Automated JPN subtitles [Jpsubbers]

Jpsubbers is now located here
http://jpsubbers.x10.mx/Japanese-Subtitles/
=================================
Many of you probably know about this already, but here's a link anyway:

http://transportstreams.org/captions/

This archive is automatically updated with the closed captions from all shows Elitist Fags release TS's for (provided that the TV stations includes captions in the broadcast). It's generally updated within 30-45 minutes of the airing's end.

You can use these subtitles for absolutely anything you want (including claiming you made them yourself), go hog wild.

Interesting, you should also know if you don't already that there is another japanese guy (qop123 , http://fansub.d-addicts.com/Qop123%27s_Japanese_Subtitles_Project) also recording many dramas in japan and extracting captions from TS files with caption2ass like you do, but he is only capping dramas and not all animes and few dramas like Elitist Fags. He's also not providing TS files like you do, just the closed captions of many dramas.
Plus, in the three posts where you posted, I am surprised you missed the big message from qop123 that's always here when he is providing subtitles. Just because someone did take subtitles for Moyashimon Live action from your place before without saying the website where he found it (which is dumb, I agree with you), doesn't mean anybody else will do it too Smile

Hello~

I admire that Elitist Fags is so well equipped and so powerfully operating. I wonder what he does for his living.

I'm thinking of going public too, automating all the processes. As it is, it is already automated to the part of extracting these Japanese subs. The rest is just to extend it to the publishing.

At first, it was not that hard, and so it was not necessary, and I liked the old handout method, dealing with and making promises with people. But after doing this for some time, and after some thinking, I came to think that after all, automating and going public is better.

Some people requested for quicker raw uncut subs for translation purposes, and I sometimes responded to and sometimes ruthlessly denied their requests. If this goes automated, they don't have to ask me at all, which should be better for them. And to think of the time lags that necessarily ensue with the manual handout method, I now think that it is better to automate the processes so that the handlers can get to work when they choose at an earliest timing.

I have yet to look for a hoster and ask for help to some of my programmer friends about how to automatically upload the files, and maybe about whipping up the script too. But that should not be that difficult.

Hello~

Some progress has been made, and I have set up the hosting site and released the files currently available.

The address is here.

http://qop123.hostwebs.com/Japanese-Subtitles/

But, as it is, the part of uploading the files has not been yet automated. This time, I only manually uploaded the files through a FTP client. But the thing does not look so hard, and so just a little more time to the complete automation.

@pluggy

Well, that might be a little disadvantage, but I think that as everyone is a big boy and a big girl, there should not be much problem. And, you know, people might not want to deal with me, who is to them what a dude he may be, and might hesitate to come forward. And I think that people who have more desire to help and contribute and who have more delicacy and care for synching will be spontaneously uploading the files. And even it was at first for personal use, if and once the files are synched to the raw videos, people would surely come forward and upload the files. And so I'm not worrying too much, and if it seems that it is not working, I can change the way in the future. Thank you for sending me a PM too.

All right, the automation has been completed. From now on, the files should be automatically uploaded to the above address in about 5-10 minutes after the airing finishes. I will observe the behavior a little bit, and if it continues to work with no problem, I will start to notify people. Special thanks to my friends who have helped me with technicalities!

good job qop123, thats pretty cool and will save you a lot of time Smile

and i guess, for next season onwards, we just need to reply to this thread or somewhere to volunteer in retiming the subs to the raws Smile

I have already edited the wiki a little bit. I'm thinking of using it as a place of coordination if people do not mind.

qop123, thank you so much for all your hard work. I really appreciate the captions cause as some others said before they're a great help for students and subbers!! Keep it up^^

awesome! japanese subs are a tremendous study help!

I'm not much into anime, and I don't really care about anime fansubbers fights, but I'm curious what happened to elitist fags! Anybody knows what happened and whether they're down permanently??

Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 12:51 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

i guess eltlist fags are dead.. so no more CCs from them! qop123 ganbare!

Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 1:21 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

judging from the message on their site, it seems like the elitist fags got trouble with the law?
I know it's illegal to upload anime captions.

I appreciate what qop123 has done, his CCs made my translations much easier. I'm worried qop123's site will be targeted next.

Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 1:46 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

perhaps mods should remove this thread to keep things safe?? since most people already know qop123's website.

qop123 what do you suggest?

Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 2:16 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

Don't worry furransu, nothing will happen to qop123 website.

jif47, thanks for the clarification...I was wondering what was going on, since I only read some angry fansubbers' comment somewhere...Glad nothing serious for our dramas then Tongue

i've updated qop123's wiki page with the next season's dramas i'm interested in Smile

Is qop123's website down ? 403 Access Forbiden... Sad

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:37 am Post subject: Post Rating: 0

I'm getting that message too. It could be the site has exceeded it's capacity or transfer limit Sad

Like furransu said I hope it's just a technical problem...

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:58 am Post subject: Post Rating: 0

No it's not a technical issue. As for right now, the archive might come back soon, but only the timers of the dramas will have access to it if it comes back, no public access anymore.

Too bad... No more fake or gou for me...

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 11:39 am Post subject: Post Rating: 0

Half the shows have no timers: Fake, Gou, Onmyou Happyakuyachou, Galileo, Orange days, Mattsugu ... just a few that come to mind.

Besides, real life being what it is, it often happens that timers stop timing shows after a few episodes.

Perhaps private access could be granted to plain japanese learners such as myself (and not timers) ?

Thanks in advance,
-Danodare

Here the shows that are already being handled and timed :

Control by furransu

Gaikoukan Kuroda Kousaku by furransu

Kokuhatsu by furransu

LADY～Saigo no Hanzai Profile～ by furransu

Saijou no Meii by furransu

School!! by furransu

Utsukushii Rinjin by furransu

Misaki Number One!! by ggenglish

Deka Wanko by ggenglish

Fuyu no Sakura by ggenglish

Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta by ggenglish

As you can see, it's already a lot. Giving access to japanese learners would mean much effort since they are plenty here and it's really not an option right now. Two timers are already doing a lot of work with all of those shows. I think that finding some others wouldn't be that difficult.

If more people would help with timing the Japanese subs, it will be much better.. because this season nobody seems interested to do so Sad

You only just need to edit this page http://fansub.d-addicts.com/Qop123's_Japanese_Subtitles_Project if you wish to volunteer to do the Japanese subs for a drama.

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 7:08 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

Yep, I believe it's because the archive was public and I knew this would lead to this point where only a few people want to time.

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 7:33 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

So does that mean the captions project will be continued but we'll have to wait for re-timed versions to be uploaded here?

I'm very grateful for what qop and his team do, and in whatever way I can help, I will^^

I have no idea about timing but if furansu or sb else is willing to teach me, I could do so for one of the drama that are still vacant. Big Smile

I was hoping I could continue to check my understanding of drama by reading up on those captions that usually come out the day the drama airs. That's why I would rather not wait for timings, cause I never use the Japanese subs, I just check a couple of lines using rikaichan for the kanji Tongue

Thanks for all your efforts again!! cheers

Okay I'm late for the "party", so qop123 page with japanese subtitles won't be open to public again, right?

And no one applied as timer for "Honboshi ~ Shinri Tokuso Jikenbo" & "Quartet".
This means that there won't be around Japanese subs for these 2 dramas?

To time the subs we would just have to do what's written here -> http://fansub.d-addicts.com/Qop123%27s_Japanese_Subtitles_Project
Right?

If that's what we have to do, then I'm willing to help as a timer.
It's not the first time I have to time & edit subs.

If you know a link to a good tutorial for timing, i'm ok to time gou and fake.

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:11 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

I'm also willing to time the Japanese subs. I already have 2 episodes of FAKE timed, so I can upload those. The Japanese subtitles are very helpful not only to those learning Japanese and for subbers, but also to people hard of hearing (like my mom). I certainly hope we can somehow continue to have access to the Japanese subs.

Right now, all the timer volunteers need to write their name according to the rule in this wiki : http://fansub.d-addicts.com/Qop123%27s_Japanese_Subtitles_Project so that all the dramas are handled. Then, we will decide about the way to deliver privately the captions to the timers that will upload those subtitles to d-addicts after that, let's take it one step at a time.

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:49 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

I just added my name for Honboshi & Quartet.

And someone else applied for Fake a few mins ago

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:52 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

Quartet doesn't air with japanese subtitles, so you can delete it.

I know metalian33 already volunteered for Gou here, but I see on the wiki page that Gou is still MIA.

Since I've already done 2 episodes for it and translated them to English subs, and want to continue, can I be the timer for Gou?

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:55 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

Ok do it. Add your name to the wiki.

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:59 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

I applied for Fake and Onmitsu Happyaku Yacho. I was wondering though, is Onmitsu Happyaku Yacho airing with JP subs?

Ok so for now, there is only Jidan Koushounin Gota Keshi , Dr. Irabu Ichiro and Bartender left for this season.

qop123, Why did not entering http://qop123.hostwebs.com/Japanese-Subtitles/ ?

I can try for Gota Keshi and Bartender - but I don't see any files for the first one around, yet.^^

Bartender doesn't start until Feb Smile

Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 11:00 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

I signed up for Dr Irabu Ichiro.

Ok so now, all the dramas are handled. Thanks to all of you that have applied. Right now we need some time to think about the best private way to handle the delivery, don't worry dramas captions of new episodes are still being made .

Do simple login systems exist? or maybe just change the name of the webpage and only share the new page link to the handlers Smile
