If the whole subtitle file is out of sync (e.g. every line is late 2s), one shortcut is all it takes. In that 1/10 case, you do need to 'fiddle around for ages'

If the whole subtitle file is out of sync (e.g. every line is late 2s), one shortcut is all it takes. In that 1/10 case, you do need to 'fiddle around for ages', but given that all other options (e.g. SubtitleEdit[1]) are way more complicated and time consuming, mpv is all I could suggest. For the problem with audio and image being out-of-sync, I have no idea :) --- [1] https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit
