I have the delete char problem too. But I have found that when the error dialog is open, you can tell Windows to log off and SubRip will then give you the option to save the Char Map without the pesky error dialogs blocking you. It's makes for slow and tedious work but it's better than having to force quit SubRip and lose all the unsaved entries in the character matrix.

Wow, that's some detective work .

The news is that I really don't have any time to further develop SubRip right now. I'll be uploading a stable version of my latest beta. I'll try to fix all the bugs signalled here before I do. It's been a good ride while it lasted, and I hope someone else will pick up the torch and carry it on.

No save dialog

I'm using 1.50b3a, and I get some weird things happening. I'm encoding Fullmetal Alchemist, and on episode 41 the save dialog does not show up. For all the previous episodes this worked, but not ep 41... I re-processed episode 40, which still worked perfectly, so there seems to be something odd going on with the input files.

I tried compatibility mode, but it doesn't help. It seems to be dependent on the input file. Has this problem been figured out yet?

Try renaming the input files, see if that does anything.

Nope. I tried putting it in a different directory, and then renaming the files themselves, but it still doesn't work.

I just got done encoding some more episodes, and it looks like all the eps on one DVD (41,42,43,44) fail to show the save dialog. The other DVDs are OK.

I'm using it on Windows XP x64, if that matters.

I and l are very similar (or equal) in many subtitles. The only workaround is to apply "post-OCR" correction after the sub-rip process.

Best workaround is to hardcode font name into subtitles (not all formats support this feature), Arial for example (in Arial I and l are the same)

Getting Access Violations when using ai4spam's character matrix:
Quote:
Access violation at address 0052135D in module 'Subrip.exe'. Read of address 034AB002.
Is it too large?

It may indeed get too bloated, try to download it again, and next time you save it, choose a different name so that you can revert to the previous one.
I'll probably have time for an update over winter break, during which all the bugs will hopefully be taken care of.

Hmm, I have a large avi file with hard-coded subtitles, I have tried both SubRip and AVISub Detector and both seem to run the length of the clip and pick up nothing no matter what settings I alter.

Is there some software out there that I can use to create the timing and just manually enter the text? Does Subtitle Workshop do this?

If the Hard-Coded subtitles are bit-mapped, then
'Subtitle Workshop' doesn't work with bit-mapped characters.

@roli_bark: See answer in that topic.
@Paucat: I assume you've used it before, for other movies? If not, follow the guide at http://zuggy.wz.cz/guides/video.htm
SubRip does not have automatic detection like AviSubDetector, you have to go to the first subtitle and set the subtitle and outline colors manually before it can go on. You can also try PodPis instead, and use the timings it gives you to translate, if you're doing a translation.

Yes, that's the Spanish inverted exclamation sign. If you never rip Spanish subtitles, go to the Edit Char Matrix window, sort it by character, and delete all the inverted exclamation signs.
Alternatively, just open the file in NotePad and do a replace all from ¡ to i (to find the ¡ character, type Alt+0161).

It happens to everyone, maybe just the subtitles you rip are weirder. You can try setting the OCR sensitivity all the way to 1000.
