  --blackemphasis       make the HD-DVD emphasis pixels (index 2 and 3) black
  --enhancecontrast     make all pixels with Y < 127 black, and pixels with Y
                        >= 128 white (easier to OCR). Also forces background to
                        black.

Example usage:

C:\My Downloads\Subtitles\Mr. Bean's Holiday>C:\Projects\Blu-ray\hdsup2bdn\release\hdsup2bdn.exe --xml --enhancecontrast FEATURE_1_MERGED.Subpicture.14.sup
XML (BDN) output selected
Force all pixels to black except the main pattern
framerate defaults to 29.97
Input files are: FEATURE_1_MERGED.Subpicture.14.sup
hdsup2bdn version 1.04

--enhancecontrast forces all colors with Y < 127 to be black, and all other colors to be white. This is a cheap hack but hopefully works for most people!

looks good how would i get 1280x720 subpictures from a 1080p source?

i am getting a error using your program rectal-> No SP found in header. with the same file supread can read it fine.

[Rectal Prolapse]

jamos, hdsup2bdn only works on hd-dvd .sup files. It won't work on blu-ray .sups (yet - no ETA for that). The intent of hdsup2bdn is to create subtitles from HD-DVDs for authoring on Blu-ray disc.

I haven't tested on 1280x720p .sup files - it probably won't work!

[Pelican9]

Changes for v0.51

- New option: OCR export black and white only
- export 8 bit PNG (Scenarist compatible)

Change for v0.50

- New option: export png at 720p

You have to download the abc.png, because it's changed from PNG24 to PNG8 too.

I'm too tired to testing it accurately so any feedback is helpful.

Been using SUPread successfully on a few HD DVDs (thanks Pelican9) but have run into a problem. Has anyone here tried SUPread on Pan's Labyrinth (English track)? Between ST572 and 573 the time position goes from 1:09 to 00:01 as though a glitch exists in the joined evo (tried both evodemux and eac3to to join and both fail). Guess I can repair the timings but was hoping for an easier way out.

Also, SUPread doesn't OCR the odd bitmaps Pan's seems to use as well as on other discs. Is the Skew option explained somewhere so that I can try to tinker w/the setting and maybe OCR a bit better?

tested the latest version on the hd dvd from red dragon

the png are 1280x720

but the xml tell that they are 1920x1080 so scenarist give a error at the muxing point

a small part of the xml looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <BDN Version="0.93" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BD-03-006-0093b BDN File Format.xsd">

uhmmm scenarist is doing ok now but
if i play the movie the screen goes black with the subtitle in it
as soon the sub title goes the picture comes back

the png from subtitle workshop have a white background
mayby that has to do with it

It means that the subpicture image is not transparent.
Could anybody tell me what Scenarist needs exactly?
Transparent or white background?
Or transparent and white?

Is the OCR unchecked anyway?

[marco_ooo]

i have attached a working png maybey you know what to do with it

[FalconIA]

I dump a sup from a bd by tsMemux 0.0.2.0 and try to save images by SUPread 0.51b3.
But the SUPread crashed at the 61th image.
Is anyone know the reason of that?
Thanks a lot.

SUP HERE

I get the same thing no transparent color just a white background. Do I need the palette check box clicked? OCR is unchecked because this is coming from a sup file.

the file you posted before above pelican works correctly with transparency although its font color was transparent when it should be white, though as you said its ugly, but you could use it to see how it is different than your current output.

Also the .png I sent you in that email works correctly.

[DELPHIINES]

I have tried to create a .png file for greek,with no luck.So i have managed to find another way to bypass the whole .png file issue.I am using subtitle creator to create a sup file from srt and then i use supread to create a hd sup.The hdsup is usually 5 times larger than sdsup.aproximately 5 mg.Is this as large as a hd sup file should be?I can test it i am still waiting for to tsremux or tsmuxer to add support for the stream of supread.Anyway thanks pelican for this great tool

[jamos]

Pelican do you need me to test anything for you? current version is still not working with scenarist.

thanks

It only requires transparent background. The output from hdsup2bdn didn't help you? hdsup2bdn outputs the PNG format scenarist wants.

hdsup2bdn also preserves the index table (including the color + alpha channel) that the original HD-DVD subtitle has - so maybe Scenarist requires index 0 to be fully transparent?

SUPread makes the same, preserves the original palette and transparency info, simply put to a png file. I'll check it again.

DELPHIINES:
Your subtitle stream has a subtitle with two windows (and some error). I've never seen this structure before that's why SUPread cannot handle it correctly.
I'm working on the solution.

jamos:
Thanks, but I've no idea what's wrong, because SUPread produce the same type of PNG which has worked before...

[Pelican9]

New beta.
PNG transparency fixed(?), please try with Scenarist.

DELPHIINES:
Does the 61st subtitle contain two text simultaneously?
Window positions:
id: 0 [1560,58] - [1625,309] it's a vertical at top right
id: 1 [623,915] - [1295,1018] it's a horizontal at the bottom
You can check during playback of the movie (at 00:17:00).

I'm looking for subtitle stream with multiple text at the same time.
I would like to know if DELPHIINES's subtitle is correct or not.
