A much easier program to create subtitles is with AEGISUB.
This is available from http://www.pardususer.de/Community Depot/pardus-2011/ (only for Pardus 2011)
Making a new subtitle file for Subtitle Composer.
As Subtitle Composer can not create a new empty subtitle file, open a new file in Kwrite and copy/paste
1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000
including a <enter> (or CR) at the end of line 2.
Save this file as any_name.srt
Creating a combined video-subtitle file.
Use Avidemux (GTK) to combine the source video file and the subtitle file
The settings which I use with my Canon PowerShot A430 are (they can be used as a starting point):
Video > MPEG-4 ASP (Xvid)
Configure > Main > Encoding type: Two Pass - Average Bitrate
> Motion & Misc > no mark at As Input 13:9
Filters > Subtitles > Subtitler (srt/sub) > + > browse and select the .ass file
> Font (TTF): /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/VeraSeBd.ttf
> Encoding: Latin-1 (Western European)
or > ASS (ass/ssa) > + > browse and select the .ass file
Audio > Copy
Format > AVI
The result of the settings can only be viewed in the with "Save" generated name.avi file
