Been coding this thing for the last week or so, and thought it was about time to release a version everyone can try out, you can get it from here: UniversalSubtitleFarm.2003-10-29 (http://leo.customer.netspace.net.au/usf/UniversalSubtitleFarm.2003-10-29.rar)

It's all pretty straight forward, imports SubRip & Sub Station files, formatting options here and there, and of course it saves USF files :)

Not Complete:
Match Case & Whole Word Only in Replace don’t work yet.
Adjust Timing, Doesn't work all that well :( milliseconds don’t work at all!

To Do:
Improve SSA input (Lots to improve)
Import Excel Spreadsheets
Import USF
Other interface enhancements & "stuff"

(Coded in VB5 so you might need a few other ocx's like Dhtmled.ocx etc, I've only tested it in Win98 so far and everything seems to work fine. If all goes well, once I optimise and clean it up a bit I'll release the source code)

Enjoy!

Jesus and Maria !

This makes 5 USF editors alltogether !

U96 (http://corecodec.org/projects/u96) from unmei

USE (http://corecodec.org/projects/use) from kovacs endre

Universal Subtitle Farm

Ciler's editor

Toff's editor

Now if we only could mux them into MKV properly, and play them from there :( ....

Wow, I did not know of any others besides U96 & USE, 5 editors already, I think it shows that USF will be the subtitle format of choice in the future, that and of course Matroska :)

i just realised (read above :) US-Farm can be used on win98: that's quite great because U96 will never be usable on a non-NT windows and i thought the same applies for USE (but im not sure about USE, should ask Kovacs Endre sometimes ;)

I would like to give it a "industry spy" try (now that i finally have my intenet back), but it starts lacking stuff already with "Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' not correctly registered: file is missing or invalid"
-this scares me a bit.
Probably people like me, who avoid installing stuff depending on ocx et all would have to install 5 or 15 or whatever different libs before the program runs :( Sad, i would really have liked to have a look, but messing up my system for it is a bit a high price :((

...so if you need to include such stuff my advice would be: 1) include or mention all libs/ocx etc needed (im too lazy to get a miss msg, find file, get next miss msg [loop for 15 times] before i can finally run the app)
2)let the user choose wether to put it in the exe folder or in system folder...cos i absolutely hate putting application stuff in windows directories and i imagine there are other people feeling the same.

Just tested Win2000, only file needed was "MSCOMCTL.OCX" other files needed "DHTMLED.OCX" & "TABCTL32.OCX" must have been already installed by another program, I guess I could include them in the final install package assuming most people have not got VB runtimes installed, I always assumed post Win98 OS's had them installed automatically :confused: (bar "DHTMLED.OCX")
