So I tried it at home.

As I thought there's no way for VLC to show Thai script.

Converting to idx+sub is not straightforward either. I need to find which program can do it easily on the main computer.

What works is playing the video with Windows Media player (or media player classic, doesn't matter) and fiddling with VobSub filter settings (you get that with Klight codec pack).

Finally I got the squiggles on the screen. Bad news - they are out of sync, god knows by how much, they might be from a different Prison Break at all.

Now I remember it, I saw this site before. Lots of OLD movies, I was looking for Harry Potter 5 subs when it was just released and they were still on Part 1 or something.

What is worse is that many of the subtitles listed there are not translated at all. So far they've got only five episodes from the first season of Prison Break completed. It's my firm believe that the natives here can't get anything right when it comes to computers and Internet.

Traveler is a good action series, fast moving and engaging. On one websirte it as rated as the best action series ever.

It's not too bad it got cancelled, though - the authors vision of what it was supposed to become is not very appealing. The story was supposed to go the way of Pirates of the Carribean - too difficult to follow and impossible to believe.

It was good while it lasted, though. Nine episodes, about six hours of pure entertainment.
