Subtitle Edit

[mood]

Thanks, well hidden. Is there a way to apply it to all lines ?

yes, in export window border style choose box is applied to all lines

edit: the difference is "single line" separates the break line, "multi line" uses black box with break line

is the same thing with space in between line with and without break line

It was better if "single line" it was only for the line without break

[Music Fan]

Yes, that's great (I found just before seeing your answer but thanks anyway).

Question on PGS subs and flag "forced".
Hi all, wondering if anyone can share some light on this:
SE is terrific with reading and converting PGS to srt.
I am in process of re-encoding some Game of Thrones bluray discs and I have found something weird: PGS track only for subs (ita, standard subtitles set, whole episode) but when I watch the video on PC using mpc-hc the subtitles menu offers the chance to pick up ITA-forced.
This is really puzzling me: no matter if I use dvdfab or staxrip to rip but, granted, there is just ONE ita subs choice.
Selecting "ita forced" from player I can actually have the proper subtiles only when the language is the one they use as native language (dothraki or whatever). A few lines only.
Question is: how can I select these only from the whole file? There is any "flag" or anything I can work on SE? any tick or something?
Really bizarre situation, cant work it out and I'm not a noob at these things.
Many thanks in advance!!!

[sneaker_ger]

In a single PGS track you can have lines flagges as forced while others are not. MPC-HC's LAV Splitter can present these as a virtual track to select. Since it does not actually exist as a separate track you won't see it in other programs. You can check that by (during playback in MPC-HC) going into "Play"->"Filters"->"LAV Splitter [...]" and toggling "Enable Automatic Forced Subtitle Stream". Restart MPC-HC to test new setting. If the track disappears when option is turned off you know it was only a virtual track.

For such PGS subtitles in Subtitle Edit you only have to tick "Show only forced subtitles" at the bottom of the PGS import/OCR window.

Thanks, it works fine!
guess it's too late but what I do is convert sup files to srt. Once done it's too late? If I have the srt file with thw whole set of lines there's any way to pick up forced only or the flags are gone?
I guess they're gone..

[sneaker_ger]

They are gone.

Hi Nikse

I'm playing around and testing .ass subtiltes to export as SUP.
Now I'm using two different "ASSA" styles having different fonts. In the SUP export window I put different Line height settings for each style. SE doesn't appear to do honour that.

Example: I set line 1 with style 1 to Lineheight 62. After that I set Lineheigt to eg. 73 for line 2 with style 2.
When I go back to line 1, its Lineheight is changed back to a default 101, also when I put another number for style 2.

Is this something that can be fixed? I'd love to be able to lock a dedicated Lineheight to an ASSA style.

cheers

[mbcd]

Yes, I tried that too, with the styles of .ass there are some little problems. Color is taken, but position (different borders in .ass-styles) are not recognized by output.

So to say it in short. The styles of .ass are not taken correctly by output to .sup.

[mbcd]

There is also a "BUG" with the waveforms.

If you use VLC as Mediaplayer, and you have a source which contains more than one audio-track, you get still shown the first audio as waveform.

That is not good, because you cant adjust and time subtitles to another audio-language, you still need the waveform of the actual choosen audio-track.

[Nikse555]

@von Suppé: Could you test latest beta - it should remember line height for each style: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases/download/3.4.13/SubtitleEditBeta.zip

@mbcd: The above beta should also support pos(x,y) tags (as well as borders/italic/font size/font face/bold/color). If your video contains more than one audio track SE should prompt for audio track... be sure that you have latest VLC or FFMPEG.

[von Suppé]

Awesome. I go testing.

Much obliged for your work, Nikse :-)

[Thunderbolt8]

would it be possible to modify batch conversion to do batch processing without conversion as well? or just alternatively add a batch processing option. the point is that when using batch conversion as a kind of batch processing just for applying stuff like 'removing text for HI' or 'fix common error settings' for multiple files then batch format conversion is applied automatically as well. this is problematic in case of .ass subs which have been created with dvdsubextractor with the keeping the original line positions on screen option when using the .ass output format. in that case the header is different from the default one I use for all other standard .ass files and musnt be changed. otherwise the original line positions cant be shown. in such a case Id have to copy & paste the default header I use in subtitleedit elsewhere, then copy&paste the header of such a .ass file, then do the conversion/processing and afterwards restore the default header information again. this is all a bit clumsy and could be avoided by simply having the option to do batch processing without being forced to use conversion as well.

Will test it out if output is taken to SUP !!!

BTW: Could it be that you are using some wrong EPOCH in creating SUP? I created several bluray-subs, and eac3to reports every time that there are only 1 caption inside, but there are always hundreds. Extractred SUP from blurays report the correct value (higher values) with eac3to. I think there is some fault.

EDIT: Looks like a caption of SubtitleEdit is never "closed" correctly in SUP.

[amayra]

thanks for your hard work and i have question do you update beta ver frequently ?
PS: i like how your repository always active

[Nikse555]

EDIT: Looks like a caption of SubtitleEdit is never "closed" correctly in SUP.
Very possible as I've never seen the specs and SE sup code is loosely based on bdsuptosub. Do you know how a cap should be closed correctly?

@amayra: The beta is normally updated 2-3 three times a week. Thx, always much to do :)

[von Suppé]

@von Suppé: Could you test latest beta - it should remember line height for each style: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases/download/3.4.13/SubtitleEditBeta.zip
During testing I encountered same problem again. Putting different line-height numbers seems to be remembered initially, but after scrolling upwards manually the numbers go back to a default 101 again.

Also, when putting the bottom offset in ass subtitle styles, both output-SUP and preview in SE's output-window are too high.

Cheers

[edcrfv94]

SubtitleEdit can batch extract DVB-SUB from a ts file and convert to a sup file?

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is a way to remove completely the double lines in subtitles for hearing impaired.
Here is the debut of the original subtitle (extracted with CCExtractor) containing a lot of lines, nearly one for each new word ;

I got the idea to use a 2nd time "merge lines with same text" but it doesn't detect the double lines anymore (and the display duration is too long, 7 seconds for n° 4, but I believe I can limit duration).

[S_E_New]

@Nikse555 is there any way I can do this?

http://i.imgur.com/XywyD0k.png

What I mean is that if there is any way to put subtitles with the same start, end and length at the same time, provided that the first line has an alignment (Top/Left, Top/Center, Top/Right, etc)

:thanks:

[Nikse555]

(edited post) Are you talking about image based export or just saving in .ASS S_E_New ?

[S_E_New]

Sorry for not expressing myself properly, I'm talking about image based export (VobSub).

Hello.

Is there any other way besides "teaching" OCR process in order to convert the VobSub subtitles of a DVD to SRT file ?

Unfortunately, I don't know if this is a problem of my Bluray player, but when I feed my Bluray with a MKV file (DVD rip) with embedded VobSub file it doesn't recognize it at all.

Also if I extract the original IDX/SUB subtitle from MKV and put it in the same folder with MKV, I have a lot of problems with my Bluray player, although it can read it and display the subtitles.

If I seek forward/backwards it looses sync of external IDX/SUB subs and even If I don't seek, sometimes the IDX/SUB subtitles are just standing on screen for many seconds after audio finish.

So, I can't see any other solution but converting IDX/SUB to SRT.

Any other idea ?

Any easy way to convert IDX/SUB to SRT ?

P.S
All of my converted DVD rips to MKV work fine with subtitles using PC.

The problem is about Bluray displaying subtitles (VobSub).

[sneaker_ger]

If your player is broken there isn't much to fix.

Things you can check:
- try embed in mkv with zlip compression (mkvmerge default)
- try embed in mkv without zlip compression
- what is the resolution of the idx/sub? Try to downscale to e.g. 720x480, 720x576 or video resolution. (BDSup2Sub can do that, don't know about Subtitle Edit)
- every combination of the above

[NikosD]

I have tried both two versions suggested - with or without zlib compression and with uncompressed subtitles the situation is a little better but not a miracle.

I haven't changed the original resolution of 720x576, it's already low I think.

My Blurays 3D are both LG and relatively recent models like BX580.

I have no other problem besides embedded VobSub and external idx/sub rendering.

So, are you saying that other Blurays can handle VobSub or idx/sub in a perfect way ?

Thanks for your reply BTW

[Music Fan]

You can also convert your subtitles to Blu-ray sup with SE and make an AVCHD with tsMuxer, admitting your player handles AVCHD (on usb key, external hard drive, dvd or BD-R) and if your videos have a standard resolution (that's why I never remove black borders, anyway it doesn't need a lot of bitrate).

[sneaker_ger]

My Blurays 3D are both LG and relatively recent models like BX580.
BX 580 is over 6 years old. Maybe it's worth to check some mkv compatibility options? Add "--clusters-in-meta-seek --disable-track-statistics-tags --engage no_cue_duration --engage no_cue_relative_position" as additional options into the mkvmerge command-line (in "Output" tab in the GUI).

So, are you saying that other Blurays can handle VobSub or idx/sub in a perfect way ?
I don't really see a lot of complains about it but I couldn't name any recommendations. I know people wouldn't be converting their BluRay subtitles to idx/sub if those were problematic on every player.

Or maybe your subtitles are special (fades/animations?) exceeding specs.

[NikosD]

My subtitles are not special,they are very simple.

I thought that most people and most "pirates" convert the VobSub subtitles to SRT, not idx/sub.

I will give a give a try to your command line suggestions.

[NikosD]

You are right, the BX 580 is a 2010 release and my other Bluray is BD670, a 2011 release.

Not so new, but great BDs in their time.

[sergio2]

My Samsung TV does not read PGS subtitles, so I use to import those subtitles from .mkv files and convert them into .srt files with Subtitle Edit.
I then remux .mkv files with .srt subtitles with MKVMerge to display .srt subtitles on my TV.
The thing is that subtitles wich are well located in downscreen black bar at the begining of the video, move up on the junction between black bar and picture after a while.
Any clue to maintain them in downscreen black bar ?

[hubblec4]

You could try BDSup2Sub. Convert your PGS into a Sub.idx/Sub.sub (DVD subtitle format) without changing the resolution and position.

[locotus]

After using V3.50 for a couple of wees, found that when converting srt subs to vobsub the program
forgets selected font color, even without closing the program.

In last multiple replace modification import and export functions were eliminated. There were a nice way
to transfer that data base from one computer to another. If posible, would be nice to recover both of them and include some way of sorting to ease checking and corrections.

Thanks in advance.

[Thunderbolt8]

would it be possible to add the option to save certain subtitle formats & styles for batch conversion? whenever I just want to convert something else than .ass I have to re-specify all .ass parameters manually again after that (font size, colors, vertical margin, order values, video resolutio, wrap style...).

[Thunderbolt8]

would it also be possible to add options in batch conversion to choose the order of how convert options will be applied? usually its better to use "remove text for HI" before "fix common errors", but in case of some web-dl subs which consist of lots of instances with more than two spoken lines per subtitle line its better to apply fix common errors before removing text for HI, because "remove text for HI" works better if subtitles consist only of two spoken lines per subtitle line and not three (which then gets fixed before applying the HI fixes)

[locotus]

Hi, think I found a bug in Spell Check, at least in Spanish.

When a word that need to be corrected or change is between interrogation marks (¿?)
it seems to work in the spell check window, but really don't apply the changes.
Need to abort the spell check and do the change manually. Then, run again spell Check.
