@cb4960 How come you rarely, if ever update your software? j/k I saw the "v22" and thought I had misread the link. 22 updates... my hat is off to you good sir!

I have just released version 22.0 of subs2srs.
Download subs2srs v22.0 via SourceForge
What Changed?
+ Added Transcriber (.trs) support. (Thanks nest0r - better late than never, right).
+ Added support for non-MP3 formats (.ogg, .aac, etc.) in the Audio... field of the main
interface.
+ Added option to choose which encoding to use for Subs1 and Subs2. See the Encoding tab
of the Advanced Subtitle Options dialog. You can also set the encoding in the Extract Audio
from Media tool and the Dueling Subtitles tool. Also added a default encoding setting in
settings.txt.

Thanks!

Interesting! Is there any way to encode to iphone friendly video format? I would love to see that in a future release!

Nestor could you paste a screenshot of what the cards look like using Transcriber files, please. I'm just trying to visualize the difference.

Even at 1080 resolution, it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes on a somewhat modern computer.
Is the video file on a DVD or external hard drive or a network? If so, move the video file to your internal hard drive first.
If that's not the case, what codec does the video file use? What are your system specs?
The file is on my internal hard drive. Like I said, with Clannad it did run okay.
The thing is, I really don't understand anything about codecs and such, so I'll just go ahead and post the information MediaInfo shows me:

I'm just trying to visualize the difference.They look like any other card generated in subs2srs with Japanese text + audio. ^_^ They just happened to be timed using Transcriber. Transcriber w/ its .trs files is sort of like MiniLyrics Editor w/ its .lrc files, but I find that I considerably prefer the former, as it's designed purely for transcription and annotation. So when you have audio and text you can listen and add timestamps and then use it with balloonguy's tool Kage Shibari for interactive audiobooks (if your audio and text was an audiobook + text) or, now, turn it into an Anki deck. (Or both.)
I hope eventually we'll have a whole corpus of interactive audiotexts.

@Oniichan,
If you include .1 releases, it's more like 43 updates (but who's counting?

@rigol,
Thanks for the info. Probably nothing that I can do, but I'll look into it.
nest0r Wrote:Just noticed the speaker name doesn't matter, at least for Kage Shibari. Although perhaps in the future I can imagine using the filters to select lines by particular speakers. I like the idea of having ‘turns’, as well, for conversations. Seems like there are production/discursive possibilities I hadn't thought of...Currently, subs2srs ignores the speaker. Shouldn't be hard to add it to the actors list though. I'll put it on the TODO list.

Take your time.
It's going to take me a little while to cultivate .trs materials, methinks. I think I might also play around with ways of combining JNovelF with KageS.Thanks again.

Probably Mpeg4\MP4. I tried .avi and had no luck. I'm not sure if you can play videos on the iphone anyway (in Anki, I mean).

I should know this since most of my media decks are video clips and I've had AnkiMobile for a little while now, but I haven't really used it yet (nothing to do with the program). I see on the page: http://ankisrs.net/docs/AnkiMobile.html#_media that it supports ‘embedding mp4 videos’, not sure what that means and we better not talk about it till we have more certain information to use assertively for a specific purpose, to avoid the red text in our comments that reminds us this isn't an Anki support forum. ;p
Of course I've never used Anki's ‘forum’, I hate those Google Groups/Yahoo Groups type sites. ^_^

I made a test build that (hopefully) outputs iPod/AnkiMobile compatible .mp4 video files.

Since I don't have an iPod myself, I'm asking for a volunteer to help test with AnkiMobile.
Thanks.

I hope this is low priority so I can take my sweet time volunteering, as I'm too lazy at the moment to create a deck and add it to AnkiMobile. Can you write a program that makes walking several feet and clicking stuff easier?
I volunteer Cranks since they raised the issue.

The video plays but not the audio.
I guess it requires a different encoding? Perhaps AAC?
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html
“MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.”

Alright, 0.5 way there! (iPods sure seem picky though).

Hopefully it's just an iPod limitation and not an AnkiMobile one.

OK, let's try that again, this time with AAC:

For my reference:
About AAC:
I couldn't find any pre-compiled Windows versions of ffmpeg that included libfaac. Some kind of legal issues. I used ffmpeg's internal AAC encoder. It's supposed to be in it's "experimental" stage, but it sounds fine to me (though I'm not one of those sick audiophiles).
This is what I'm passing to ffmpeg:
-y -i "INPUT_VIDEO.mkv" -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -vcodec libx264 -fpre "/path/to/ffmpeg/presets/libx264-superfast.ffpreset" -fpre "/path/to/ffmpeg/presets/libx264-ipod640.ffpreset" -s 368x240 -b 600k -strict experimental -acodec aac -ab 128k -ss 00:01:52.270 -t 00:24:15.920 -vf crop=368:240:0:0 -threads 0 "OUTPUT_VIDEO.mp4"

Awesome. And I just found this exchange: http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?pid=112619#pid112619 - Now that I got my memory back of pining for video support in AnkiMobile, I'm even more grateful to you and resolve. Guess I've got no excuses now. I can't think of a single tool or resource I lack. Damn it.
Oh and the videos looked nice in both portrait and landscape mode, so that's cool.

By the way, have you thought any more about integrating OCR with the vobsubs here? It could be a kind of secondary area (since there'd be occasional errors, users could have the usual vobsub expression field + the OCR'd one to compare). Seems like the possibility is there since there's a high level of consistency in terms of size and whatnot.
Anyway, just something to keep in mind. ;p

I'll play with it a little more one of these days.

Edit: For now you can always use Capture2Text to help look up the occasional word that you don't know. I've been using it mostly for manga and visual novels. It's not perfect, but after a while you get a feel for what it will OCR correctly and what it won't. For example, for vertical text, it hates 言.

I don't know how you managed to go back in time and have me write that comment and download the program without realizing it, but well played.
I could see editing the resulting .srt and merging it as a secondary expression field in the .tsv file subs2srs produces.
Edit: By the way, I'm assuming that the colour picker in vobsub2text is actually asking the user to open the .sub in SubResync with ‘render’ checked, and use that preview to tell v2txt the colours used in a given .sub file before OCRing it? Or is it actually changing the vobsub images to reflect what the user tells it?
Edit 2: n/m I just checked a .png and I see it actually changes it (which I guess makes more sense ;p). So do you feel there's a superior optimization? Do the colours of the original impact the new colours?
I mean, black text on white background, is, I think, a given. What I'm curious about is the outlines and anti-alias, as well as whether the image manipulation works better/worse with changing certain original colours/transparency to certain new ones.
Also, how does the Scale option function? Is it resizing the images and the option lets you keep it within limits to prevent distortion?
Edit 3: Oh right, seeing Nukemarine's post in the above link, I see you can just use the Subs 2 slot for the secondary Japanese .srt. Although then if we have English subtitles they're still left out. But with text glossing that shouldn't be a huge deal. Or perhaps one can merge the secondary Japanese .srt and the English .srt as dueling subtitles, then use that as Subs 2.

As you've guessed, vobsub2text was the program I wrote to experiment with OCR'ing vobsubs.
nest0r Wrote:So do you feel there's a superior optimization? Do the colours of the original impact the new colours?Right, the color selected by the user substitutes for the original vobsub color. That's one of the things I was experimenting with. I got sidetracked though and never established anything conclusive.
Another thing I could experiment with is thickness/boldness of the text (without doing a little research, I'm not exactly sure how I would do this easily - maybe ImageMagick has some filter I could use). The OCR tools seem to prefer thinner text over thicker text/more bold text.
nest0r Wrote:Also, how does the Scale option function? Is it resizing the images and the option lets you keep it within limits to prevent distortion?The Scale option resizes the vobsub image before sending it to the OCR tool. A scale of 1.0 means use the original size. A scale of 2.0 means double the vobsub image size. For Capture2Text, I found that a scale of 4.0 worked best for normal-sized text. Vobsubs are usually fairly large, so a smaller scale might work better.

Or perhaps one can merge the secondary Japanese .srt and the English .srt as dueling subtitles, then use that as Subs 2.If/when I ever integrate this into subs2srs, I would output both the images and the OCR'd text allowing the user to fallback to the image on occasions when the OCR messed up.
Currently, vobsub2text uses nhOCR as the OCR tool. As mentioned in my above post, I wanted to experiment with the Tesseract OCR tool. Both have their advantages as disadvantages. When using Capture2Text, I almost always use nhOCR because Tesseract won't even attempt to OCR unless the capture contain enough characters. Most lines from vobsubs are probably long enough though. If I find Tesseract to be generally superior, I can always fallback to nhOCR if the line is too short.
Also, I wonder how well Tesseract would work for English subtitles. If it can't even handle those with a great amount of accuracy, Japanese might be out of the question (though, for non-vobsub usage, I've found Tesseract's English OCR to be quite good - nhOCR is quite the opposite). OK enough rambling...
