Livesubs are the output from a computer overlaying subtitles over raw R2 DVDs, generated live without re-encoding video files. The subtitle scripts are either written from scratch or transcribed subs from digisubs. Livesubs were introduced to the club by Dylan Hall in 2001 with Revolutionary Girl Utena - Adolescence of Utena, and the first series shown with livesubs was His and Her Circumstances, with scripts being ripped from the digisubs by Nur Monson, Ben Leinweber and Dylan Hall.
The ability to rip subtitles from digisubs was simplified by Nur Monson with his altered VirtualDub program, which he called VirtualSub. With VirtualSub allows you to locate the begining and end of a subtitle and type it in all in the same program. It outputs scripts in SSA format.
