Anyone who works with subtitles – either for themselves or for others – is most likely familiar with Aegisub, an open-source program designed to make creating subtitles for video extremely easy. Thus many people will be glad to hear that version 2.1.8 of Aegisub has been released. It can be downloaded for Windows, OSX, and Unix over at the Aegisub website.
This release features slew of bug fixes. A major change that users will notice is that audio is now no longer opened when a video is opened – the audio must be opened and loaded into RAM separately. We are told that this is due to an aging playback system that was not coded correctly to begin with, and that using this method will prevent highly-reported problems with audio/video desync when playing video. This will, however, mean that the program will be more taxing on RAM if you need the audio, as many users do. Support for Windows Vista and Windows 7 is also improved, as well as Mac and Unix support. For a full list of changes, see the 2.1.8 changelog.
