DIY subtitles

[nobby]

My dad is deaf, I have some stuff my dad wants to watch but he can't hear it, soooo I was wondering, which is the best DIY subtitle program/easiest to use?

Do Americans have Teletext or any similar service?

Well, if you can find movies in DIVX format there is allways VOBSUB to merge it into the movie. There's quite a few websites that have english subtitles for movies and series in .srt format.

Most dvd players that play Mpeg4 or divx also automaticaly include the .srt file as subtitles when it has the exact same name as the divx file.

Lodar do you even know what Gort means?

And if you do could you tell me because I'm really not sure myself. Plus what I said was a joke.

I'm deaf.

The American type of subtitling television (and VCR tapes) is called closed captioning.

For something like computer video clips, I'm pretty sure you have to get the text file of the subtitling and attach it to the file. If you want to do it yourself (listen and transcribe the dialogue) you're pretty much on your own.


This is why I've been waiting forever for a decent speech-to-text computer program. Be fucking awesome to just run it at the same time as a video, and read it out at the same time or later.


edit - oh, and when you're fiddling with the T.V, it's CC1 under the captioning option in the menu. Sometimes the captioning option is hidden away in the display menu. Very annoying. Also, watch out for CC2, since it is for spanish, I think.
