Announcing Beta 0.80 (now Version 1.5) of DVDSubEdit

Sorry for the cross-post, but I thought some of you might be interested:

Beta 0.80 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...
Now Version 1.5... See end of this thread...




The main change is the added support for re-timing subtitles. This is still experimental, so be careful and make sure you have a backup of your VOB and IFO files.
The new re-timing function allows you to change the timing of an individual or a group of subtitles.
Re-timing subtitles becomes slower as you move them by a large amound (in seconds). Note that the IFO file is also modified (because packs have to be moved around).


Here's the change log from beta 0.76
  • Added retiming of subpics..
  • Added button to quickly hide a subpic.
  • Improved the refresh speed of the command display.
I'm keeping the main thread here since DVDSubEdit is a tool to modify a VOB file...

CoNS! you relentless bastard!
Yes, it's in the back of my head (the hearing impaired thingy). It's more fun that retiming in a way.
Careful with your retiming tests. Everything is modified on the spot and there's no turning back!!!! Try it on a specific subtitle track for example, to make things easier...

Beta 0.81 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...

This is mainly a bug fix in the re-timing routine. If you plan on changing the timing of your subpics, use 0.81 instead of 0.80.

Thanks ukendt,
If you're interested, you can go to the other doom9 thread (!), and get the latests unofficial beta which includes Optical Character Recognition (I put GOCR in, and it seems to work just fine!)

Unofficial beta 0.83 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...
I've added a menu for the OCR stuff. After opening the vob file(s), run the OCR on the selected subpics. Then you can use the "find" feature in the same menu.
This is experimental, play with it and let me know.
I plan on reworking the UI to make room for more stuff, color changing, selecting SPUs based on OCR content etc...

Beta 0.85 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...


The UI has been revamped, and the OCR stuff is now fully integrated, allowing you to select, or search subtitles based on content.
I've also added code to change subpic colors.

Here's the change log from beta 0.81
  • The UI has been reworked to make room for more features.
  • Added option to change subpic colors. When applied to all, the color change is only applied to the subpics that share the same CLUT.
  • Added Optical Character Recognition, using the amazing GOCR code by Joerg Schulenburg.
  • Added option to select subpics based on OCR content.
  • Added search field to seach for specific strings in the subpic's OCR output.
  • Added "Save OCR results as text file".
  • Ctrl-C now works in the command display area and the OCR display area.
  • Added "Save subpic as PPM file".
  • DVDSubEdit no longer refuses the open read-only files (but it refuses to save modifs!).

Enjoy!
Jeanl

Those of you interested can find a new beta (0.87) of DVDSubEdit here

- You can set several colors on the same subpic, then apply to all will set them all in one shot (you no longer have to do it after each color).
- In Apply to All, you can set the durations of subpics to be the exact value, at most the value or at least the value. This allows you to set a minimum or maximum subpic duration.
- DVDSubEdit is now smarter in finding which line is the true bottom line. This will prevent subtitles from jumping up and down depending on whether characters such as "p" "q" or "g" are present when borders are used.

Hi everyone!

Jeanl a couple months ago you were saying:

Besides, moving the subpics is one thing, but I'm sure people would also love to change the transparency (can't do that in the IFOs) or other aspects (remove a force display for example)...
jeanl
Not very far now!

In a few words: EXCELENT

i agree

Just a TINY feature request: to be able to mux/add in external subs to a dvd. there are some guides on how to do this with different tools but wouldnt it be great to have it all under one nice GUI?

thanks for taking in consideration my suggestion for your tool name(partially)

Beta 0.90 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...


The major changes are: Support to read and write .sup files, new slider to move subpics left or right (if possible), and improved OCR for italics.


Here's the change log from beta 0.85
  • Added code to move subpics left and right when possible! This can only be done, for now, if the background does not cover the entire picture.
  • Added option to quickly reload the last set of vob files (without re-scanning) (see the "File" menu). You can't re-time in that mode.
  • Added code to load sup files. Note: you can't reload an individual subpic in that mode, or perform any re-timing.
  • Added "Save as sup file". NOTE: DVDSubEdit does not fix PTS discontinuities...
  • Added shortcut (Ctrl-T) to run OCR on the current subpic.
  • Added code to fix OCR problems with italics, and to better recognize brackets.
  • Entering a value in "duration" had no effect. This has been fixed.
  • DVDSubEdit no longer complains about the full title not having been loaded if you drag/drop a complete set of VOBs and try to re-time.
  • Fixed a bug in Beta 0.86-0.87 that caused "Apply to All" to not work well unless the vertical move slider was used.
  • DVDSubEdit no longer crashes when it encounters a badly formed spu (missing packs for example).

Enjoy!
Jeanl

People,
There's a new unofficial beta for DVDSubEdit, for those of you who would like to test before I make an official release. It's beta 0.909 and can be found
here...

There's a good number of new features, improvements and bug fixes. Thanks CoNS for all the testing! Please, give it a try and let me know of any problem.

Here's the change log from beta 0.90
  • Added code to crop subpic to the bare minimum width, allowing horizontal moving. This can be applied to all in the usual manner.
  • Added option to move subpics flush with the nearest border.
  • The main window is now resizable. I cleaned up a lot of the display code, in an attempt to make things faster and cleaner.
  • The main window can also be minimized, or maximized, imagine that!
  • DVDSubEdit no longer needs the CLUT to identify the pixels used for the characters. Let me know if that fails.
  • Added a check box to show the main text pixels in white, and all others in black.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the app to crash if you fast reloaded a vob that was no longer there.
  • Fixed the infamous "display freezes, app starts writing all over" bug! A brush wasn't being released....
  • DVDSubEdit no longer crashes if you quite while running the OCR function.
  • The "save subpic to ppm" option was shrinking the subpicture by a factor 2. This has been fixed.
  • Removed the trailing '\n' at the end of the last line in the OCR output display.

Jean
