Hello ai4spam!
In fact I had the error before going automatic! How come I had this error and not you? What must I do to prevent it? For the 1 second, I understand.. But in the case of a VHS (where image is almost always distorted) one must mostly count on guesses rather than to correct each and every characters. Because the prompt almost display for every character. For this project I told myself it would be faster to post correct than to correct inline (which is even longer than typing all the subs). A waiting of 0 second would have been very nice in this situation. The rip would have been very very fast instead of (number of characters x 1s) time. Thanks! |

I've been testing SubRip a bit (version 1.50b3). Overall it's doing a great job. Takes a bit of time to "train" it, but it does seem to save a lot of typing.
However, the main problem I'm having is that I just can't get the settings right. Either the "n" and "m" start to break (too thin), or the characters are surrounded by white spots. Using "outline" "fatten" and the tolerance sliders can't fix this. I've settled for having white spots and noise, however it does seem to ruin the OCR after some time because I keep adding spots to the matrix that Subrip has to ignore. I get the impression the reason for this is that SubRip is insensitive to differences in colour saturation and just looks at the brightness. Subs are often white with a black border, so without any colour. This opposed to the background where bright areas often have some colour in them. At the moment Subrip may see a bright green spot (as in the attachment) as a character. When I would be able to tell subrip to have a low tolerance towards areas with colour in them, I'm sure seperation of the fonts from the background could be further improved. Just a suggestion of course.. |

@Atomzk: Nice to see people using the hardsubed avi feature . You can set the tolerance per channel, so for example in order to avoid something that is bright green being detected, you have to lower the green tolerance.
@molitar: Good idea. No time to implement . You can accomplish the same thing by using a custom AviSynth file with all the filters you want. |

Problematic italic tag conversion
It happens when converting from srt to sub and vice versa.
Code:
<i>first italic line</i> <i>second italic line</i> Code:
{y:i}first italic line|{y:i}second italic line Code:
<i>two lines spanned in single italic tag</i> Code:
"two lines spanned|in single italic tag" Similar problem occurs when doing a sub -> srt conversion. The {Y:i} tag (capital Y) is taken only for the first line. I think some parse-time convertor which replicates spanning and unclosed tags for each following line would be the best solution... |

@Zerrik: I'll add it to my (already long) list.
@Suchy: Not possible at the moment. Someone with some Pascal knowledge could try to write something, by looking at the source code. Meanwhile, put them in the same directory, always open the one with more characters, and whenever there's an unknown one, use the search matrix button to make it check the other file as well. If a match is found, it'll be added to the currently open matrix. |

It worked for me (easynews server). SourceForge tends to take a while to mirror things. Too bad the release includes source and executable - not everyone wants both.
Great to see people picking up the slack and carrying this forward . It's been a while for me, due to things happening in my personal life (I got engaged). I'll try to squeeze in some time to work on this. Unfortunately, this means I'll have to merge the latest changes (v 1.50b3a) with my current version, which has A LOT of changes going towards a v 2.0. I'll keep everyone posted. Ummm... in case it wasn't obvious, the other news is we got subrip.sourceforge.net. Does anyone want to volunteer some nice website design? I think such a move deserves new "clothes" .

Try the usual way first: go to http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/s...3a.7z?download and select a mirror.
Only if that fails, try: http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/s...1.50_beta3a.7z Last edited by ai4spam; 5th June 2006 at 04:46. |
