You can't just type a period and be done with it, you have to click Extend so that it highlights both dots (Possibly even the next character). Sometimes you'll get the red box over the top dot of a colon ':'. What you would do in this case is click the “Extend” button so that the red box at the bottom includes the second letter. This is for the same reason as above except it's a weird situation where it confuses the OCR into thinking that the first half of the second letter is part of the first letter, disconnected from the second. Sometimes the red box will select one letter and half of another. Simply type both letters (Or more depending on your situation) and you'll be fine. This is because the images of the letters are merged and the OCR system in SubResync can't tell them apart. Sometimes you will get two or more letters in the box. You can get into the mood and begin to do it pretty quickly, but still be careful because any mistakes will be transferred into the end result.

This might seem tedious but you get used to it.

If it ever encounters that same character sequence, 'e!', it won't ask you again. Now what you would do is type 'e!' into the box. What you would do in this case is click the “Extend” button so that the red box at the bottom includes the exclamation mark. This is because there is a variation in the image which made it not be able to detect the 'e' like it did last time. However, sometimes it's a letter you already typed but it's followed by punctuation.įor example say you've already typed in 'e', but now it's asking you for 'e' again except it's immediately followed by an exclamation mark. Usually you just type it in, for example the red box will be around a period character and so you just type the period. Sometimes you will encounter punctuation. The red box at the bottom shows what letter or character sequence you are currently typing. So basically you're going to do this until it has all the letters used in the subtitle and all variations of it. What this program is doing is using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to map each letter image to a text letter. The reason you are doing this is because SUB and IDX subtitles are what they call “Image Subtitles”, and you want to convert them to SRT which are text subtitles. So in this case at the bottom, I would press 'M' and press ENTER. What you are going to do is type the letter it shows you. In this small window it will show a text box and an image of a letter at the right. The main window will expand and at the bottom and will show words or phrases, and a small window will pop up. and in the new window that pops up, make sure you set Save as type: to Subripper (*.srt). Render should be set, and Unlink shouldn't be set. Now you will see a drop down list under the Reset timing button.įrom this list you will want to choose the language, usually it's 00 - English, which is what it's set to by default. Now run SubResync which got installed when you installed VobSub (Should be in the VobSub folder in the Start Menu).Ĭlick on the Open button and set the correct FPS in the drop down list to the bottom left of the Cancel button. Once you see the Frame Rate, that's the same thing as Frames Per Second (FPS), which you will need later on, so write it down (This piece of information is crucial). If it isn't one of those, then I guess you're screwed and that release sucks. This is usually one of the following values:. Then under Stream 0 (Which is the video stream) it displays the Frame Rate.

Once you have it open, go to View > Stream and Media Info. Once you have both installed, use VLC to open the first AVI. You need VLC Player to find out what the FPS (Frames Per Seconds) of the avi file/s are and also to test the outcome before burning. Oh, and don't let this somewhat lengthy document put you off, it's actually a lot easier than it may sound.įirst you will need to have access a program called "SubResync" which is part of "Vobsub" and also "VLC Player" SRT file can be edited using "Notepad" (but do not alter the times) If you find there are any errors after viewing with VLC Player, then the. IDX files) "But you can't edit those as you can with. (Since this was first written later versions of ConvertXtoDVD now recognise. IDX (Vobsub subtitles) and the program you are using to convert the AVI to DVD like ConvertXtoDVD for example, takes anything but those type of files. AVI movies which have been split into two parts, but again this will make sense as you go. SUB file.Īlso some of the text refers to. This is the text only version of the tutorial, so any reference to pictures etc will have to be guessed at.Īlthough, if you print this out first, then it may help when actually editing the.
