This seems like a great program but Japanese subtitles are so hard to come by. I've only seen them once. It would be too difficult to subtitle an entire show on my own. Is there a place I could find them?

Oh I don't have time to check now, but thanks for replying back cb4960. Later this week I'll get back on it.

Go here http://d-addicts.com/forum/torrents.php

and here http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/subtitles.php#Japanese for the Japanese subs. Scroll up and there are the English ones. Of course get RAW dorama's.
I'm not 100% sure but I think the ones extracted with ""Caption2Ass_mod1" may be exact J subs.

The subs from caption2ass are created from the closed captioning for the episode. The few that I have used were exact. However, in the US I've noticed that the CC don't always match up to what is being said, the dialogue is sometimes summarized. Haven't noticed this with Japanese subs though.

Hello,

I have just released version 20.0 of subs2srs.

Download subs2srs v20.0 via SourceForge

Simplified File Inputs
In previous versions of subs2srs the user had to create a separate directory for each set of subtitles, video files, and audio files and then provide these to subs2srs. This was good for batch processing, but it turned out to be a bit of a pain and was not entirely obvious.

The current version acts a bit more as one would expect and is designed to accept a single file for each category. See screenshot below:



Batch processing is still possible (and very easy) through the use of wildcard characters. There are two wildcard characters that you may use: “*” and “?”.
*    means match zero or more characters
?    means match exactly zero or one character

Here is an example screenshot showing wildcards:



The Extract Audio from Video dialog is now renamed the Extract Audio from Media dialog.

Added a Lyrics option to the Extract Audio from Media dialog (as per NukeMarine's suggestion).
The Lyrics are added to each generated .mp3's ID3 Lyrics tag. The lyrics are based off of subtitle files. The timestamps in the lyrics are relative to the start of the clip.

Here is screenshot showing the new option:



Added a Snapshot/Video Clip Dimensions Chooser.
When you click the “>” button, the following dialog will appear to help you choose the snapshot dimensions to use based on a percentage of the actual video size:



Added a settings file named settings.txt.
The settings file contains a variety of settings related to program defaults, output formats, and also contains a few hidden options whose use wasn’t quite widespread enough to put into the graphical user interface. Each setting is fairly well documented in the settings file itself. Also be sure to read the note about tokens at the top of the settings file. Many of the settings use these tokens. To get a better idea, here are the names of the current 34 settings:

default_enable_audio_clip_generation
default_enable_snapshots_generation
default_enable_video_clips_generation
default_audio_clip_bitrate
default_video_clip_video_bitrate
default_video_clip_audio_bitrate
default_context_num_leading
default_context_num_trailing
srs_tag_format
srs_sequence_marker_format
srs_audio_filename_prefix
audio_filename_format
audio_id3_artist
audio_id3_album
audio_id3_title
audio_id3_genre
srs_audio_filename_suffix
srs_snapshot_filename_prefix
snapshot_filename_format
srs_snapshot_filename_suffix
srs_video_filename_prefix
video_filename_format
srs_video_filename_suffix
extract_media_audio_filename_format
extract_media_lyrics_subs1_format
extract_media_lyrics_subs2_format
dueling_subtitle_filename_format
dueling_quick_ref_filename_format
dueling_quick_ref_subs1_format
dueling_quick_ref_subs2_format
video_player
video_player_args
fix_mismatched_lines
reencode_before_splitting_audio

Removed the Fix Mismatched Lines option from the Main Interface to reduce clutter. It is on by default.
To turn in off, edit the settings.txt file.

The video_player.txt file has been replaced by the settings.txt file.

The top, left, and right crop options were removed due to lack of use and to reduce clutter.

Changed many of the formats when generating filenames.
You may create your own formats with the settings.txt file.

Changed a few bitrate defaults and interface text and tooltips

Please let me know of any bugs that you may come across.

Great work as always.

So, let's see... I followed the detailed installation instructions that blackmacros and avparker so kindly wrote. And it starts nicely and all but when choosing the Video source the mono subs2srs crashes... here is the terminal log

Not sure if this is important but I placed the subs2srs folder with the executable inside the Progs folder. Also the Output folder is there. So, basically it's ffmpeg, Output and subs2srs inside the Progs folder which in turn is inside my Home folder...

I also kept X11 open the whole time...

By the way... Thank you for the great App! Well I did test it on Windows first but was too much hassle booting into it just for that... And Preview is not really a must so...

Snow Leopard 10.6.4
subs2srs v20.0

Just wanted to ask about the effectiveness for people using it. Obviously it's really hard for people at first maybe because there are so many words they don't know. By the end of finishing an entire episode do you feel more confident? What I'm trying to ask is do you feel it's a big hurdle at first but as your vocabulary and knowledge increases it goes faster and becomes more efficient? Obviously it's a great tool. I want to use this and slow down on Kore for a bit so I can focus on more conversational language. It's going slow though because I have to look almost everything up.

Then open up settings.txt, find the new path_to_ffmpeg_mono setting (it's at the bottom) and set it to the FULL path of the ffmpeg executable.

Thanks for the prompt reply but... this is what I get after entering that command...

$ path_to_ffmpeg_mono = /Users/shamanana/Progs/ffmpeg
-bash: path_to_ffmpeg_mono: command not found

O.o?

He said you should change that setting in the settings.txt file, not try to run it as a command line...

Ooops.... I am obviously clueless ^^;;; So, I did that and then I ran subs2srs...

Here is what I get... it does open up in X11 but...

$ mono /Users/shamanana/Progs/subs2srs/subs2srs.exe
X does not support your locale
Gtk not found (missing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0?), using built-in colorscheme

So, where did I s...w up now...

Hmm. There shouldn't be anything in the test build to cause that (I just added the new setting, honest).

Maybe try again?

Hello,

I have just released version 20.2 of subs2srs.

Download subs2srs v20.2 via SourceForge

Just bug fixes, nothing new.

* Fixed a bug in the Extract Audio from Media dialog that produced empty .mp3 files.

* ${sequence_num} and ${total_line_num} can now be used in the Extract Audio from Media dialog format settings. (thanks Nukemarine - I think you meant ${extract_media_audio_filename_format} not ${audio_filename_format}).

shamanana,

I created a new test version for Windows that will attempt to call ffmpeg in several different ways before returning an error.

You can download it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?y2a1318ys1vnn92

Please let me know if it works for you.

Thanks.

Thank you again!!!

And again!
