Subtitle Edit (open source subtitle editor)

[mstoll]

Hello Nikse,

I did write you an email some time ago, with about a little feature amelioration in the OCR phase.

When using SE OCR, sometimes it doesn't reconise some caracters. Then a windows open where you can correct these (see screenshot SE-1 & 2).
When corrected, the line appears yellow, but not always sometimes they are green like normal lines, like sometimes SE automatically put a line yellow, when it see's a error with I (l or L). That's OK.

It would be great, if you could implemente a new color, with the lines you have manually corrected, say blue or whatever color, so you would directly see after OCR is finished, I always do a manual do-over of the final result, and if these corrected lines had a different color, you would automatically these are OK, it would be a great time saving feature, if you use SE ripping vobsub files daily.
Hope you understand what I mean.

I would do it myself, having dabbled a bit with VS2005 in C# & VB.NET, I did have a quick look at the source code, but I cannot implement this, my dev still are too limited, and nearly 8 years having done no coding

Thanks

Hello Nikse,

I just charged the code of SE 3.4.6, and I'm looking how to change the line colors, like explained 2-3 posts ago.
But I can't seem to find it, find the 3 files "ColorChangeEventArgs.cs, ColorHandler.cs and ColorWheels.cs", but these 3 files having nothing to with the line colors. From what I understand in your comments, it have something to do with choosing colors, but not the color lines !!! Maybe I'm wrong.

If you could point me to the files where you have programmed when the OCR decide between green and yellow lines, that would be a great help.

Thanks

SE 3.4.9 is out now: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases

A huge number of minor fixes/improvements - especially regarding the waveform / spectrogram (thx jdpurcell)
See more in the change log: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/master/Changelog.txt

 

@mstoll: sorry about the late answer...there's some coloring code in VobSubOcr.cs - not too pretty though:

                if (wordsNotFound >= 3)
                    subtitleListView1.SetBackgroundColor(listViewIndex, Color.Red);
                if (wordsNotFound == 2)
                    subtitleListView1.SetBackgroundColor(listViewIndex, Color.Orange);
                else if (wordsNotFound == 1)
                    subtitleListView1.SetBackgroundColor(listViewIndex, Color.Yellow);
                else if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(line))
                    subtitleListView1.SetBackgroundColor(listViewIndex, Color.Orange);
                else
                    subtitleListView1.SetBackgroundColor(listViewIndex, Color.LightGreen);

Hi guys =)

I'm trying to work from windows XP. Before the installation of SE, the computer asks me to install .NET 4-4.6, but it's not compatible with XP, only vista and later.

Is there a previous version of SE which doesn't require this .NET Framework?

Many thanks =)

[Alice]

Microsoft ended support for Windows XP around March or April, 2014 if I recall, LittleDuck.

SE 3.3.15 should work.

Maybe some earlier versions of SE 3.4.x too-

[LittleDuck]

Thanks for the quick answer =)

Keep you posted

[quinnell]

Latest Net framework for Win XP was the 4.0.

dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe

Maybe it's enough for newer SE.

Subtitle Edit 3.5 out: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases

• Can now generate scene changes (via FFmpeg) + other scene changes improvements
• "Multiple replace" is now organized in groups
• Many new subtitle formats
• Many new shortcuts
• Many fixes, e.g. in "spell check, "auto-translate", and "compare".

 

@LittleDuck: WinXP should work with .net 4: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/p/dotnet4xp/ (Windows 10 is nice too)

[BorisVictor]

Thanks!
Where is the generate scene changes located? I can not find this.

[Nikse]

Hi Boris,

Yeah... good question. It's actually requires FFmpeg and you must point to the FFmpeg.exe in SE under Options -> Settings -> Waveform - Path to FFmpeg

After doing this you can generate scene changes via Video -> Import scene changes...

[Nikse]
