Subtitle Edit (open source subtitle editor)

[Kosire]

Best subtitle editor program on the web. Simple as that.

Tons of formats supported, makes OCR really easy, can remove hearing impaired text, portable and it's open source.

 

Also, the best GUI I've seen of all the subtitle editors I've tried. Clean, simple and efficient.

And as a bonus, you are danish. Now that made me proud!

 

Keep up the fantastic work. Only features I can think of would be something like CCExtractor that can extract closed captions from iTunes .m4v files. That would keep my workflow down by using one less program!

Another feature would be if I was able to mass edit a bunch of subtitles files at once. Like, remove hearing impaired lines from a whole season of .srt files.

Hi Kosire!

 

I'm glad you like SE

 

The new "Tools -> Batch convert" do have some of the features you need, like "Remove text for HI".

About the .m4v files - what happens if you use File -> Open... in SE?

Woah, it worked! Nice!

It loads the subtitle in, and then a popup window with this:

 

 

 

It loaded almost all the subtitles. CCExtractor extracted these subtitles at the end after the line "Huh?"

00:42:26,578 --> 00:42:28,611
Huh?

1124
00:42:28,613 --> 00:42:30,313
Jules?
- What?

1125
00:42:34,251 --> 00:42:36,019
- ? I know you know

1126
00:42:36,021 --> 00:42:38,087
? that I'm not telling
the truth ?

1127
00:42:38,089 --> 00:42:39,689
? I know you know

1128
00:42:39,691 --> 00:42:41,157
? they just don't have
any proof ?

1129
00:42:41,159 --> 00:42:42,892
? embrace the deception

1130
00:42:42,894 --> 00:42:44,327
? learn how to bend

1131
00:42:44,329 --> 00:42:45,962
? your worst inhibitions

1132
00:42:45,964 --> 00:42:48,331
? tend to psych you out
in the end ?

1133
00:42:48,333 --> 00:42:52,101
? I know you know

1134
00:42:52,103 --> 00:42:54,304
? I know you know

 

 

As you can see, Subtitle Edit didn't get the last lines and it doesn't seem to parse italic lines like CCExtractor does.

An updated version of the Croatian language file sent.

hi ... i have a problem with SE ....

when i try to extract the wave form of a movie ... some times i encounter with this error : This

 

and sometimes it's extracted but part of movie .... not full movie .... for example a movie with ( 90 min ) is extracted just 30 min !

once you told about this ... but that was for old version and i haven't completly understood ( beacause i am an Iranian user and there are some problem here with my knowledge about English language ) i want you to explain me how to fix this problem step by step please .... and i am a normal user not a programmer

 

when i used this program i realy liked that and i tried to solve this problem but i coudn't ....... i've downloaded 3 version and no one worked............

i' downloaded a wav convertor too ... and that didn't work too

i have 3.3.9 now and i realy dont want to choose any other software for sub editing  ..... plz help me  .... !

 

i will be thank you if you answer me sooner , becuase i nedd to fix it till Tomorrow

i am waiting ...

[Nikse]

Hi punisherhadi!

 

SE uses VLC to extract the audio, so it's important that you have a recent version, like the current 2.1.1 - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

 

The temporary extracted large wave file extracted by VLC can get very... large. So it's best to have 10+ GB free on your C-drive (or wherever you temp folder is)! You can check the disk-space while the wave file is being extracted.

 

Last option: Use the VLC interface to extract the audio as a .wav file, then drag'n'drop this .wav file onto the waveform window in SE.

 

Hope it works for you

[punisherhadi]

It Worked... thank you very very very much
i had VLC and the problem was the free space in my drive C ....
that problem had driven me insane and now that it's fixed i'm calm .

( and a little explain about my user name that i thought made you surprised because of that exclamation mark after it :D
i am not that rude like my name ... that name is because of when i was a kid i loved punisher game and choosed this user name , and since then i carry this name )

at the end i want to thank you again for helping me       and a question .... did you really create this program ? because it's very good and useful and i suggest it to everyone for subtitle editing
