how to make softsubs from hardsub avi under linux?

Post by k361 » Jul 30th, '11, 19:06

Hello

I want to extract subtitle from a hardsubbed video.

I checked some threads (a, b) and found some programms for windows (suprip, AviSubDetector). they dont work for me.

Does anyone know where to look for a programm under linux (ubuntu)?

The hardsubbed video has higher resolution, but poor picture quality.

The Linux programs I know only do OCR on DVD subtitles, not directly from videos. Running AVISubDetect in wine fails when opening a video (after installing codec stuff with winetricks, the codec seems to crash). The AVISubDetect source is available at http://web.archive.org/web/200710311111 ... tector.htm (not the most recent version though) but in Delphi/Pascal, no idea if that can easily be ported to Linux (probably not).

Thank you for the reply.

AVISubDetect crashed under wine. SubRip seek for AviSynth. I see some linux-tools for VOB -> srt, but none for hardsubbed video.

Thanks for the link, must check the needed components for it.

Normally I don't use my computer for manipulating images/videos, so i am new with this tools and the tool-chain.
Maybe i will take the timing from a korean SMI-file and type the subtitles from video output.

Install a virtual XP machine and use the windows environment.
Those tools don't exist for Linux or don't run smoothly in it.
Try it.

Typing all by hand is an exhausting work. :crazy:

The subtitle for Oda Nobunaga is finished.
At the moment I'm typing off the subs for Risou no Kekkon.
The source VHSrip have bad quality. I got it with an ocr subtitle, but 1/3 of all lines are crap. Many multiple nonsense lines.

I think my virtual XP should still work and I can give it a try on the next sub.
Thanks for the reply.
