Interestingly, XBMC (which I still don't recommend for owners of the iPad 3 as it still lacks Retina support) can't render these bitmap subtitles at all. HERE's a screenshot of GoodPlayer rendering the English subtrack of the test video while using (at 1080p, uselessly slow) software decoding. Note that It's Playing and GoodPlayer, the other, otherwise, most recommended players, can't render bitmap subs at all / while hardware decoding, respectively. Therefore, I've played quite a bit with the, for hardware video playback with bitmap subtitles, two recommended media players for iOS, ProPlayer and AVPlayerHD. Therefore, consider OCR'ed textual subtracks as “fallback” ones when there's absolutely no way of displaying the original, bitmap subs. For example, with the Finnish subtitle track of Iron Sky, Subler has a tendency to make one word of two originals while recognizing – and, of course, “recognize” “ Ä” as “ A”. By the way, this is why the demo M4V video (again, it's HERE feel free to play with it, import it into iOS media players, check out its subtitle tracks etc.) has a pretty much messed-up OCR'ed Swedish track – unlike with Finnish and English, Subler couldn't use a Swedish dictionary when OCR'ing.Įven with languages that have their dictionaries will have problems. For example, it doesn't support several languages for example, Swedish. While Subler's OCR engine is great, it has problems. Again, you'll want to prefer these kinds of (original) subtitles (subs for short) to recognized (OCR'ed) subs. To help you choosing and configuring an iOS player capable of displaying bitmap subtitles, I've done some additional work. Unfortunately, BDSup2Sub can't export a series of plain images for further OCR'ing in a third-party app either. Unfortunately, this not only applies to the OCR mode, but also the plain image exporting mode (“ Save subpictures as BMP”) - the majority of the exported images will be just empty.Īll in all, you can't use SubRip to process BD subtitles in any way: neither OCR'ing nor image exporting work. An example run with the beginning of the English subtrack of Iron Sky, showing just garbage for an, otherwise, completely legal subtitle page: ![]() Unfortunately, about half of the frames will be completely skipped (unrecognized) by the app. Then, you can create a VobSub file more or less compatible with SubRip. If you, upon importing in BDSup2Sub, do downsize the individual images to PAL / NTSC by enabling the “ Convert Resolution” checkbox and selecting either PAL or NTSC resolution in the drop-down list (see the annotations below): This is not just an incompatiblity with OCR, but even the subpictures - that is, you can't just save the contents of the VobSub as a series of pictures, which, then, you could just import to, say, OmniPage Pro (or other, "serious" OCR apps) for character recognition. Unfortunately, the current (1.50b5) version of SubRip is completely incompatible with HD VobSubs - that is, not only the original S_HDMV/PGS subs, but even the (standard-format) output files of BDSup2Sub. For the test, I've used several BD discs, including Iron Sky and the international version of Red Cliff I. And I think that’s a great achievement.UPDATE (10 /03/2012): After having a long discussion on Subler's OCR'ing capabilities HERE, I've played a bit with SubRip to find out how it recognizes Blu-ray subtitles. Overall, Subler is the best solution to quickly embed subtitles in a Quicktime movie. Also, with this process you can avoid the conversion time of burning subtitles in the video with Quicktime or Perian: you can just use Subler to mux the. Whether you need to add soft subtitles, remove audio tracks and cut chapters Subler is just perfect. What’s so great about Subler is how easily it lets you edit stuff. It’s got tagChimp support, you can play around with the iTunes metadata (you can even add metadata unavailable in other apps, such as the HD tag) and it supports the following formats. (Wikipedia)īasically, Mux allows the creation of tx3g subtitle tracks compatible with most every Apple product out there, not to mention full Quicktime compatibility. For those who don’t know mux (from multiplexing), it’s a device that selects one of many analog or digital input signals and forwards the selected input into a single line. Hosted on Google Code, Subler (by Damiano Galassi) is an open source application for Mac OS X that enables you to mux.
