtitles first.
Two questions.

1. What is the best program for adding subtitles?
2. Each file is 150-200 mb long. Shall I create separated (smaller) parts and post them to youtube? Or use another service, similar to youtube.

Thx for your suggestions

I like youtube. EuroGoTv is hosting their videos there and I have no complaint.

Subtitle Workshop looks promising, and it's free.

Make a bittorrent verion available to so we can watch the videos in whole then.

If you want to make German or Spanish subtitles aswell I might be able to help, though most Baduk players are fine with English.

Aegisub is supposed to be pretty good. My preferred distribution would be softsubbed mkv files via torrent.

My preference is towards anything that can be streamed, though download options are, of course, always convenient as secondary. Thanks for working on this!

Thanks.

Actually, I like the 10 minute split. Or at least don't have a problem with it. I seldom have 1h chunks to watch videos. But I can squeeze in several 10 min chunks spaced out during a few days.

Well, there are cases where having to load an hour long video to watch 10 minutes is burdensome. Consider a mobile device, a slow internet connection, etc. But perhaps these aren't frequent enough use cases to worry about.

Regardless of length, anything streamable is convenient. If the only option was torrents or something, mobile devices (which I could see myself using) could not view the video, in addition to adding a few minutes of overhead to watch the file.

If you have right to the videos, vimeo is great for videos. I also would like to help to translate videos to Polish if you don't mind

megavideo is a great hosting site... insanely fast, and you can host the whole thing

blip.tv is the best for longer videos

A second for Vimeo - alternatively, I've heard you can get what they call a "Director's account" or something at YouTube and have no limit on video length.
