Putting captions on German Videos.

[Wardo]

Hi, I'd like to translate roughly 49 mins worth of German videos and add English captions to them, the latter is the easy part, I never edited a movie before but I guess there is a myriad of freeware and payware software to get the job done one way or another, the hard part is translating as I don't speak German, I got a grasp of Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (latin languages are so easy) and some basic French of course and I try hard to improve my English but I know nothing about German and I don't know anyone who could do this for me either.

So, do you have any suggestions? I see I can:

a) Learn German, do it myself, this would take alot of time and effort though I wouldn't mind speaking German as the more the better, still I don't have time for this right now.

b) Call a private German teacher and ask for the translation, would be cheaper, no problems with copyright, but there's a higher risk of translation errors.

c) Go professional, much more expensive but less risk of any terrible mistakes, is it worth it?

What would YOU do?
