Gnome Subtitles now has a new domain name. Make sure to update your bookmarks!
http://gnomesubtitles.org
Ilya from Bombono DVD has just posted a guide recommending Gnome Subtitles for preparing sources. The main guide for creating your DVDs is available here.
Quoting DistroWatch:
MoLinux 6.2, an Ubuntu-based distribution sponsored by the Spanish regional government of Castilla-La Mancha and deployed extensively in the region's public administration offices and schools, has been released. Some of the most important features of the new version include: based on Ubuntu 10.10; new window design for the log-in screen; new icon theme (GNOME-Wine); hardware compatibility improvements; latest versions of applications included in the distributions; new applications and utilities such as JDownloader, a download manager, Gnome Subtitles, a subtitle editor, support for 7zip file compression in File Roller (...)
Ubuntu users wanting to update to the latest version while it doesn't hit the official repositories, there's a PPA made available by WebUpd8:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-subtitles
I'm proud to announce the immediate availability of version 1.1, a release which features the amazing work of two important contributors: Arx Cruz and Valmir Sena. This includes:
New feature for quickly setting times with a single button: pressing sets the start time, releasing sets the end time, then moves to the next subtitle
Periodically backup subtitle files, configurable in the preferences
New features for video seeking and subtitle selection:
Video->Loop Selection - loop the video playback to the selected subtitles
Video->Seek to Selection - seek the video to the selected subtitle
Video->Select Nearest Subtitle - select the subtitle for the video position
Video->Auto Select Subtitle - auto select subtitles as the video is playing
Changes in the Timings Synchronize dialog:
Fixed a bug using the Synchronize All Subtitles option
Activating a sync point now seeks to its new time instead of the old one
Fixed a bug drag-and-dropping files with spaces in their path
Use ISO-8859-1 as the fallback and default encoding in the File Open list
