Bad Language Muting

[mof777]

Hi!

I have created a modified version of DirectVobSub(vsfilter.dll)
which reads the subtitles, looks for bad language and mutes the audio (in ZoomPlayer) while displaying and edited subtitle. It has options on the Main property page for disabling this feature as well as setting the language level.

Unfortunately I have limited access to the Internet (library) and have no way at present to provide a link for any others who may be interested. If any one could advise what is the best way to do this, it would be appreciated.

I would also like to thank Gabest and the others who released the source for DirectVobSub, it's a great piece of coding.

Thanks

I have placed a version at sites.google.com/site/mutegreek
the file name is MutingDirectVobSub.zip which includes the modified vsfilter.dll as well as a small pdf instruction file.

Thanks! I haven't tested it yet, but it looks quite useful. You can upload it to mediafire.com for an alternate hosting site. BTW, You may be interested in my guide to editing dvd audio and subtitles (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=140026).

Thankyou for the info. I'll checkout mediafire.com. I downloaded your guide to editing and will have a look at it at home:)

Thanks littleD for the link, but that patent seems to be speech based rather than text. I hope sometime to update my version so that it can read the captions directly from the DVD.

P.S. Does anyone know how to force a windows video player to load DirectVobSub when playing a DVD? I found some code that would enable me to mute the Windows Mixer rather than having to depend upon Zoom Player, but of course DirectVobSub would have to be loaded and in place.

Thanks.

Well, then u should be using some ocr stuff.

U cannot force any player to load DVS when playing DVD disc. There is a DSH filter called dvd navigator, that takes care of dvd content. U can clikck on the screen to navigate, for example, thanx to it.

Yes, I've compiled GOCR so that it is a DLL, now all I have to do is format the subtitles so that it can process it.

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look at the DSH filter. I noticed that Media Player Classic can load DirectVobSub, and since its free I'll make my mod compatible with it. I can now mute the audio in MPC (WM_COMMAND, 909, 0). :)

I have finally been able to add a subtitle pin to DirectVobSub(DVS). It took me a while as I only understand about 1% of what I'm doing. I have also been able to add code from DVDSubEdit and GOCR so that the DVD subtitles are decoded on the fly into text. At present they are outputted to a text file for debugging purposes. Now all I have to do is plug the stream into DVS and it can mute on the fly.:)

p.s. Thanks to Jeanl for the DVDSubedit code, it is a great help for my current project.
