Recording or extracting subtitles

[GavinB]

Hi

 

I purchased DVBViewer yesterday with the idea of being able to exract and save the subtitles to a file from either Satellite of Digital. I can't see how to do this immediately and thing that maybe the GE version might allow it. But I don't seem to be able to use the GE program in English

 

Questions:

 

1) Can I record just the subtitles to a file?

 

2) If not, does anyone know of another program that would let me do this?

 

Thanks

 

Gavin

You should be able to record subtitles with the VRP (videorecorder plugin). This one allows you to select separate PIDs for recording. As format you must choose .ts (transport stream). The VRP works with both the GE and the Pro version.

is there a way to record without using the plugin? DVBViewer 3.0 recorded them and placed them in the capture folder. since i upgraded to 3.1, it doesnt do that any more...

not yet ... and pleas upgrade to 3.2 (3.1.2)

You said you could record them to the capture folder - what format would that be in. My main aim is to a file or files with readable text from the subtitles - still not quite sure how this is to be done.

 

Any ideas?

Try renaming the "Deutsch.lng" file in the "Language" subfolder of your GE directory to "Deutsch.lng#" or suchlike. That should give your GE an English UI. (After a restart, of course.)

You can use ProjectX to demux a Transport-Stream and extract teletext-subtitles from it.

Remember to select "Video/Audio/Teletext TS (*.ts)" as "Output format" in the "Recorder Control" window of DVBViewer GE

and/or select "Audio/VideoTS (.ts)" as output format in the "Recorder"-Tab and check the "+ Videotext"-Box in the "Channels"-Tab of the VideoRecorder-plugin for your recordings.

 

ProjectX offers a variety of different output formats for subtitles. IIRC all but *.SUP are text-based.

I haven't seen a lot of english documentation for ProjectX though. If google can't help you, feel free to ask.
