Re: ATV2 and ATV3 drive me nuts...please help...micro stutte

I noticed the same thing. I have an ATV2 and a new model Samsung 46" LED-LCD from last year. I use the ATV2 preset on all my rips. I don't notice the stuttering on my iMac but I do on the ATV2. Usually if I stop paying attention to it while I'm watching a movie my brain will eventually forget ...

Re: Foreign Audio Search subtitles and MP4/M4V output

What other kind of dedicated OCR software can you feed VobSubs into? What I think I'll probably start doing is taking the Subler OCRd SRTs and compare them side by side to downloaded ones. That way I know I'm not missing any dialog, I can weed out the ads, and I can be sure of the timing.

Re: Possible GPL violation

How does this person not expect to be found out? Anyone keen on transcoding will invariably come across HB and so will immediately recognize the blatant rip-off. *shakes head*

Re: Newbie looking for some help

I poked around in the settings of BDSup2Sub and it looks like you're right. It ought to retain them. Not only that, it appears as though one can even set their own forced flag on individual lines within the .sub.

Re: Newbie looking for some help

I'm currently extracting the subtitles from an bluray MKV using mkvextract. I'm going to convert to .sub, merge, and then toss that file into Subler to hopefully extract a .srt that I can passthrough in HB. I *think* this ought to work. Next consideration: figuring out where forced subtitles fit int...

That did appear to do the trick!

Man, figuring out HB has been a lot easier with the use of these forums but Subler? Not so much. Thanks for your help with it.

Re: **Updated** Bluray Ripping & Encoding (A Total Mac Solut

It's a pretty nice companion app to HB for those of us playing with subtitles (as well as for getting metadata in there too). It's made a lot of what I need to do a lot easier.

Re: **Updated** Bluray Ripping & Encoding (A Total Mac Solut

Subler's File > Export should allow you to export individual tracks. MPEG-4 subtitles (what Subler outputs after the VobSub OCR conversion) are converted to SRT on export. I've got to say, thank you for all your help. Now, I realize that this is beyond the scope of your duties here (as Subler is no...

Re: Newbie looking for some help

If you don't care about subtitles, not much. If you do, quite a bit more in that you will have to use several applications (MakeMKV, of course, but also mkvextract - command-line only - BDSup2Sub and mkvmerge GUI) to extract, convert, and remux the subtitles before feeding your source to HandBrake....

I will look into Jubler. I know what you mean about the annoying advertisement for the srt sharing site. Would be nice to clip that out. Right now, I try to just use sites that don't do that. Does Jubler also do the addition/subtraction of other file tracks and metadata like Subler? Just looking at...

What you do,kind of depends on the level of perfection you are willing to settle on (are there levels of perfection? :lol: ). I have found it much quicker to find the srt files at various websites, download them, and use Subler (or HB) to mux them in. Some think the quality is not as "pretty&q...

Re: **Updated** Bluray Ripping & Encoding (A Total Mac Solut

I have to dig out my workflow from about a year ago but that sounds about right. You have to use some Windows tools to find forced subs, convert from PGS to SRT, then insert into the container (again, from memory). It's a PITA but you gotta do what you gotta do. I've been thinking about putting tog...

I remuxed a copy of Armageddon several times last night trying to find a method that would be palatable for my ATV and one did end up playing but I've now lost track of which workflow led to that output (go figure). I'm going to tinker some more today though and I'll pay cl...

Alright. Update. I apparently neglected to install Perian first. We're good to go now and it seems to be doing a great job barring one hiccup.

Re: Foreign Audio Search subtitles and MP4/M4V output

I tried what you suggested but when I go to save the file it just saves a version with an mp4 extension that isn't recognizable by anything and if I try to double click it, it just opens a blank window in Subler. Am I missing a step?

I'll give that a look-see. Sounds interesting. I've played with some subtitle OCR software before but found it exceedingly unreliable. Hopefully Subler has something going on there.

Re: Subtitles from Bluray are still not recognised

Totally looking forward to this potential implementation.

I'm fine even if they're burned-in. This isn't me [Censore...
