Cool! I'll check that out.
EDIT: The latest drivers say

I'll check further.

I was thinking more about post processing the srt file to get rid of the rollup issue. It seems doable. I found this example of an srt file on the net.
First line: Sequence number.
Second: Time to display --> time to clear
Rest: Text to display

Senator, we're making
our final approach into Coruscant.

Very good, Lieutenant.



As a first cut I would think it would be good to take a word or a couple words at a time and display, instead of a letter at a time. If I get the CC working I'll take a look at writing a post processor.

You might be right on the win2k support. I looked at the inf file and it does seem to support 2k. I'll let you know.

I think sub said that it only works with the cyberlink decoder. If you look in graphedit you would need to see the line21 decoder hooked up. Other decoders could work but sub hasn't added supported for them. Your other option is once the CC are in the mpeg stream, to use mpg2srt to separate the captions and then use the internal srt viewer. I keep wanting to try this, but I have to upgrade my system to xp since I think the new drivers are xp and up only.

That might be my issue too, I don't have the cyberlink decoder, nor a line21 decoder. I while try a trial over the weekend. I am very interested in creating a file (or livetv) with the embedded SRT stream because based on the code mvpmc should be able to display it on the MVP without the mpg2srt step.

I am also using mpg2srt without success. That is not because of mpg2srt but my learning how to call the postprocessing.bat file. It appears that when I have that bat file and comskip not run during a recording then comskip isn't run and I have to put it into the postprocessing.bat file. So some playing but should get it working soon.

ok my PostProcessing.bat file

Code:

@echo off
REM Usage: PostProcessing [Filename] [Channel Number]

comskip.exe %1

echo mpg2srt %1 /d"%~d1%~p1" >> logs\PostProcessing.log
mpg2srt %1 /d"%~d1%~p1" >> logs\mpg2srt.log

my PostProcessing.log is

Code:

mpg2srt "D:\TV\Recordings\Oprah Winfrey\Oprah Winfrey_20070420_16001700.mpg" /d"D:\TV\Recordings\Oprah Winfrey\"

it seems write but the mpg2srt log shows the the extra (") because of gbpvr replacing the (*) with the ("). The (*) is there I believe cause of the show was marked as new via TV Guide Supercharger.

My mpg2srt.log is

Code:

Priority set to IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS
MPG2SRT: v0.3

I saw that but I looked at that as being for that release. Hopefully you are right and it applies to all subsequent versions as well. The inf file indicates that it would work, but that doesn't mean that much. I'll check it out.

Can't you run mpg2srt without the /d parameter?

[Smoker]

Can't you run mpg2srt without the /d parameter?

Actually trying that now. I went back to the docs and realized I was reading for version 0.2 and I have 0.3. So when I entered mpg2srt on the command line it didn't show the /d. Will post my results.

[Smoker]

ok got it to work from the command line with...

Code:

mpg2srt "V:\TV\Recordings\The King of Queens\The King of Queens_20070420_17301800.mpg" /d"V:\TV\Recordings\The King of Queens"

Note that the path does not have the ending (\).

What I have to figure out now is how to remove that ending (\).

Currently using

Code:

mpg2srt %1 /d"%~d1%~p1"

but that won't work with mpg2srt.
