Re: [dvd::rip] subtitles in srt or sub format

[bnj <bnj.r@xxxxxx>]

Thank you so much! Now it works perfectly.
I really apreciated your patience.

Let me write a little summary for those who are interested:


 * Creating subtitles for a movie that is ripped using dvd::rip *
                   (http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/)


- Rip the DVD with dvd::rip making sure that you do not get the error 
message "Failed to copy the IFO files. vobsub creation won't work properly.
(Did you specify the mount point of your DVD drive in the Preferences?)
The error message is:
Failed to mount DVD at /media/dvdrecorder (mount: only root can mount 
/dev/dvdrecorder on /media/dvdrecorder)"
You might need to change the mount point in your preferences according 
to the current DVD for that.

- A good suggestion is to create a working directory for the rest of the 
work. For example, create a directory called "subtitlework" in the "tmp" 
directory of your dvd::rip project. cd to that directory.

- Type:
tccat -i /path/to/the/directory/containing/the/vob/files | tcextract -x 
ps1 -t vob -a 0x21 > subs-en

Where the directory with the vob files should contain _nothing_ but the 
vob files. It is very important. If there is anything else, temporarily 
remove it from this directory.
You will find more information about the parameter "0x21" on the page 
http://bunkus.org/dvdripping4linux/en/single/index.html#subtitles (in 
section 5.1.2), from which the rest of this summary is copied (*).

- Type:
subtitle2pgm -o english -c 255,0,255,255 < subs-en
It will create one image for each subtitle.

- Let gocr recognize the text:
pgm2txt english

- Create the srt file:
srttool -s -w < english.srtx > english.srt

- Play your movie with your favourite DivX player :)


(*) I summed it up here in order not to have a half-tutorial. But you 
will have more details if you really go to that page.
