.cc sub files from DoItF4U

[dgwak]

I know it probably was covered somewhere else, but I can't seem to look it up here.

What are .cc files that DoItFast4U creates? I can see that they are raw subtitle files. If so, is there any way to convert those to sub.cc.raw files so they can be converted to .scc files?

Any help would be great! :)

Eyes`Only has very graciously written a guide on this very subject:

Have fun! :)

Aquabubble,

thanks for the link. However, it only deals with converting .srt to .sst files.


Step 2

Delete all but the regular CC .srt file, and the .raw file. Yes, delete the unicode.srt also. It isn’t needed. The .raw isn't used in this guide, but it will be used in my next guide which will show you how to convert the raw data to Line21 data and use it in Scenarist!


What I am interested in here is the part that converts raw data to line21 conversion. In other words, from .cc.raw files to .scc files. (I already know how to do .sub.cc.raw to .scc files, using vobsub2scc commmand). I am wondering if there is any way to achieve that.

BTW, I would just like to thank all moderators of this forum for doing such a great job of informing and educating us all. I would not be where I am now without your inputs and directions.
:) :) :)

@dgwak,
The new version of DIF4U (v1.0.9.5) will produces a .scc file for you automatically in the Subs folder.

[Eyes`Only]

Even 1.0.9.0 processes .scc automatically. Did you find your .scc? It'll be in your \subs folder.

I was going to write a small guide on converting .cc.raw to .scc, but now that DIF4U does it automatically I didn't see the need.

Eyes` Only,

I just tried 1.09.5 (thanks for the great tool!) but I keep getting videos that are like 7 minutes longer than the original which is 30 minutes. It happened to all videos that it created. It did not happen with the version I was using (1.07x)

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

[Eyes`Only]

are you running pulldown on material that shouldn't need it?

[dgwak]

yes, i have been doing that. that would be a good reason why i would end up with longer video.

How do I know when not to do that? Do i have to run bitrate on all .mpv files to see if they are 29.97?

[Eyes`Only]

If you are doing NTSC, your best bet is to check the 'autodetect forcefilm/decomb' option. This will always make your output from CCE 23.97 and then you'll always need pulldown.

[dgwak]

Ok, I am doing a NTSC and checked 'autodetect forcedfilm' option, but when it run DVD2AVI, it still shows that it is 29.97 fps in the beginning and then it changes to 23.976 fps. For your info, the demuxed m2v file shows 29.97 when I run Bitrate program on it.

Is this normal? So, what you are saying (if i understood right) is to run pulldown everytime when 'autodetect' is checked.

[Eyes`Only]

right. If your .m2v was diagnosed as hybrid or interlaced, decomb with telecide and decimate were added to your .avs. The line Decimate(cycle=5) in the .avs will cause the output .mpv to be 23.97. Yes, the original .m2v is always 29.97 for NTSC. But the output .mpv will be 23.97, because forcefilm is applied if the video is progressive, and decomb/telecide/decimate if it's interlaced/hybrid.
