Looks like a very useful tool! Have you seen balloonguy's tool, Kage Shibari? (That's what I'm calling it till somebody stops me.)

http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?pid=98708#p98708 -- I mostly intend to use this for audio/e-books because I use Firefox and apparently there's some kind of video/html5 war where h.264 won't work in it. I just uninstalled Chrome because it was creeping me out...

Example video: http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?pid=97989#p97989

Edit: I couldn't get the AGTH page to work, got a direct link to their tool?

I haven't read all the posts about the project, but the demo video looks promising.

I found a direct link at this forum.

Asriel got the idea.

So this is more or less having somewhat "rikaichan availability" while watching subtitles?

If so, then this could potentially be very useful for something I was thinking of creating a while back...

Yep. Actually, the subtitles that appear on the screen capture come from an .ass file, which you can open with any text editor. The point is that using AGTH you can have the subtitles displayed as coppypasteable text at the same time they appear on the screen with the video. You could just open the subtitle file and search the line by yourself, but that would be too cumbersome.

Something I forgot to add (though I noted this at another thread recently) is that you can use KMPlayer's subtitle explorer:

Right click -> Subtitles -> Subtitle Explorer

Or you can just hit Alt+Q

Then you can scroll up or down, double click any line and the video will jump to that point.



At other thread someone mentioned using Aegisub for this, but this method is much simpler, and allows you to watch your videos in fullscreen and switch to the subtitle explorer, AGTH or your dictionary only when you need them.

Any advice on running AGTH on Linux? I'm able to run it, but it displays garbage when it hooks to VLC. Is there another method to capture subtitles from a video player into system buffer?
