Help with converted timed text subtitle...

[Microfiche]

Hey all! I have a timed text subtitle that I pulled out of an MP4 file that I would love to fix. Mediainfo shows the format as Timed Text, Muxing mode as sbtl, and Codec ID as tx3g if that helps.

A sample portion of the SRT file I have now looks like this:

2405
01:38:18,343 --> 01:38:23,680
Simple.
I am throwing away my shots.
I am throwing my shots.

2406
01:38:23,682 --> 01:38:25,181
I am throwing away my shots.
I am throwing my shots.
Anyone and I am throwing away my

2407
01:38:25,183 --> 01:38:25,481
I am throwing my shots.
Anyone and I am throwing away my
shots.

2408
01:38:25,483 --> 01:38:33,483
Anyone and I am throwing away my
shots.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to clean this up so it is watchable?

How did you extract the subtitles from the MP4 file?

For timed text, I've had no problems using ffmpeg.

ffmpeg -i infile.mp4 -vn -an outfile.srt

I aint no expert on subs but I think those are scrolling subs, like you might get in Youtube auto generated stuff.
If used/muxed as is, then will look ok, I think.

Do they look ok in original clip ?
What is the problem you are having ?

Yes - that is how I got that SRT file

Yes - they are converted from closed captions I think and the subs look like crap, both in the original and the SRT. I hate closed captions.

Here is recent thread on even more weird auto generated subs.
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=186129

EDIT:
And a YT clip which when you switch on subtitles, produces auto generated subs similar to those in above thread.

[Words appear one at a time, not just line at a time, and with line scrolling]

I think that you will have not much luck trying to mod to show non-scrolling subs,
I predict that hand editing to your perferences will be the only solution.

Hi Microfiche,
Can you post the complete srt file somewhere. [Maybe https://www.sendspace.com/ <30 days valid>]
Also, can you tell me if you are familiar with Avisynth ? [I know you are D9 newbie with only 3 posts]

I would like to play with your srt file for an hour or two, see if I can pluck out similarly timed subs and re-write without the scrolling type stuff.
I cannot guarantee anything, but I'de like to have a little try.

EDIT: I do already have script to scan srt files and add them to a database.
Would need additional script to try scan Dbase and produce separated lines as per your wish.
No idea if I can do it.

If successful, then can probably use same scripts for any future similar srt files.

Nope, not familiar with Avisynth - at least not in years.
I will try that app in the link you sent earlier first and get back to you!
I need an email for Sendspace if you want to DM that. (NVM - found in your profile)
Thanks!

Yup, that dumped out the same SRT info with scrolling dupe lines.

You can post file on sendspace without an account, however cannot eg later delete file without an account. (Links only valid for 30 days anyway)
Just keep a copy of the link given via sendspace, and post it here.

The "app in link", produces stuff like this (timed separate words, dont think of use to you)

I just sent it to the stainlesss AT sendspace email. Thanks!

Haven't found much info on trying to fix these - the only other person out there who seems to have an issue with those types of subtitles posted here in Reddit

[StainlessS]

Sorry, but that aint an email address, is just my shorthand for my account at SendSpace. [click on it will take you there, but, I aint used it now for quite some time and no current files on that account]

Just go here, https://www.sendspace.com/
and drag/paste your file, then dont fill in anything else, just hit UPLOAD.
Then copy the link for the "download page link", and post here in thread that link.

EDIT:
Looks like ASCII file has been hand edited in maybe UTF8 text editor, maybe, I think, perhaps.

Have you done any hand editing after ffmpeg conversion ???
If so, can you post unedited file.

EDIT: OK, seems that the "paragraph marks" are actually supposed to be music symbols, seems to be a song [Simon & Garfunkle, Homeward Bound].
Not really sure what to do with them. [ignore, omit, something else ???]

This is my default method. Works for 95% of my ttx subtitles.

@echo off
for %%a in (*.mp4) do call :process1 "%%a"
goto :end
:process1
"C:\CCExtractor 0.94\ccextractorwinfull.exe" -codec teletext %1 -o "%~dpn1.srt"
goto :eof
:end
pause

CCExtractor has several parameters you can try.

"C:\CCExtractor 0.94\ccextractorwinfull.exe" "my video.mp4" -o "my video.srt"
"C:\CCExtractor 0.94\ccextractorwinfull.exe" "my video.mp4" -dru -o "my video-direct_rollup.srt"
"C:\CCExtractor 0.94\ccextractorwinfull.exe" "my video.mp4" -noru -o "my video-norollup.srt"
"C:\CCExtractor 0.94\ccextractorwinfull.exe" "my video.mp4" -ru1 -o "my video-ru1.srt"
"C:\CCExtractor 0.94\ccextractorwinfull.exe" "my video.mp4" -ru2 -o "my video-ru2.srt"
"C:\CCExtractor 0.94\ccextractorwinfull.exe" "my video.mp4" -ru3 -o "my video-ru3.srt"

One of them may work.
I tend to load them all into the one batch file. Run it, and then take a peek at all the srt files.
