Which day of every week do you guys upload the subbed videos ? Cos you don't seem to post the links on tumblr for us anymore. Thank you !
Usually either on Saturday (if things go well and there aren't many problems such as captions) or Sunday. If there's a lot of lines we have to do, it may even go to Monday.
We post only the Dailymotion links on Tumblr in order to protect our YouTube account.
[REMINDER] Do not mention the show's name for YouTube links
Regardless of whether it's on Tumblr, Twitter, YouTube, etc. please do not mention the show's name if you're sharing the YouTube links. They are not disclosed for a reason, and that reason is because the moment you associate the show's name with the YouTube links, you-know-who can easily track it down and delete our videos.
And if you noticed on Twitter, there's also a reason why we either DM the links or post it on Twitter without the name. For our masterlist, we also only use the Dailymotion links, so that the 'powers that be' cannot track down the videos we have put on YouTube.
If you're sharing the Dailymotion links, we don't mind if you mention the show's name, whether it's in the comments or on social networks. That's completely fine with us.
But once you put the show's name with the YouTube links, that just basically blows back all of our hard work and the efforts we made to protect the videos from being blocked, especially since a good majority of people prefer to view it on YouTube rather than Dailymotion.
So please do not mention the show's name on Tumblr, Twitter, YouTube, etc. if you're sharing the YouTube links. Thank you
Hi WINNERSUBS and Jeni. First, I want to say thank you. Don't take this negatively but... I was really impressed by the way Episode 1 of WINNER TV was delivered by you guys. The timing and typesetting were flawless. It was also released quite fast. I am not rushing you. But, Episode 2 has a lot of problems such as the timing and it looks like you've doubled the work by trying to cover the korean captions. It's also hard to read. Please revert back to the way you styled Episode 1. From a -fan
The reason why we changed our formatting & styling in Episode 2 was because from the survey that we took, a lot of people actually wanted us to change the way we styled our subs in Episode 1.
For some reason, Episode 2 actually gave us a lot of problems as well during the subbing process. Our timers/typesetters and QC'ers were using RAWs from different sources which complicated some things as the timing during the actual timing process became awry for the timing during the QC process, which meant that we had to go back and fix the entire episode.
And please be more specific by "hard to read". Is the font hard to read, the colors, the size, etc.? If it's the colors, we suggest you change your computer's screen settings, as every computer shows colors differently. For everything else, we are trying our best to style as close to the original video as possible, for the best viewing experience.
All of these problems of timing, audio/video sync have been resolved when we re-uploaded Episode 2.
Hello :) for the second episode, the audio and the video doesn't seem to be in-synch. Can you pls fix that ? Thanks ! And thank you for subbing winner tv ! :)
Yep, we got alerted to that by a lot of our viewers, so thank you for pointing that out! We have fixed the audio/video sync issues, and re-uploaded the episode and it is now in sync :)
We just received a message that someone has uploaded our files to Mediafire.
Please please please please please do not re-upload our files, especially to Mediafire. While we kindly ask all fans to not re-upload or redistribute our files, some people still do, which we are upset. We don't ask for much, only that you follow with our wishes. The least you could do is give us support by downloading from our links instead of re-uploading. No, we're not trying to monopolize anything. There is a legitimate reason as to why we don't give permission for others to re-upload our files.
Mediafire works with Remove Your Media. That's correct. Mediafire works with Remove Your Media to remove any sort of copyrighted content. Unfortunately, this also includes fansubbed content. If the re-uploaded Mediafire files are taken down, Remove Your Media will be able to track our official download links down and remove them as well, even possibly terminating our entire account altogether.
Once again, please do NOT re-upload or redistribute our files (especially to Mediafire). If people continue to do so, we will no longer offer any sort of HD downloads or SRT files as well. Please follow our wishes, as we really don't ask much from you.
Hey guys, first of all just a huuuuge thanks for subbing ♥ i was just wondering though, are we allowed to make gifs from your hardsubbed videos? Idk if this is a silly question, but i just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
Yes you may :) It would be much appreciated if you could give credit ^^
Hello :) firstly thank you for subbing winner tv. I really appreciate it. I appreciate every subber since I can finally understand what my idols are saying because of them. I would like to ask if the download ( with subs ) for the winner is available already or not ? If it's not it's okay. Please take your time. If it is available already, can you pls give me the link ? Thanks !
Hardsubs may be found here
(Just right click on the folder titled '{WINNERSUBS} & {ONEWOMANSUBS} WINNER TV Ep. 1' and select 'Download as ZIP' to download all the files at once)
Use HJSplit to join the files together and wah-la, there's your hard subbed video downloaded :)
Why are the videos on YouTube gone ? Are they blocked alr ? :(
The videos on YouTube have been set to unlisted, because we recently received a tip/caution from another fellow subber that due to our previous copyright infringement warnings from Remove Your Media, they're now monitoring our sites (ie. Twitter, Facebook, etc.), so instead of our original plan of leaving it on public for 1 week then setting it to unlisted, we've decided to leave it on public for 2 days then set it to unlisted.
If you message us off-anon, we can send you the links to where you may find our subs on YouTube.
[U2Y Pt. 2] WINNER SUBS - Suggestions, Feedback, etc.
Here is part 2 of our U2Y (Us to You) corner!
"hmm , i suggest you can use some of the sign from runningman ."
At first most of us couldn't understand what this was asking, but then one of our staff pointed out that you most likely were referring to the iSubs squad that subs Running Man. Hopefully, she was right or else we really don't know what you were referring to haha. The reason iSubs is able to sub everything (from dialogue to repeating captions to even the background music) is because they have a lot more staff, not to mention that they release a video every 30 days. We do not have that many staff nor do we (or the rest of you) have the patience of waiting for a month for one episode to be subbed.
Conclusion: If you want subs that document everything, you must either a) give us more days to sub and/or b) give us more timers & typesetters (like, a whole bunch more) because it's very time consuming to sub everything. So at this moment, we are unable to do such detailed subs given our timeframe.
"the grammar/sentence structure of some of the trans a bit weird
eg→ "even when you only hear the beat a little." The flow of the sentence seems a bit awkward!"
This can often happen when we rush during the subbing process or just reflexively type out the literal translation. Sometimes we send off the final files forgetting to QC or just forgetting to send the file with the final corrections, which can result in stuff like grammar errors and such happening.
Conclusion: We will keep a closer eye out on editing/QC'ing to ensure the best final product as possible, though since we are only human, we can't guarantee 100% mistake-free subs.
"I do love your subbing work. But if you can, can you not close the caption?
I mean, I studying korean right now,and some of your subbing word close the hangul so I can't read it.
but if you didn't do it it's ok,just suggestion.."
We're thinking you meant that you wanted to see both the Korean captions and our subbed captions. However, if we were to do that, it would be hard to place the captions without covering a good portion of the video (for example: Minho's diary).
Conclusion: There are times when it is inevitable where we must cover up the original to maintain the quality and it's just not plausible.
"if possible, i wish after completing subbing all the parts, you guys can actually merge the whole parts to become 1 complete file.
and then, if possible to upload that one complete file on youtube stream or cloud drive(for download link) or torrent link.
And for the .srt files. can you guys also upload the compatible raw version to be merge with the .srt files?"
If we were to upload the hardsub files as one file, you're talking around 1 GB+ of a file. That's extremely large and lots of problems can happen (ie. Internet problem, etc.) All of our hardsubbed files that are available for download can be downloaded all at once in a folder or ZIP package. All you need to do is use HJSplit and join the files together.
Conclusion: Please wait for us to give out the links to download hardsubbed files, so that you may download the whole folder at once. We will be posting up links to the RAWs we used this time so that people will not get confused on which they should use with our SRT files.
"Pretty font colours please :( why black... Eg. Ssf uses pink subs, cxo using yellow with black outline subs.. Can winnersubs uses something like that too?"
We typically style our subs to match with the original video so that it's not distracting and looks more natural. For example, during the WIN days, we styled our subs to match with the original videos.
Conclusion: In the future, for videos that are not part of a show (ie. award ceremonies, general interview, etc.) we will style them in a different color.
"please can u more bright the font"
"Larger size and normal colored fonts"
The brightness is actually different for everyone, depending on your computer monitor display. We have also been experimenting with font sizes to see which is better and will fit in the screen.
Conclusion: We suggest you change your computer monitor's settings if you have issues with color. For font sizes, please bear with us a little longer as we find an equilibrium between what's too small and what's too much.
And that wraps up our U2Y corner for tonight! Thank you everyone for your insightful feedback, and please rest assured that we have taken your suggestions into consideration.
If your comment was not posted, it was because:
We couldn’t understand your suggestion/comment/feedback/etc.
Your suggestion/comment/feedback/etc. was similar to the ones that we have posted
There wasn't anything we needed to comment about it.
[U2Y Pt. 1] WINNER SUBS - Suggestions, Feedback, etc.
Firstly, thank you to everyone who participated in our survey! Your feedback and insights were much appreciated and helped us know what we needed to improve on. If you haven't filled out the survey yet, please do so here!
In this first part of U2Y (Us to You), we will be replying to the suggestions, feedback, etc. that we have received already. We will be posting up more parts later once we have amassed more feedback.
"Use adf.ly to pay for your subbing team"
Many people have commented that using adf.ly would be a great way to help out our subbing team and I definitely agree. However, I also find them extremely annoying and very easy to bypass once you have the actual video link.
Conclusion: I have decided that we will be keeping links to the videos adf.ly-free for now, but we will be using adf.ly for those who would like to download hardsubs and such. I think that this is a pretty decent favor we ask, since we don't require any minimum posts or donor status to access our downloads section, unlike other forums.
"I like the font but I also like other types of font that subbing teams use that look more pleasing to the eye. Maybe it's just me but I'm not a fan of just the normal arial font"
We have our own standard font (which isn't Arial), but since WINNER TV is a completely new show and we had no idea what to expect, we were playing around with the styles and such for this first episode.
Conclusion: We will be going back to our standard font in the future episodes.
"Name of the members or their initials are included at the beginning of the translation so it's easier for us to know who's talking OR color code the subs"
A good amount of people have requested for this, but this is actually extremely difficult and time-consuming to do. You may ask, "What's so difficult about picking a color?", and my answer will be that it's not the color-changing that's difficult, but knowing who is speaking. At this stage, we're used to WINNER's voices already, but there are still times when we have no idea who is speaking what.
Conclusion: Because we can't just put ??? in the beginning, we have opted to not do color-coding for the members. The closest thing we would consider would be separating WINNER into just one color and other people (ie. artists, staff, etc.) into another one color.
"I think you should upload th videos in more other sites so that if example youtube blocked, another site can be used."
As of right now, we are currently using YouTube and Dailymotion. We used to have a backup Vimeo channel, but that was until we found out that the free plan for Vimeo had a limited video size that you could upload, which just wasn't plausible for our videos.
Conclusion: For now, we will be using only YouTube and Dailymotion, but if you have suggestions on other good (free) video uploading sites that may be used, feel free to tell us!
"if you could put the video as one or decrease the number of cut."
This is honestly out of our control. On YouTube, for example, after receiving notices of copyright infringement or Content ID claims, you are no longer able to upload videos beyond 15 min. Since WINNER TV is more or less around 45 minutes or so, we cannot do anything less than 3~4 parts. Uploading in 1 part is a longer process because usually when we upload parts 1 and 2, we're still doing last-minute QC checks on the remaining parts.
Conclusion: At this time, uploading as 1 long video or less than 3~4 parts is not possible.
"Maybe you could be more detailed? Because sometimes they show the fans and their banners but I can't read Hangul and understand what's written on their banners..."
Most of the time, what's written on the banners are just the members' names, so we didn't feel a need to translate them. The banners that we do translate are the ones that are more than just the member's names.
Conclusion: We will probably add in a translator's note in the future, probably saying something along the lines "T/N: The banners are just names of the WINNER members."
"Timing for the video. There were certain subs which were not in sync to the video. There were some korean word-play that i didnt underatand so it will be good if there were a note to it."
You might be used to our past way of timing for WIN, where we timed our subs to the original video's subs as well. However, for WINNER TV this time, we decided to time instead to the actual dialogue instead of the video. In addition, sometimes the actual video doesn't even have subtitles for what people are saying.
Conclusion: Depending on the majority, we may or may not return back to timing with the original video instead of the actual dialogue. We will also make sure to have more translator notes explaining the meaning for future episodes.
That concludes U2Y Part 1! If you didn't see your comment in this list, it will either be:

Hey just want to say thank you to you & Jeni for subbing winner tv and Win from the start to end. We love you <333. Can you's please make your vids private and put links here so we can find the videos before you upload it to youtube because the videos are getting blocked and your old vids are all private and blocked now which is a shame. Can you reupload them if you have time and keep them private/unlisted like onewomansubs?
All of our videos can also be found on our Dailymotion channel as well (unless they've been blocked due to copyright) at dailymotion.com/user/winnersubs
For those of you that don't know, we are uploading WINNER TV English subs onto both YouTube and Dailymotion, so if one platform isn't available to you, the other one is there for you to watch.
Secondly, Jeni (onewomansubs) and we have come to a decision where we would put the English subbed videos as public for only 1 week, then change it to unlisted (YouTube) and private (Dailymotion) afterwards, to prevent the deletion of videos. This is because more and more people are interested in WINNER, and they may not know about either of our subs, so this is to help the newly-born WINNER fans to find the videos easier.
Similar to how we conducted WIN: WHO IS NEXT, we will also have hardsubbed files and .SRT files available for download. Please do not abuse this privilege, or else we will stop this service. For the fanbases that would like to translate WINNER TV into your own language, please contact [email protected]
We have also contacted Mnet and asked them if it would be alright to upload English subs of WINNER TV and we are still waiting on a response.
