Make sure you have extracted the zip file with. With archive manager installed, you can extract the zip file in any location.
Somewhere along the line i seem to recall using a text editor The hardest part was getting that text from the text editor into my Download file Please dont tell me to open it up like any other zip file because i have no idea how to do that. I just don't know the intervening steps very well. Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. P.S: Would you like to share what difficulties you faced with the SubRip CLI?ĭisclaimer: I haven't tested the new "Fill matrix from text" feature which ai4spam talked about.By using our site, you acknowledge that you have read and understand our Cookie PolicyPrivacy Policyand our Terms of Service. Because then I can use it as a standalone tool for all my srt conversions and thus end all my troubles. *If* there is a converter which would do all this without user intervention, I would like to know about it too. As an example, my current SubRip character matrix is more than 100 DVDs strong and just when I think I got it all covered, there comes a DVD where I have to reenter everything from scratch :\ (Ofcourse, there is the guess character option, but IME sometimes it takes a wrong guess).ġ) To assume that the user is aware of the size implications when he chooses external idx/sub and hence he will adjust the CD size accordingly (reduce it a bit).Ģ) To let the user type in the characters for the srt conversion, at least he will get SubRip/SubResync/whatever launched automatically for him if he chooses external idx/sub. Having to type in the characters (some amount at least) to convert either idx/sub->srt or ifo/bup/vob->srt is a necessary evil and can't be avoided since we are converting picture to text (.bmp->text) and no OCR software would be that super-intelligent to be able to read and understand all the subtitle images out there - every font, shape and size.
I thought when using external/seperate to either convert the IDX/SUB to an nice and small SRT file or make an SRT file from scratch using the IFO/VOB.Īny ideas on this ? How would you achieve this ? This has to be something I can run without any user intervention. So I added another approach of having external/seperate subtitle files, so rather than the burnt in subs I had the seperate IDX/SUB files, trouble is, these can be quite massive and the avi size needs amending if you were to say, do a 1 CD convert and the size amendment can be quite significant. That's all great as I then burn them directly into the AVI during the encode. I'm using the command-line of VobSub, which I find excellent, to make an IDX/SUB and refernce it from my AVS file via my program. I had a look at the 'CLI' file, tried, but couldn't really get it to work which is down to me, I just got a bit dis-heartened with it all. I had a look at subrip and I must say I wasn't very impressed, though that's probably down to my lack of knowledge on that program.
