I have a DVD of the movie Ran which I want to back up to Divx. The movie is non-anamorphic NTSC (4:3), with the movie itself shifted up, and the subtitles rendered in the black area below the movie. However, it appears that the subtitles are encoded directly into the movie, rather than in their own subtitle stream. I've done subtitles both soft-coded and hard-coded before, but only when the DVD had the subtitles in a separate stream.
I want to OCR the subtitles so I can store them in text-format in my Divx .ogm. Is this possible, and if so, what program should I use? Doom9's guides only seem to deal with non-embedded subtitles, so that isn't much help. Or, if no program can OCR subtitles in this situation, do I have to hand-type the subtitles? In which case, is there a program that will make the display timing of the subtitles easy/quick to do?
I apologize if this has been addressed before, but I scanned through all the forum threads twice, and I didn't find an answer. Thanks for your help!
