DVD sub ripping

[Dawg]

Can anyone point me to a good dvd subtitle/Closed caption ripper?

Thanks

Try Subrip, it seems to be universally poular - once you get the hang of it, it's a dream.

There's a decent guide, here:

The afterdawn site is a good source of all kinds of information and help.

Cheers,

Also, I recently found CCExtractor - brilliant bit of gear.

I believe I have tried that one and have wound up with a blank file every time.

That's odd: I get a perfect file every time - once I learned the trick of entering multiple VOBs in correct order. (That way, the lines of the transcript were also in the correct order!)

Subtitle Edit can rip subtitles from a decrypted dvd and do ocr (can also ocr VobSub files).

If it's English subtitles, then OCR via Tesseract should work very well (works best on a fast computer with lots of ram).
OCR via Microsoft Office OCR component is not as good as Tesseract.
SEs Image compare OCR should work with all languages, but SubRip still works a bit better...
