ANN: SubRip 1.50 b4

[Sven Bent]

You can put the file anywhere really. but i prever to put it in the
"ChMatrix" subfoler of where you installws subrip

E.G.
C:\Program Files\SubRip 1.50b5\ChMatrix



yes you are lookign at the right place.

move the slider so its says 1000
and adjust the values below the slider to
1
1
2


this makes the program search for more exact copies.
The trade of is it might not find one the resembles close enough and ask you to define the character. however with this big database it should happen very rarely. and the improved accuracy lower the riscs of getting wrong but similiar character like "i" and the reverse "!" from spanish.

if you want it to "guess" a bit more you can increase it to 2.2.2 to reduce the number of times it will ask you. i would not go above 2 2 2


-- edit --
If you want it to go a bit faster disable "show pict." and the autoscroll in the text window it helps a bit on systems under heavyload

Hi Sven Bent,

Thanks for your dummy-proof explanation. Appreciate the Help.

G! :thanks:

[Sven Bent]

just a little update I'm now hosting the file myself so i don't need to upload it everytime i update it

http://162.248.14.188:12380/

Note that this is the direct link to my file that i work with, so every time I've done some subtitles work, the file is updated.
so basically its always up to date

Hi SubRip team,

@ SubRip team, I downloaded and tried both SubRip 1.50 b6 and b7 versions and the Text and Outline Color does Not work, I mean it does not give the 3 Color Bar Choices, it stays Blank.

@ Sven Bent, I was wondering if SubRip can do Chinese Characters!?!? I don't read or speak Chinese ... so, I wonder if the Chinese OCR can be made Dummy Proof? Is this possible?

Thanks,

G! :)

Thank you for this! Really appreciate it! :)

I do have a problem! In v1.50b5 when I try to rip subtitles (idx) I get this, and for every single letter

In 1.50b7 same subtitles I get this

Any suggestions?

[Sven Bent]

i dont know abotu the b7 version it looks like the data is getting corrupted before it hits the ocr part.

In regards to b5 does it ask you for identifying all characters ?
if so you might just have hit a very different font than has ever gone though my subrip.
if you are only going to rip english go to the OCR section and set the last parameter back to the default 6. Lowering this values as i originally suggest, mostly help on spanish/mexican reverse "!".
if you do run it with the third ocr value set to 6, make sure to check for confused "i" vs reverse "!"

If this does not help, you can lower the general OCR accuracy from 1000 to 980 ( or even lower) but you run into a dangerous low accuracy and might see a lot of confused letters ( espceil lower case "v" "x" "o" vs capital version)
To be honest i wouldn't not advise to do this but instead just "bite the apple" and type in the different character into the matrix file.

it should however happen very rarely with my matrix file that you need to type in all the character yourself

[Dean007]

Even with suggested options it's still the same! :(

[Sven Bent]

Dont think there is nothing else to do than to type in the characters. It should "only" be once for each character.
Im however highly interested in what dvd it is. Maybe I can track it down so i can add this "font" into the matrix

[Dean007]

It's from TV show "The Strain"! Subtitles are in IDX/SUB format. If you can't find it tell I'll upload them!

[Sven Bent]

I haven't been able to find it :(

I have however with the new version of subrip (v.1.51.1) sorted the matrix so it should go faster now.
I'm still trying to suggest the current developer for a better sorting algorithm for a faster matrix file.

Nevertheless the most up to date version can be found here and gets updated withing seconds after i finish a new subtitle set

Try to un-check the "Use IDX's file offsets" checkbox in the "Global Options" dialog. I bet you had that already done in the old version.

Btw: you may import (copy) your SubRip.ini from an older version to the installation folder of a new SubRip version, to preserve your previous settings.

My server is up and running again so my matrix file can be downloaded

http://162.248.14.188/

remember to set you "Sensibility on character difference" to 1000
If you do spanish subtitles you need to lower "Max. Character Top Diff." to 2

[Xebika]

Will the setting of "Max. Character Top Diff." for spanish subtitles be the same for danish subtitles??

[Sven Bent]

Will the setting of "Max. Character Top Diff." for spanish subtitles be the same for danish subtitles??

No. The Max. Character Top Diff." is only to see the difference between the lower case "i" and the Spanish reverse exclamation mark "¡"

[Xebika]

Ok thanks for the information.

[Sven Bent]

just some small info update.

Ive noticed a few subtitles where the lowered "Max. Character Top Diff." would help resolves issues i with capital vs lowercase . its very few but if you run into that issues you might wanna reduce "Max. Character Top Diff." to 2 on other languages than Spanish.
i personally runs mine on 2 most of the time but I'm a bit over cautious

My ISP gave me a new IP again.

Currently my matrix file can be found here
http://162.248.14.188/

it haven't been updated for month's as i have been busy with other projects

[Sven Bent]

Just an update if people are still using my matrix file.
i finally got my domain up and working so no more dead links when i get a new IP :)

Is there any active support yet? I need to report some problems with UTF-8 output encoding, actually giving ANSI files.

What a pity. I think it's the best DVD OCR out there.

[locotus]

This one is also not updated, but for DVD still works very fine for me.

Subtitle Edit works perfectly with DVDs.

Subtitle Edit works perfectly with DVDs.
I am encoding my private DVD collection to NAS as the supports are starting to lose reflective properties (some are 20 or more years old).

I am talking about more than one thousand.

I tried both and SubRip is way more accurate.

I've used both applications quite a lot over the years and don't miss SubRip at all. I guess it depends a huge amount on your settings (colors and max error-% so that you teach the detection to get better over time), and it varies between DVDs as well. And I don't even think about using Tesseract, binary compare is the way to go.

EDIT: One option could be to just extract the subs and use them as they are?

Unfortunately there is no puke smiley in this board.

Ever tried to look at resized DVD bitmap subs?

Of course I've had to test how it looks :D

I would be interested in testing if you have a particularly difficult case to OCR.
