Aegisub
Encyclopedia : A : AE : AEG : Aegisub
Aegisub is a computer program created to help in many aspects of typesetting by correcting flawed features found in the Medusa Subtitling Station and adding many features that it lacks. The first public release was announced on November 4 2005 as v1.00 beta. However, the program has yet to progress beyond the beta stage.
As of version 1.07, Aegisub is under the 3-clause BSD license.
