subs2srs just told me to fix the line with the video-file, I do not remember the exact error message.

EDIT: Just redid the process and I get: "please correct the error on this form"

HerrPetersen Wrote:Right now I am using subs2srs quiet a lot in order to build a database. Most of the time it works great. However I ran into another problem in one specific file:

It is an .avi file with ac3 encoded audio. subs2srs says something like "make sure audio stream is not drm-protected".
I used a program to convert the ac3 to mp3, but when using subs2srs, audio vs subs are not in synch, however when playing the vid with a player the subs are in synch.

EDIT: the problem with the AC3 sound happended on one more occasion kinda strange, because I already used an earlier version of subs2srs for exactly this movie file.

Nukemarine Wrote:I'm wondering if how it breaks audio up into smaller segments can be improved.

Currently the file name is pretty long. However, to be of use in iPod devices one would need to manually go into each property and change the "song title". If one doesn't do that, then I think iPods will ignore files with the same song time.

It's this reason I'm currently using subs2srs to rip audio from the videos (works great with bulk projects), but then individually I have to use Audacity to split up the audio. Audacity copies over the Artist, Album title and Genre info from the larger file then adds a " - xx" to both the file name and "song title". This process is fairly tedious.

More to the point: When subs2srs splits an audio file, can it not only name the splits but also fill in the song properties based on sequences instead of time.

Say we have a main video with file names "Around 40 ep 01.avi" through "Around 40 ep 10.avi". Subs2srs already asks what the naming would be. In this example I'd put "Around 40" with the sequence starting at 01. So based on that it'll automatically do the following.

Artist: "Around 40" (all files will have this be the same).

Album: "Around 40-05"; This should match the large video file name, sequentially numbered for each video being ripped. So number five file name should be "Around 40-05.mp3" (all split files of the same episode should have this be the same in properties)

Title: "Around 40-08-12"; This should match the split audio file name, sequentially numbered for each portion being split. So the file name of this split audio should be "Around 40-08-12" which is the 8th video being ripped, and the 12th file split.

Nukemarine Wrote:Current behavior - I didn't realize that it fills in the song properties. I recall it not doing that last year, so if that was changed I was not aware of it. Let me give it a shot and try it out on my iTouch. I'll reply with results.

Answer to Q1: I'm going off old experience with mine, but I think iPods can handle long file names. However, it will scroll the entire name back and forth, so longer file names will move more.

Answer to Q2: Seems ok. Yeah, I'm asking more from an aesthetic viewpoint to not have time markers on split files. When using it for sentences it's very important, but files normally split up in 5 minute segments there's little reason for use.

So yeah, I'm giving a "looks more pleasing to the eye" request about not having the time markers.

Nukemarine Wrote:CB4960,

Here's an odd request, though I don't know if it'll be popular but it sounds useful: Using a subtitle file, put the lines for the split audio in the lyrics portion of the file properties.

I think to help the best, it would be in the .lrc format where the start time only is in brackets followed by the line.

Example: Zettai Kareshi ep 01. I use subs2srs to split the audio into 5 min 00 sec files. It asks if I want to use a subtitle file to fill in the lyrics. If all goes well, I'll have

Artist: Zettai Kareshi
Album: Zettai Kareshi_001
File: Zettai Kareshi_001_001
Genre: Speech
Lyrics:
[00:03.50] 昔　これを　何て読んでいたか知ってるか？
[00:08.50] 「いとし」ではないのですか？
[00:11.50] 平安文学では　「かなし」と読ませていたそうだ。

[04:48.48] あなたの人生　変えてみませんか？
[04:52.51] えっ？
[04:57.48] 「ＫＲＯＮＯＳ　ＨＥＡＶＥＮ」？

I've been doing this manually and find it useful. It's just too tedious to do it with split audio manually for many files.

HerrPetersen Wrote:Hi cb, updated to 19.3. The stuff with the ac3 got sorted out, some of them still give an error during the encoding, but it is all good, since I do not have to harvest everything I got on my harddrive.

However I ran into another problem. Hope I do not get on your nerves.

I just followed the instructions in this http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?tid=5665&page=1 thread, to time some podcasts hence creating lrc-files. I made sure they are pretty accurate by playing them in an external player.

Here is the issue I have: The timing is off in subs2srs (subs2srs always starts the first line at the very beginning of the file, even though the first entry is at 5+ seconds into the .mp3-file) EDIT: worked around via 5000 pre-time shift and 50, 5250 pad-timing.

XiaoJu Wrote:Hi,

I'm trying to use sub2srs (on windows xp, input MP3 file + chinese subs .lrc). But the MP3 clips I get are not cut a the right times!
Any idea what can be wrong in my setup?
(the subs are correct, I tried with some I made by myself with MiniLyrics, and another made by HerrPetersen, in both cases same problem in sub2srs).
Looking into the output files, the anki media folder, the first mp3 cannot be read (by Classic Media Player Home Cinema or Windows Media Player), the second mp3 is readable but not the right timing.

Also, my sub2srs windows is too small (I need to scroll horizontally/vertically to access all fields). Is this a known bug?

This is what it says in Terminal:


** (/Applications/subs2srs.exe:1253): WARNING **: Could not load file or assembly 'taglib-sharp, Version=2.0.3.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db62eba44689b5b0' or one of its dependencies.

The error message that pops up is longer - I'm not able to copy paste the text for that. I took a snapshot but I'm cluless as to how to load that on here. Sorry I don't know how to put it on a web page (that's what "BBCode" say to do but I'm cluless/noob).

Last time I used the program things worked just fine. ???
