Some of the main features are:

Unicode supported for subtitles and language files.
Unicode supported for file names (subtitles and media files).
Advanced subtitle editor supporting both frame and time modes. It has a rich set of functions. Some of them are:

Style editor for editing subtitle styles
Reformat lines (word-wrap): reformat subtitles with various options to fit on selected screen width
Merge/Split - merge 2 subtitle files or split one file to 2 parts
Move/Scale - many variations to change the speed (fps) and time offset
Transitions - cool feature that creates a set of subtitles that show a transition (marquee, fading color and so on)
Correct text - correct OCR errors using configurable set of rules, Spellchecker using GNU ASpell
Correct ending timestamps - fix missing or long/short ending timestamps, automatically compute using character count
Multipoint Linear Resynchronization - synchronize subtitles with variable time errors using a set of synchronization points and distributing the time error linearly between the synchronization points
Dialog translation synchronization
Multiple subtitle formats
Ruby scripting

Integrated advanced movie player with a lot of functions that ease the creation of subtitles. Some of the features are:

Lot of seeking functions to precisely seek to a frame
Integrated editor for creating subtitles as the movie plays
Bookmarks for finding exact starts of dialogs
Support for all media formats that are supported by DirectShow and installed filters (codecs) - not only movies but also music (mp3) and so on. Allows to use DVD Video discs as media files
Support for multi-language movies - can switch audio streams
High integration to the Editor and Translator to help editing and translating
Advanced picture controls like color (gamma, contrast, brightness), zoom, aspect ratio, position and so on
Advanced playlist editor
OSD with information about the media stream & movie data (can be parsed from WWW databases)
Display 1st and 2nd subtitles
Additional media streams
Easy timing (synchronization) of translated dialog scripts.

Translator with 2 integrated views on translated and original subtitles

Both views support editing
The subtitles are linked between views so when a subtitle in one view is selected, the same subtitle in the other view is also selected
Buttons for copying timestamps and texts between both subtitles
Integrated player controls so the translator can listen to the dialogs without switching to the Player

Configurable keyboard (or mouse) shortcuts for many actions, the configuration is exportable as a nice looking HTML table
Limited support for MVD movie files

System requirements:

32 bit Windows. Developed on Windows XP, should work on 2000 also. Probably won't work on 9x editions.
DirectShow and decoder filters for your movies (DirectShow 9)
Matroska filters (at least the splitter, optionally VSFilter for subtitles) for matroska playback. Matroska Muxer and Subtitle Source for the Movie conversion
Processor that can play movies. Developed on Intel P IV 2.66 GHz, but slower are OK. The most CPU intensive thing is the actual movie decoding, so if the movies play in other player, SP will also work.
Memory:Current computers have a lot of memory so it does not matter
Graphic card: Any graphic card that run under Windows and with DirectX with a minimum resolution of 800x600. Overlay support is highly recommended.

DirectShow decoder: You need correct decoders for audio and video. Recommended is the CCCP: Combined Community Codec Pack, based on FFDShow decoder filter.

Windows 9X: Not supported, because SP uses Unicode system calls.

Note: When the program is first run (SubtitleProcessor.ini does not exist), or the language file selected in the INI file does not exist, the default language is English. You can switch to other available languages from the Settings screen.
