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

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

You should save your subtitles in SRT Jun 12, 2011

Tittlevision supports exporting your subtitles in SRT format. Then you can view and edit them in Subtitle Workshop.
