Serge you are a gentleman. I am sure your english is far better than most of
our russian. I am thinking that vodka niet and da is about as far as most of
us go.

> Hello List,

> It was a request yesterday about English subtitles for Sikhote-Alin movie.

> I decided to play a little bit here. So I created some subtitles for a

> I cut the end of the movie and kept the only part with field works.
> I want you not to judge me so much because that was my first experience

> is far away from perfect ;-)
> Also for some reason the software changed the size of the file (and screen
> resolution) so now the file is about 70Mb (was 56Mb) and instead of actual
> 320x240 I have 640x480.
> You can switch your player to 50% view and it will be the same quality as

> One more time: that was my first try with this software and correction of

> I played for 9 hours but I can see now that I can do it! That was a fun
