easySUP/goSUP - an easy way to create BD SUP, BDN XML/PNG & DVD SUB with SRT/ASS/SUB

[deank]

I'll look at it tomorrow. Most of my tests were made with video+subtitles. That's how easySUP detects the resolution and framerate, otherwise it defaults to 1280x720@23.976... Or that's what I remember.

Argh, I'm trying to duplicate my exact sequence, but having some trouble. I should point-out tho that I've been launching easySUP from it's own directory, and I also have mAVCHD in another directory--maybe C:\Program Files (x86)\easySUP\easySUP.exe is looking at the .ess and .ini in C:\Program Files (x86)\multiAVCHD or something.

Anyway now that you told me it looks for info from the .srt file, I know to make my settings/load my .ess AFTER I've loaded the .srt. Otherwise my settings get munged it seems.

easySUP is now updated to 0.5.

You can get the .exe (44kb) from this link and extract it in your easySUP or multiAVCHD folder, or get the full standalone from this link (2,4MB).

* Fixed: framerate change was not applied to the conversion. It is okay now.

Thanks Dean, I will give it a try.

Without having specifically nailed it down, I still suspect part of my recent problem(s) with it were related to having easySUP in both its own folder and elsewhere with mAVCHD. I decided to leave easySUP with mAVCHD and not have it separate.

[deank]

It shouldn't cause problems to have both, but...

easySUP uses a folder "easySUP" under the path it is saved in and all of its work is done there.

When you have time - give it a try to see if there is any difference.

Feature request:

1. When it automatically saves the sup, it saves it as .sup. It would be nice to save it with the name of the srt inserted. Example: movie.srt - movie.sup
2. A queue, for processing more than 1 subtitle at once.

Thx.

[deank]

When it finishes a dialog appears for you to select the filename.

[crl2007]

Yes, but i was talking about when you tick the "Use common save folder". When you tick this it does not ask you for a filename, it only saves as .sup.

i try to use easysup to generate BDN XML and the png
I import a test srt file and it starts and takes ages to process
I dont get the point it seems to encode something but I just need the xml file and the png pictures.
any ideas

thanks

[deank]

If you expected to get the result within 4-5 mins may be a new definition of "ages" is needed.

easySUP uses 2 applications and you can follow their progress while conversion is performed.

TO GET THE POINT: While it "encodes something" - it creates the PNG files that you want PLUS the XML. Did you expect to get it done in 2 seconds?!

[cyrille]

I made a test with the following srt file (7 subtitles only)
_____________
it takes 25 minutes to generate

as a comparaison i used the program advanced subtitler from DVD Logic
http://www.dvd-logic.com/subtitler.htm

it takes 5 seconds to generate

so something migt be wrong in my setup, any ideas?

On my PC processing a file with 1200 subtitle lines takes ~6-7min to complete (using fast-mode option).

[deank]

After your post I thought why I actually use avs2bdnxml application to create the PNG's and the XML.

I created a small application just an hour ago (goSUP). It uses avisynth to create the PNGs and supports microDVD SUB, SRT and ASS/SSA files. It creates PNG+XML much much faster (in few seconds actually, so 100-200x speed improvement).

It supports converting the PNG+XML to SUP/PGS with BDsup2sub.

So in few words, you feed the app with .srt/.sub/.ssa/.ass file and you get PGS/SUP file (or/and PNG+XML). If there is any interest I can post more about it.

Dean, it sounds nice, where can I get the app to try?

thanks

Cyrille

[deank]

I'll post a link for the .exe probably tomorrow. I'm still experimenting with shadow/outline/opacity settings.

At least it is really fast (about 50-100 subtitle lines per second depending on resolution).

Dean

[cyrille]

thank you Dean

I think the problem with the extremely long processing i had is due that in my srt file the timecode starts at 11:30:01,720
it means at 11 hours 30 min etc

it seems that easysup starts to count by default at 00. so it assumed my film was 11 hours more

( I did not load any video )

a I right?

Cyrille

[cyrille]

Dean

I confirm with srt file starting at 00 things go fast

greetings

Cyrille

[cyrille]

Dean,
I dont get the 8bit rar

in the log window it says that the 8 bit rar is saved in the same folder as the 32 bit but it is not in t

thanks

Nice to hear about a new little app

Can it process effects, fonts and positioning from ass/ssa or will it be more like a "quick and simple" conversion?

/LD

[deank]

It is quick and simple. It converts sub/ssa/ass to srt internally and then converts it to png+xml and then to .sup with bdsup2sub.
