DVB-T Subtitles not showing

[mvallevand]

Thanks, not using subtitles here myself, I am trying to understand how people do use this. I thought most people where using idx/sub for archiving graphic subtitles.

I guess some people are, but since .srt format is more or less plain text it is much easier to translate to another languague if one needs to.

[mvallevand]

Yes but don't they use Esperanto on Red Dwarf anyway?

I can't really remember, I used to watch it when I was young, but that's beginning to be a very long time since

I just ordered a pch a-110 and a Hauppauge hvr-930c. I will test the vlc postprocessing approach for dvb subtitles as soon as I get it ...

[Reddwarf]

I had no success with the VLC approach, but I can rip dvb-subtitles into .ifo/.sup files. I haven't found a program yet that can Ocr' them into .srt files, so if anyone has done this, please let me know.

i got them extracted from sample file earlier in this thread with http://www.cs.usyd.edu.au/~efax/DVBTextSub.html with this cmd line:
dvbtextsub 579 299 -srt < "Stone Cold_20091030_21002300.ts" -out output.srt

output looks like:

Code:

1
00:00:04,220 --> 00:00:08,820
Gud tilgir deg,
men det gjör ikke Broderskapet.

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,020
Du kan ikke dra.

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,040
-De vil komme etter deg.
-Hvem bryr seg?

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,520
De kan pröve å drepe meg
om de vil, jeg tar den sjansen.

5
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,360
Hör på meg, Nancy.

but i have no idea how to easily determine codepage..tho that shouldn't change often..
would be nice if it extracted all to a file/per language..
