VirtualBox would be the best route.

ok. thanks for the reply

on my linux mint 13 it works well with wine except for preview audio.
I'm not sure what dotnet version is installed in the prefix, but I quess its an up to date version since its my "experimental prefix"(i install and test things there first, and it breaks some times, becaus silly me is installing incompatible dll files and such^^).
not sure if wine is more work than seting up a virtual box on mac, but for linux wine is pretty comfortable.

Does anyone know Japanese subbed dramas that are easy to understand?

Nayugen has a rating system where users rate the difficulty level of various materials. The lowest rated dorama I've seen so far is Gokusen, with 5/10 (But I could only find Japanese subs for Season 3 - maybe you'll have better luck). And I hope quirky is your thing, because that chick is Zooey Deschanel on steroids.

Aside from Gokusen, dramas seem to be rated a lot more difficult than some other material reviewed on the site though, so perhaps they're not your best bet.

When I wrote that I didn't realize it had so many command line programs bundled. In any case it works great under CrossOver and is extremely fast too.

I can't get this running with Crossover 12. Can you give me any tips here?

Thanks

seaweedhead Wrote:I can't get this running with Crossover 12. Can you give me any tips here?

Let me know if this is too terse and I'll clarify the steps.

1. Click Configure -> Install Software ...
2. Install "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1"
3. Under Select which bottle to install choose "New winxp bottle..."
4. (Optional) Change the Bottle name to something like subs2srs

5. Click Configure -> Manage Bottles ...
6. Select your subs2srs bottle and click Advanced
7. Click "Open C: Drive in Finder"
8. Copy the sub2srs folder, which you download and unzip, into "Program Files"

9. Double-click subs2srs.exe which should be under Program Files/subs2srs

I can't get Japanese Support (Furigana) to work with subs2srs files :/

The files have been imported and work fine but lack any kana (This is difficult with accented voices, I need to be sure of what I'm hearing). I installed Japanese support and added at the back of the card template {{kana:Reading}}. I viewed the deck in Browse and selected all cards > Bulk Add Readings, but nothing comes up.

Any ideas?

*Edit* got it working, derp

First of all... THIS PROGRAM IS AWESOME. Is there a way to buy it or donate?
...


For people looking for subs: Kitsunekko has a fairly good collection of japanese anime subs.
If you can get a .mkv video with softsubs, use MKVToolNix to extract them.

Glad you like it. Those who want to donate can do so by clicking the Paypal link at the top of the subs2srs help page.

And now that you mention it, I should probably include some kind of interface to MKVToolNix in the tools menu to make it a bit easier for people to extract the subtitles from .mkv files.

Hi everyone,

I'm really eager to start using subs2srs. I always seem to have trouble using anki and anki plugins the first time around so some advice would be appreciated. If I find something I want to use for subs2srs how do I go about it? I read the help page but I did not find answers to all my questions there.

Do I need to download the drama or anime I want to use? Do I need to find a copy of the english script or will english subtitles be sufficient? I know I need the japanese script. Do I need to convert any or all of these files to different formats?

Thank you, any help would be appreciated!

ryanjmack Wrote:Do I need to download the drama or anime I want to use?

Yes.

ryanjmack Wrote:Do I need to find a copy of the english script or will english subtitles be sufficient? I know I need the japanese script.

subs2srs only works with subtitles.

Japanese subtitles for dramas can be found here:
http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/subtitles.php

Both English and Japanese subtitles for Anime can be found here:
http://kitsunekko.net/

ryanjmack Wrote:Do I need to convert any or all of these files to different formats?

With regard to video, subs2srs supports most formats so conversion will likely not be necessary. If you want to use a DVD, convert it to either .mp4 or .mkv with Handbrake.

With regard to subtitles, subs2srs supports these formats:
● Subrip (.srt)
● Advanced Substation Alpha (.ass, .ssa)
● Vobsub (.idx/.sub)
● Lyric (.lrc)
● Transcriber (.trs)

That was a quick reply thanks cb!

I can't wait to start using this!

*Bug Report*
(Not really a bug)
I had issues encoding so I replaced ffmpeg.exe* with the latest version. The issue seems to be fixed.

Thanks for the report. I'll try to get a new release out soon.

Hey cb,

I have one more question when you get a chance. I have a dvd I was going to use and the subtitles in japanese. Before I convert the the dvd in handbrake I wanted to double check on a few things.

The japanese subs I downloaded off kitsunekko start at 42 seconds. In the dvd however the talking starts immediately. Basically the dvd/audio starts seconds is 42 seconds before the script. Is there a simple way to just change the timing of the subs to match the video?

The downloaded video is 23m:35s long, but the script starts at 00:42s and ends at 24m:07s.
Even the second episode's subtitle scripts start at like 3:15s

Try checking the "Time Shift" option, and setting Subs1 to -42000 milliseconds. Use the Preview feature to fine-tune as needed.

Ok thanks. I know you've probably been asked these questions a million times, but for me things with anki and addons are usually rough going the first time around.. I appreciate the help. will be donating soon.

I have just released version 28.0 of subs2srs.

Download subs2srs v28.0 via SourceForge

What Changed?

● Added ability to extract subtitles from .mkv files. Simply enter a .mkv file into the Subs1 or Subs2 textbox and subs2srs will prompt you to select one of the .mkv file's subtitle tracks. subs2srs will then extract the subtitle track to a temporary file and place this temporarly file in the Subs1/Subs2 textbox.

● Added timing information to the preview.

● Upgraded ffmpeg to zeranoe ffmpeg-20130719-git-07704c6-win32-static.

● The audio preview no longer locks up the interface while extracting the audio from the video file.

● Other minor interface tweaks.

I have just released version 28.1 of subs2srs.

Download subs2srs v28.1 via SourceForge

What Changed?

● Added the MKV Extract Tool. This tool allows you to extract all subtitle and/or audio tracks from one or more .mkv files. It can be found in the Tools menu.

hi cb,
extracting subtitles from .mkv files is a great feature. makes it easy to obtain subs from anime that come with embedded subs only. thanks for that!

I was wondering why generating snapshots of 10-bit encoded anime took about a minute for a single screenshot, is there any way i could fix that? it used to take longer before i switched to a SSD.
ffmpeg uses up to 100% of my CPU (i5) in task manager when generating screenshots - and snapshot preview freezes subs2srs unless you deactivate it. my drivers and everything should be fine, running Win8 x64. this problem only occurs with 10-bit anime which is sad since most high quality shows use that nowadays.

Thanks for the report. I'll look into this during the weekend.

@keikei,

I tried to reproduce your issue using 10-bit encoded episodes from several different anime with no luck. Perhaps this issue is unique to Windows 8? Are any other Windows 8 users seeing this issue? Could also be an aggressive anti-virus software or something of that nature I suppose.
