Subripper Guide

Some people have suggested that Subripper would work better to rip subtitles than Subrip. So here's the how you do it:

Let's start with the configuration, shall we? You can set the OCR options here - for instance change the pixel width if keeps losing the spaces beetween words (decrease width) or if it makes a space beetween every letter (increase width). You also have to set the Framerate here: 23.976fps for NTSC and 25.fps for PAL movies. In the rare cases where you encode to 29.97 with deinterlacing choose 29.97fps here.

Basically you should turn on all the spelling correction stuff in order not to have to edit too much after ripping. Also choose the right language file corresponding to the stream you're about to extract (if the langauge exists that is).



Then in the Input tab you have to load all the vob files that the main movie contains in the right order (first file first). Then load the corresponding ifo file - need I say that it's generally the largest .ifo file on the DVD? After that go to Processing.

Press the start button which I managed to hide really well here. After a while the select color window will pop up. Usually selecting Color 1 will do but that depends on your movie. You can always abort and change the settings in the next try if you're not satisfied.

As Subripper is OCR based, too you'll have to teach it which image means what. After a while it should work without and more interference on your part.

When you're done save the output to a text file:

You can set which format you want it in so you don't even have to convert... Press the save as button to save the generated subs.

You can choose a whole load of different output formats so make sure you choose the right one.

You can also go to the Split tab and set an auto-split time. Or later on you can load some subtitles using the Load as button in the Load as tab, and add time offsets, stretching or change the subtitle duration and split the file and convert it to something else.
