I say, SubRip's nearing perfection, good job One suggestion though, would it be possible to include a feature to be able to rip the colour codes of the subtitles too? If there's any interest for that kinda option, naturally, don't think this is much of an issue to most of the users. I just recently ripped the first subs (the colours identifying different people, which looks pretty confusing without the proper colours since the subs intertwined) in which this would've been a handy option.

@klinika: Thanks for the feedback.
If you mean ripping sub colors from subtitles "burned-into" videos, I suppose it's possible, but color tags are not supported for all text output formats. I'll think about having "color schemes" or something, but it's unlikely that I'll have time to implement anything major anytime soon. If you mean ripping colors from DVDs... well, I think Zuggy knows more about this than I can possibly learn, so I'll let him answer this one . |

Oh, sorry for being a bit unclear with the previous post. I meant "reading" the colours off the sub pictures themselves. I guess that's the only way to know which colours are used and where... Sorry I'm not very good at terminology here
Here's a snippet of the subtitles I was talking about. These are coloured identically as on the dvd. Got them off the net after trying to edit the duration times for nearly an hour, to compensate for the lack of colouring. Quote:
Edit: I do have a good amount of laserdisc transfers with hardcoded AND coloured subs, but it's really not a priority issue to say the least. Unless they get re-released in some point with coloured subs too, in which case... ack, I stop now, I'm too weird. Last edited by klinika; 7th June 2005 at 21:00. |

What the... bourtzovlakas, Oh damn, sorry for wasting everyone's time here. Thought I RTFM'd but I really must've missed that, terribly sorry. It's more perfect than I thought
Edit: Works perfectly! But when the colour changes during the same line of dialogue, it splits them to two different occasions of dialogue. But that is easy to correct manually. And to think I thought the snippet I pasted was done manually Last edited by klinika; 7th June 2005 at 21:59. |

A guide for ripping subtitles from videos is now available:
http://zuggy.wz.cz/redir.php?co=101 I hope it's useful and reasonably easy to understand (I tend to get lenghty in my guides ). Feedback is welcome, as are other user-made guides. Last edited by ai4spam; 10th June 2005 at 18:32. |

Thank you for you good work, first. I have a question; when working with avi, i don't get any picture. Only white screen. Format is xvid. With divx it works fine. Where is the problem? With codecs? Avisinth - virtualdub opens the file without any problem.
thanks |

@veverica:
That's weird. Does it happen even when you change the frame number? For example, a lot of movies start with a completely black frame, maybe yours starts with a completely white frame? Try pressing Play or changing the frame number. Alternatively, if all your XViD movies have the same problem, then it's most probably a codec problem. Try using the latest codec version. Also, check if the movie is opened in native or AviSynth mode: does a "temp.avs" file exist in your SubRip directory? Do its contents look like: Code:
OpenDMLSource("D:\DivX\SubRip\sample.avi", false) @everybody: Is there someone with experience in developing VirtualDub filters? I've changed the DeLogo filter to remove subtitles using the bitmaps that SubRip saves, but managed to break it in the process: now the filter only works in preview mode, when setting the filter properties, and not in full processing mode (the RunProc function is never called). Also, it seems I'm not passing parameters correctly. Can anyone help? |

SubRip 1.30 Beta 6 is now up.
Changes: - fixed a bug when saving subtitles as UniCode instead of ANSI for some languages - GUI improvement when processing videos: show last frame of the subtitle when doing OCR, instead of the current frame |

Hi...
First i would like to thank for all your hard work on Subrip... I have an idx/sub, that is giving me a hard time OCRing... Here is a link, in case you want to take a look... http://briefcase.pathfinder.gr/file/...s/26857/438873 Is there something i could do with these kind of subs... Thank in advance... |

@bourtzovlakas: You'll have to be more specific about what the problem is. I can open the file and do OCR just fine (maybe I don't know Greek to be able to tell something's wrong?). The only problem I see is that lines look close to each other, but all you have to do in this case is set the min interline height in the advanced OCR setup to a small value (it works with a 2 here).

The main problem, i have is that i have to type and re-type the same characters over and over again....
The same characters in this sub, seem to have tiny differences, which makes it impossible for the program to "remember" them, during the OCR process... I hope you understand what i mean... I was wondering if i reduced the "sensibility on character difference", would that improve anything in this case?? |

Yes and no. It will improve things in that you won't need to type as often, but you may need to cope with a larger number of bad guesses (so you'll need to run a spellchecker on the result). Also, one recommendation in this case is to NOT use italics when the video sub font is small, because the differences are not large enough and you'll end up with a ton of mistakes.
If the background is not white very often, you may increase the text color tolerance so that the letters are less irregular. This is already specified in the guide: Quote:

SubRip 1.30 Beta 7 is up.
Changes: - large overhaul of the video GUI (now tolerances are per channel) - changed the detection algorithm some (let me know if it works better) - added text fattening to help with irregular characters Also updated the guide to reflect the changes.

SubRip 1.30 Beta 8 is up.
Changes: - improved the detection algorithm: now the frame times should be correct in all but the most difficult cases (white background under the subtitles, when subtitles appear progressively), and it errs on the plus side (in these rare cases subtitles may appear a few frames earlier than in the movie, which is not that big an inconvenient for later removal) - fixed a bug in the disjoint characters routine (thanks to other1010 for reporting) - fixed DVD Maestro saving bug (thanks to Petr22 for reporting) Last edited by ai4spam; 15th June 2005 at 19:38. |
