New version of SubtitleCreator for .NETv2 released

[0xdeadbeef]

Well, this happens with about every large (few hundred lines) SUB/IDX exported by BDSup2Sub, but no sweat, here's one random example:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/o00g6d

As the title says, the SUP contains 893 captions. BSSup2Sub displays and exports exactly 893 captions to SUB/IDX. However SC shows 307 as highest index.

[manusse]

I had a quick look and it seems to be a bug in SC. I'll try to investigate and fix it asap.

Thanks for reporting it.

Hi hubblec4,

I'm very sorry for being quite. However I couldn't find much time for programming but I sure will. My priority as you know is the BD-SUP files import first. As I've written before I've written 60% of the code in last december. Since december I could only spend a few hours and it's not enough. The problem I have is that I currently get an exception with my code but I can decode the BD-SUP bitmaps.

I need to find one or two days and I think I will finish it. However those days I'm busy with many other things and I know it's a pity for all SC's users.

About your request:
Would an import that converts them on the fly to SD be OK or do you need something else?

Cheers
Manusse... still alive

thanks for your answer. i know about your work of BDsup-support in SC, but the tool by 0xdeadbeef (BDSup2Sub) works almost perfect.

A great advantage of this tool is the 1080p-output for sub/idx.

and so i need SC to edit the sub/idx files only. it will helpful to open the 1080p.sub/idx in your tool.

i had tested this file (http://rapidshare.com/files/211206591/sub.rar.html) in SC Version 2.2.2 and 2.3rc1.
please have a look.

[hubblec4]

my sample is a small one and some larger files dont work in both versions of SC

Hi,



First of all, sc is an great acomplishment :thanks:


I have read through all 26 pages and some page from another thread about the progress of sc.

I like to know if theres an fix/workarround to get ridd of those nasty dirty dots/pixels in and arround the letters of my srt2sup file ?

The problem has been mentioned before by anime!

I tried to stretch the subs on different settings like , font type, size font, bold etc.... but like anime mentioned before. When i get rid of one pixel sticking out, another pops up somewhere else .

It looks awfull through windvd 9 or even powerdvd 8 !!

Also, but less troublesome. The timings after txt2sup conversion are exactly 2+ seconds off everytime !! The .srt file is perfectly synched though, but most of the time i have to alter timings in sc to get the right timings when playing the muxed dvd!!


I hope we havent see the last of paddington ;)


kabster,

[pancserzso]

I have done over 100 DVDs, where I re-synchronized and re-authored english subbed dvds with national subs, and I can almost say SubtitleCreator is perfect, but I am really-really after one small function, to let the synchronizer not only adjust times point-by-point, but by using a linear fit, or linear regression, to calculate a final delta Time and delta Speed value, and apply just a simple linear re-timing. Whats behind this is that in 99% of the cases, the re-synching is not a different cut, or different edition, but just some PAL-NTSC-telecine, etc. conversion, and different timing before the first scene. I mean its 99%, but for the different cuts its almost impossible to re-synch without hard manual work.

I would like to contribute to this "linear fit" synch option, but I dont know how could I help. I have found some C++ samples for this algorithm, its about 25 lines of code, I think it wouldnt be harder in C# but I dont know C#. I have found some article about Linear Least Squares fitting and it seems a bit hard, but only because its about high level polynoms, here we just need to solve a "y = ax + b" type equation, which is much simpler than the methods they write about.

[Mtz]

In synchronize window use the first and last subtitle line for linking and sync.

enjoy,
Mtz

[pancserzso]

Yes, in the final turn we could calculate a two-point fit, but before we need to calculate the fit. The difference is that this method calculates all the data from the points and then apply a two point fit. Have a look at this image, for example:
https://www.student.gsu.edu/%7Etle27/MGS%204140/Project%202%20Regression_files/image003.png

In the meantime, I have found that it's much easier than I thought, it's actually just one equation:
y = b1*x + b0
b1 = sum((x_i-x_avg)*(y_i-y_avg)) / sum((x_i-x_avg)^2)
b0 = y_avg - b1*x_avg

I will try to look into how to implement it to the synch screen.

[manusse]

Hi pancserzso,

You may have understood that currently I and Paddington don't have too much free time for programming. But if you propose to add this function to SC, then I can help you.
The full SC source code is available from SourceForge, you only need tortoise svn to get it. Then you need the free Visual C# Express 2008 to compile it.
If you' re ready to implement the function then just send me a PM and I'll support you.

I have this vobsub (http://www.mediafire.com/?0xhz91jey9d), which is not empty, but looks to be fully transparent. I can't see its contents with subresync, but subrip allows me to see that it's not empty and can't do OCR. Is there a way to change its colours/transparency with SC ? I didn't manage to do it...

[Stanley_A]

I have a question.
In version 2.2, to change color of a sup file I went to tools, manipulate sup, changed the color and clicked apply to all.

How can I do this in 2.3 Beta 1?

I just load the sup, and can change the color line by line but I can't find some kind of "apply to all" button.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

[manusse]

Hi,

Choose "Edit all" instead of "Edit this", on the right, just below the Line height controls.

Cheers

[Stanley_A]

Wow. Thanks for the quick reply. It worked thanks.

Another thing.

What are these little lines that appear under the subtitle of the modified sups?
They do not appear in the original SUP, only in the modified (by subtitlecreator) SUP.
Any idea?

Try other rendering methods (Formatting / Rendering method), drop shadow is always buggy, for me, the best result is using "plain and fast".

I have been looking into SyncForm.cs, I think I can do it. Just a quick question: Is there any built in function in C# for averaging numbers in an array?
And is it a problem, if I used SharpDevelop? It built well with no warnings.

[Mtz]

Stanley, open the final DVD in DVDSubEdit. Go to preferences and set to 1 the "Crop background border Y" and "Crop background border X" to 0.
Than press the "Crop subpic background" than Ctrl+A and save. Also I think is good to check "Flush" and move subtitles to 4:3 safe area followed by Ctrl+A and than save. This moving of subpictures is possible to prevent flickering subtitles. Is safe to move in that way the subtitles.
Make a test and report.

pancserzso, also Subtitle Workshop have this multisync feature. Try it. Ctrl+B > Advanced.

Hi pancserzso,

And is it a problem, if I used SharpDevelop? It built well with no warnings.

It's not a really a problem if you only change the C# code (not the GUI), because we will be able to add it to our source code and recompile it with VC# 2008 Express.
However for the GUI, it may be incompatible, I don't know. You can try and then we'll see how we can integrate it.
Just send me a PM and I'll send you my email so that you can send me the source code.

@LeMoi

I had a look at your sub file and I've found the problem. The problem is that all the subtitles in your file have multiple DCSQT corresponding to changes of contrast. This is to have a fading effect. However most of the subtitle tools here can display only one DCSQT per subpic. Only DVDSubEdit can partially display them. (I also have a private tool that can do it but it is still buggy, we have plans to integrate it into SC some day).
You can download a sup version of your file here (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=6f7ea879bc39bd160de4fc1039a01674e04e75f6e8ebb871). Then using DVDSubedit, you can have a look at your subpics. You must check the "Ignore transparency" to have a look at your subpics. But it's not really usable.

It is because SC Crop your subpic. If SC don't crop it, then it is no problem.

Thanks for these informations.
And is there a way to create an idx/sub file with the bmps and the timecodes ?

[0xdeadbeef]

@manusse:
Is there any documentation available regarding multiple DCSQTs in SUBs? I couldn't find anything.

Anyway, I had a look at the command buffer of LeMoi's sample and there is stuff I've never seen before in a SUB:

0F56
01
03 3210 Palette
04 0000 Alpha
06 0004 078D RLE offsets
05 037 298 184 1D6 Window size (x0,x1,y0,y1)
07 0010 0184 11D6 0037 3210 0000 0FFFFFFFFF 0003 0F6C
07 0010 0184 11D6 0037 3210 0100 0FFFFFFFFF 0007 0F82
07 0010 0184 11D6 0037 3210 1100 0FFFFFFFFF 000A 0F98
07 0010 0184 11D6 0037 3210 1210 0FFFFFFFFF 000E 0FAE
07 0010 0184 11D6 0037 3210 2310 0FFFFFFFFF 0015 0FC4
07 0010 0184 11D6 0037 3210 3420 0FFFFFFFFF 001C 0FDA

The lines starting with a 07 are kinda unexpected. It's most probably no coincidence that parts of the window and palette definition are repeated, although the coordinates seem weirdly mixed. The very last column (purple) obviously defines the address offset of the next piece (difference is always 22 bytes, which equals the length of one line). I'd assume that the pink column may define an alpha fade in.
The "0010" could be the number of bytes and the 2nd last column is probably the display duration (delay).
I'm kinda puzzled by the rest of the line (black characters), the data order and the absence of control codes though.
Any clues?

[kto]

ok, it was an old profiles.xml from version 2.2 in local settings which seems to have caused the problem. must be incompatible with the current version.
it works now that i took it away.

took me some time to figure this out, however.

[kto]

now, i've got one more question: where is this junk below the subtitles coming from and how do i get rid of it?
http://i41.tinypic.com/xlmpvr.jpg
it is visible after i remux the generated .sup files back into a dvd; it happens with different fonts/colors/position values.

[manusse]

Hi,

That's a bug.
Sorry for that

Manusse

[kto]

ok, it's a bug, but is it possible to circumvent it somehow?
they say in another thread that it could be eliminated by moving the subs up or down a bit, but i've tried changing the vertical position by 1/2/3/4 pixels, and the artefacts are still there.

cropping subpic background in dvdsubedit, as mentioned here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1279196#post1279196), does not seem to work either. is there any way to fix or circumvent this? it prevents me from using subtitlecreator altogether, unfortunately

[paulal]

not sure if this is the right forum/location...

I have a Multimedia Player Plextor MPE500U, and I use subtitlecreator v2.3rc1 to create the idx/sub subtitles as the text-oriented subtitles are not properly shown on screen.
Unfortunately, I have following problem with it: after awhile (usually after 15-20 minutes watching the movie), the player starts to skip subtitles (not showing them): sometimes 1-2 lines, sometimes it does not show subtitles for over 1 minute (and more).
I've tried all sorts of setting combinations with SubtitleCreator, but no luck sofar. Experimenting with VirtualDub, I 'accidently' found out that setting the Interleave to 2 frames (via Audio stream) improves this (usually) considerably. But it is still a pain to watch a movie...

If you came across this phenomena, and knows a solution, I'll glad to hear it :)

thx in advance for any reply/suggestion,
pol

[DoctorM]

I have a feature request: Find and Replace. Would be pretty useful.

[DoctorM]

Hmm. Upgraded to v2.3rc1 and found something weird.
Several of my titles (always single line ones), jitter (flicker?) up and down 1-2 lines while being displayed.
This is only noticeable on a standalone player. I don't see it when viewing on MPC, PowerDVD or checking the titles in DVDSubEdit.
Anyone have any ideas what might cause that?

Edit: I can duplicate this on 2 different model DVD players.
I've also found that it is a result of the 'Anti-Flicker Filter'. I don't know what it's suppose to do, but it is doing the opposite of what it's called.
So, if you are noticing a vertical jitter on standalone players (particularly on single-lines of text), go to Formatting/Render Method and select 'Plain and Fast' instead.
Some times the old ways are better.

Edit 2: It's much less common, but a few of the 2-line titles jitter now.
What is causing this? I don't recall seeing it in older versions.

Edit (Final): This jitter problem does not exist at all in v2.2, so it is new to rc1.
Also, for some reason v2.3 required that I retimed 29.97fps subtitles to 30fps in order for it to sync... even though it was already synced and works fine with older versions of SC.

[paulal]

hi,

does anyone know how to create a profile for 720p TV screen ? Since this weekend, I'm using the Emtec N200 mediaplayer, which can not handle the SC idx/sub files; or so it seems.

I've a working idx/sub (created by BDSup2Sub apparently) that works just fine, but colors/positioning are not to my liking. I loaded this subtitle in SC and rewrote it using my own profile, but no subtitles are shown (and the player seems to have a problem with it, as it seem to drag down on the remote response).

any help/suggestions. I've gone through this discussion forum without finding any answers...

thx in advance,
pol :confused:

[manono]

You could try VobSub Configure to change the colors/positioning if SubtitleCreator isn't working for you.

[0xdeadbeef]

I've a working idx/sub (created by BDSup2Sub apparently) that works just fine, but colors/positioning are not to my liking.
I will probably regret to have asked, but why don't you change position and colors in BDSup2Sub? If you load the created SUB/IDX, you can edit the global DVD palette as well as each frame palette.
Positions are fully editable, too.

[paulal]

@ 0xdeadbeef

I didn't know you could do this for all frames in one sweep, AND that you can run things from the commandline too ! Manually, it is a bit of a hassle, but I made a batchfile to do the trick. Things are working just fine now.

2 questions regarding BDSup2Sub:
1. I've been playing with the colors a bit, but I can't seem to make it work. What I like, is change the white of the letters to a gray-er version. I have a Plasma tv, and bright white burns in very quickly.
2. If I select 720p (instead of Pal), the N200 mediaplayer shows the subtitles for about 5-10 secs, then the tv turns green-ish and (while you still hear the movie playing) evt returns to the main menu (thus stop playing). This could be a N200 issue though. Too bad, because 720p seems to give me sharper titles...

For the record: I select to move the captions "outside bounds" (close to the bottom). Since many movies play with black top/bottom bars, I prefer it this way so my titles hardly show up in the movie area itself.

btw: if anyone is interested in the batchfile, just send me a mail. what it does: first it builds a list of your srt-files, then creates the appropriate SC idx/sub files and finally the BDSup2Sub idx/sub files (regardless of where the srt files are located on your disk)

[0xdeadbeef]

I answered here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1337808#post1337808) to not clutter this thread with an unrelated discussion.

[blue2]

I've two small questions on setting up defaults with the latest version of SubtitleCreator v2.3rc1 under XP

First, I'm unable to have the program open with a default profile specified. It always opens in "No Profile Active". I believe that previous versions permitted this. I've tried re-installing and also reviewing the Profile.xml file but I don't see what is causing the issue. The previous version had these lines in the Profile.xml file (which the new version does NOT):

<!--The index below gives the Active Profile (profile list follows)-->
<ActiveProfile>1</ActiveProfile>

However, even attempting to add these lines to the new Profile.xml file still does not load a deault profile.

Second, how do I set default colors in the Settings.xml file so that it will automatically load these default colors each time so that I won't have to constantly use the pull down menus. It isn't clear to me how the Settings.xml needs to have these deault colors indicated.

What I see in the Settings.Xml file is this:

<!--Maybe you prefer to have yellow subtitles instead of my default white ones, so here is your chance
to define your own preferences.-->
<PreferedSubtitleColors>
<PreferedBackgroundColor Red="190" Green="190" Blue="190" />
<PreferedForegroundColor Red="255" Green="255" Blue="255" />
<PreferedOutlineColor Red="0" Green="0" Blue="0" />
<PreferedAntialiasColor Red="128" Green="128" Blue="128" />
</PreferedSubtitleColors>
</Settings>

So how do I have to change this to make these my preferred colors: Background-White Transparent / Text-Yellow 100% / Outline-Black 100% / AntiAlias-Dark Gray Transparent ?

Anyone know how to accomplish these rather banal requests?

[blue2]

No one has used this feature of pre-setting the colors?

Since no one replied, I moved back to v2.2 and it DOES correctly maintain the default profile again. So this appears to be a bug in RC1 or its profile file.

[blue2]

Judging by the lack of response, I guess that this is an abandoned program. So I'll move on to something else.

[manusse]

Hi,

As a matter of fact, it is not abandonned. However the 2 developpers involved (I am one of them) haven"t improved the program for at least one year due to lack of time and other priorities.
I'll try to have a look at the bug you've found and may ask for your help to test it.

Cheers
Manusse

[blue2]

Thanks for your reply manusse. I know that there's always conflicting priorities. I just figured that among the more experienced members of this forum someone would know if the default profile works in the latest build or not. A two minute verification on another machine would clarify if this is a bug, a problem with my profile.xml file or some conflict on my machine.

Regarding the question about setting default colors in the Settings.Xml file, there is text in that file that suggests it can be done, and yet I'm not experienced enough to know how to accomplish it. I tried modifying these lines:

<PreferedSubtitleColors>
<PreferedBackgroundColor Red="190" Green="190" Blue="190" />
<PreferedForegroundColor Red="255" Green="255" Blue="255" />
<PreferedOutlineColor Red="0" Green="0" Blue="0" />
<PreferedAntialiasColor Red="128" Green="128" Blue="128" />
</PreferedSubtitleColors>

Obviously I don't know what I'm doing and so the program would not open with the incorrect guesses that I put. Luckily I thought to save the profile file in another location so I could then just put the default one back.

So if I'd like these preferred colors: Background-White Transparent / Text-Yellow 100% / Outline-Black 100% / AntiAlias-Dark Gray Transparent what setting changes do I need to do to these above lines?

Many thanks again.

Any word? Thank you.

Hi,

I've tried to set the Profile to something else than default. Then I close SC. When I reopen it, the new selected profile is applied even though the menu doesn't show it.
So yes, there seems to be a bug. But it seems to me it's only in when you want to see what is the current profile.
I'll try to fix it and keep you informed.

Hello Manusse. Thanks for your reply. For me, it was a slightly different problem I think. I set up a default profile. But each time I opened the program, it would NOT open to the default, but indicate "No Proflie Active" So a few times I forgot to check the profile and ended up with very unexpected results. I reverted back to 2.2 and all is back to normal. So the RC is apparently not processing the profile file correctly.

My more important question was how to set up default colors in the settings.xml file. Since I add subs to all my own films in the EXACT same way each time, it would be nice to automate this selection process. The settings.xml file seems to suggest this is possible.

So how do I do that? (If I am just able to preset these settings, I'll be very satisfied.) What do I have to do to these setting to get these preferred colors: Background-White Transparent / Text-Yellow 100% / Outline-Black 100% / AntiAlias-Dark Gray Transparent:


<PreferedSubtitleColors>
<PreferedBackgroundColor Red="190" Green="190" Blue="190" />
<PreferedForegroundColor Red="255" Green="255" Blue="255" />
<PreferedOutlineColor Red="0" Green="0" Blue="0" />
<PreferedAntialiasColor Red="128" Green="128" Blue="128" />
</PreferedSubtitleColors>
</Settings>

Many thanks.

Here is a GUI request:

On the main screen (with the picture at the top, and the list of subtitles at the bottom) - there is a divider bar between then two and you can drag it up and down to resize the sections - I would like to request that you allow us to drag it further DOWN -
Currently i can't see all of the "position the subtitles" field - but could if i could drag it a bit further down.

Hi,

Could you please post a screen copy so that we can exactly see what you mean. (use imageshack)

Thanks
