All you have to do is:
  1. Open the video
  2. Load the subtitle
  3. Press Ctrl+6, to show the SubResync console in which you can see the sequence of the subtitles
  4. Pause on the beginning of any dialog
  5. Select the subtitle sequence according to video's dialog in the SubResync console
  6. Right-click on the Time field and select Current. This action will fix the time sequence of the subtitle
You can also save the newly synchronized subtitle via main menu: 
 
File -> Save Subtitle (Ctrl+S)

1. Selecting the entire photo (Select -> All)
2. Edit -> Stroke.

How to fix when Google Talk Freezes with Show current music track

When you activate "Show Current Music Track" in Gtalk while using Windows media player or Winamp 5.5 or higher versions, your Google Talk will freeze or stop responding

To overcome this problem there are two different methods, one for each type of player.
Note: Remember to close both Winamp or Media Player and Google Talk when doing this.

For Winamp 5.5 or Higher Versions :
  • Go to the root directory of Winamp (Usually in C:\Program Files\Winamp)
  • Select Tools -> Folder Options -> View (Tab) 
  • Uncheck the hide extensions for known file types and click Ok.
  • Create an empty file (Right click -> New -> Text document)
  • Name the file "winamp.m3u" and save.
For Windows Media Player :
If this problem occurs in Windows Media Player( WMP) it just needs an activation of the plugin.
  • Go to the Now Playing in your player.
  • Select Plugins -> Options
  • In the window select Plugins -> Background on the left side
  • Select Google Talk Music Plugin
  • Click OK and you are done.
