My exception window disappeared with this version.

Will test more in the next days.

EDIT: You basically take the Tesseract.exe + dictionaries from beta 4. If you take the dictionaries from best ( https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_best ) you must rename them to three letters as expected by SE.

Thanks for your prompt response Niske.

I've attached a comparison between SE Beta Version and SE 3.5.4 below.

It is clear to me (as expected) the lines that has been identified and OCR'd are almost 100% accurate.

I just want to ask about the lines that were not OCR'd at all and about the lines that are giving weird results like:
EEE ESE
CIN أصبح? BEI
CT O?
RENE?

I understand that it is up to me now to enhance the accuracy of OCR by improving the Training File, but I just want to understand the cause of those errors as they were not occurring in SE 3.5.4

I'm trying to "import/OCR subtitles from VOB/IFO (DVD)" but when I select the IFO file I'm given 2 framerate choices for importing - PAL (25fps) and NTSC (29.97fps). My DVD is 23.976fps. What should I do?

EDIT: never mind - I've got it figured out. It should be set to NTSC.

Hi, other thing is that on: File>export>vobsub/idx, program is not
remembering the value user set for "Bottom margin"

Thanks.

Hello Nikse555,

When rendering Blu-Ray SUP or Final Cut Pro PNG, a subtitle with only one line will display at the lower one of the two lines. Is it possible to change this and make it appear centered between the first and the second line?

i.e. current with 2 lines :

--- Subtitle with 2 lines
---
--- Subtitle with 2 lines

i.e. current with 1 line :

--- [Emty]
---
--- Subtitle with 1 line

i.e. wish with 1 line :

--- [Emty]
--- Subtitle with 1 line
--- [Emty]


I hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks.

If you remember, I told you before I had a crash with a srt file.

Now I can provide you a working example.

I can reproduce on 3.5.4 build 61.

1. open file
2. CTRL + SHIFT + H
3. APPLY
4. CTRL + SHIFT + F
5. APPLY
6. BOOM!

Same file works perfectly on 3.5.3 build 131.

It is. Will keep you informed if any crash will happen again.

I've got a problem with the tool function "split long lines"

It splits where it shouldn't.
I have this subtitle item for example

- Niemals. -Ich bin aus einem
einfachen Grund nicht mit Euch ...

look at the photo

each line has less than 40 chars, but SE splits it after "-Niemals." and removes the "-" too.

When I remove the simple dot, after "niemals" It works fine, because it doesn't split this item. Is this a bug of SE or I don't understand the logic behind the split-function?

This is a feature not a bug and it has been asked for many times in the past, see this thread....

[Matt Kirby]

Then it's useless for me...

[Boulder]

You are much better off creating a ticket at https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit, it's more likely to get a solution there.

[Ghitulescu]

I do not use it either...
Generally I do by hand those hundreds of text lines, no "beautifier" ever worked for me.

[Nikse555]

This one subtitle line:

- Niemals. -Ich bin aus einem
einfachen Grund nicht mit Euch ...

SE splits to two lines:

Niemals.


Ich bin aus einem einfachen
Grund nicht mit Euch ...

"-" is very common a start of a dialog where two different persons talk in the same subtitle line, like this:

- Hi Joe!
- Hi Jane!

So if this line is split to two, the "-" should be removed as only one person speaks in each line.


@Matt: I hope that explains the logic behind the split-function.
I'm not sure how the "-" is used in your subtitle...

[Matt Kirby]

Yes, it's used for a dialog here too, but I like it if another person starts that he get's his own "-" so I can see there's now the other person speaking.

But the other question is why does SE split it anyway? My split value is "max 40 chars per line". (and 90 for both lines) Here it is less and it splits.

should be ideally split like that:

- Niemals.
- Ich bin aus einem einfachen Grund nicht mit Euch ...

simply because the hyphen indicates that another person is speaking and the speech pattern for a different person belongs into a different line, for the sake of clarity of comprehension.

Hi, dear all.

I have captured a video stream, and saved the subtitles in a text file.

The subtitle stream is labelled Type 'html' and Cause 'xhr'.

The first three entries are:

<a href='#' begin="5.706" end="8.289"><span class='ts'>00:05</span> (music)</a>
<a href='#' begin="13.037" end="14.961"><span class='ts'>00:13</span> - A Swiss scientist</a>
<a href='#' begin="14.961" end="17.128"><span class='ts'>00:14</span> had a marvelous statement,</a>

Can anyone tell me how to convert this format to srt? Subtitle Edit can do it properly?


Thanks for your help.


Best regards.

Hi nikse,

I'm having trouble importing ASS styles which I earlier created with SE.

Is it possible that SE, when working with *.ass files, will auto-load evry ASS style I created? Must they be in a specific folder before start-up or something?

Much obliged,
cheers
