Well, Mavericks has brought us many advantages but unfortunately there are some drawbacks too. SubtitleReSync (Pro and Basic) will not work properly or even start anymore on Mavericks. The cause is still unclear. It's hidden somewhere deep under the OSX-hood. First we thought that the Basic version still worked on Mavericks but sooner or later it will crash too :(.

SubtitleReSync is build with Ruby (MacRuby) and somehow now Mavericks fools around with that. Another disappointment is that the Open Source project MacRuby was heavily supported and even funded by Apple but last year Apple stopped that. That means that the "problem solving" MacRuby community is almost non-existing today.

We might find a solution shortly but meanwhile we had to take some measures to keep our clients at least slightly happy. So from today we've made SubtitleReSync Pro & Basic a free app for the time being. So if you are just looking for a good tool to edit and resync your subs, go to the Mac AppStore and get SubtitleReSync, Pro or Basic. For free.

But beware, they only work on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.

Enjoy :)

UPDATE December 1st: Fortunately there seem to be some light at the end of the tunnel. We now have a version running on Mavericks and the good news is that AVI movies still play in the movie window :D. Maybe you've noticed that Quicktime does not play them anymore because Apple has abandoned their own "old" Quicktime technology. We expect to release the Mavericks compliant app to the store review team in a week or two. Hopefully they'll accept it quickly.
