Sergey, Outstanding bit of work, welldone!! Congratualtions, you have done the meteorite world a great service.
The film really comes to life when one can actually understand it!

I decided to play a little bit here. So I created some subtitles for a part of the movie. 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 with this software. I translated sentence by sentence from the voice behind the screen. I also used an online translator from Russian to English. It paid off as long as I wanted to do this job fast to see if I'm able to create something like that. Of course I modified sentences but not all of them and not perfect. Actually I can't modify them perfect as long as my own English 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 original (I guess ;-)). One more time: that was my first try with this software and correction of video files at all. I played for 9 hours but I can see now that I can do it! That was a fun for me yesterday! If somebody thinks that I should try more and keep translating the rest of the movie (some nice meteorites from great collection of Russian academy of sciences are showing on the end of it without translation) I can find some time later to do this. But I think that first part must be re-done to be more readable. If somebody has an interest to help me with this please send me your thoughts of how subtitles must be written. I will try to get the file back to the original resolution later also. That should reduce the size of the file. The file is in the same format as it was (.wmv). The movie with subtitles is ready for download here: http://sv-meteorites.jodoshared.com/movie/SikhoteAlin_Short.WMV Enjoy!
