Subtitle Edit 4.0.4

[von Suppé]

Hi Nikse555

Did you read post# 149?

No more problem about time drift on the latest beta version.

[Nikse555]

@von Suppé: I think I found the bug - a threading issue that could cause two different bitmaps to write to same header... which is of course very very bad!
C# source code change is here: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/commit/61ebdd92ea28cb959d1fc8582e5c23c1fc09b50e
Test version here: http://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit.zip (.net 4, current source, portable version)

@mood: You can use ssa/ass for boxes in the main window

[von Suppé]

Nikse555. Will try test version.

Hi Nikse555,
I tried to open a Hd-dvd sup file but it didn't work ; is this format supposed to be supported by SE ?

[mariner]

Greetings.

The subtitle duration change tool seems to limit the amount to 1sec. Is there a way to get around this?

If not, would anyone be kind enough suggest alternatives? Something simple for srt subs would suffice.

Thank you and best regards.

@Music Fan: Sorry, I never got around to it...

@marianer: I've added a few more values: http://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit.zip (portable version, beta), or you could use percent or re-calculate durations using chars per sec

Thanks Nik.

It would be great if you could also include +10.

Many thanks for providing this extremely useful tool.

Do you believe you could add this format or you won't ?

[Betsy25]

The latest testversion from http://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit.zip gives the following error when being run on Windows 7 32bit.

--> Screenshot

I forgot to make a backup of the previous testversion, anyone know of a working recent testversion please ?

[Nikse555]

@mariner: np, added here: http://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit.zip

@Music Fan: I don't have any sample files - but it's probably not something that's very easy to add, but I don't mind taking a look if you think it will be useful (this format is probably dead, right?)

@Betsy25: Ups yes, try the above version.

Thanks Nik. +10 works fine.

Having a little trouble with BD sup creation. It seems PotPlayer/PDVD only displays the sup created using Simple Rendering, while MPC-BE doesn't not have such issue. Appreciate if you could look into it.

Finally, how does one play with the Alpha setting?

Many thanks and best regards.

PotPlayer works with 'normal' rendering too - if alpha is 255 (fully visible).

You can now change alpha in the color picker dialog

Thanks for the reply, Nik.

1. It appears "normally rendered" sups only work with PotPlayer if Shadow Width is set to 0. Alpha setting doesn't seem to have any effect. Another interesting observation: if fed into BDSup2Sub and saved without any changes, the new sup works.

2. The 3.3.15 seems to have problem retaining "960x540" video resolution setting. The XML output shows "640x272".

3. Is there a way for SubEdit to transform the following timecoed format into proper srt sub with a fixed duration?

00:00:02.000

Many thanks and best regards.

1) I'm pretty sure it's an alpha setting thing... and I'm also pretty sure that next version of PotPlayer will be able to play bdsup files with partly transparent shadow or box

2) What and how exactly?

3) Post or email a more complete file and I'll take a look.

Just a side remark - test the software against hardware players, otherwise you may end with a product that is custom-taylored to a player (in this case PotPlayer) that tomorrow may change.

Attached are three sup files:
0.sup has 0 shadow width and works with PorPlayer,
1.sup has SW=1 Alpha=255, and does not work,
1_exp.sup is processed by BDSup2Sub and works.

sup.zip

2) What and how exactly?

This is the setting for 960x540, and the XML shows 640x272.

Something like this, say for 10s duration.

Have not tested on a player yet.

SE has the unique ability to create sups with non standard video resolution. Want to make sure everything is in order.

I found another program (BDSup2Sub) able to convert Hd-dvd sup into BD Sup, so if it's not easy to add in SE, don't waste your time.

[Nikse555]

@mariner: Could you test this version: http://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit.zip (beta, portable version) - does the file format work + resolution? (if not, how to you get to the export bdn xml window?)
Notice that both "border" and "shadow" can have alpha adjusted.

@Music Fan: OK, I'll use my time for preparing SE 3.4 instead
