Announcing DVDSubEdit (new version 1.41 released 21 January 2007)

[jeanl]

Version 1.32 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...


This is mainly a bug-fix update, but a few annoying things have been fixed.

• Added slider to the retiming dialogs, and the preview shows the I-frame closest to target location for the current subpicture. The slider range can be changed in the preferences.
• You can now change the transparency of multipe pixels, and applly-to-all in just one shot (just like with color changes).
• Fixed the annoying interactions between "Ignore CLUT" and "Auto CLUT" check boxes.
• Cleaned up the way the "ShowVideo" check box behaves when loading VOBs and sups.
• The true bottom line detection is more reliable than before (hopefully!). Still not perfect.
• Added menu to open CoNS's hearing-impaired guide.
• If you cancel after changing the CLUT color, the original CLUT is now restored.
• Fixed a bug that was introduced in the previous version in the routine that detects brackets, which could cause good subtitles to be erased!
• Added a check to detect NTSC subpics in PAL video (that scenario previously crashed the app).
• Added a few error checks when loading subs, to avoid crashing when encountering malformed SPUs.

Also, don't forget to checkout CoNS's cool guide for changing subtitle colors!

As usual, thanks to CoNS for many additional tests, and many many suggestions for improvements.
Feedback is most welcome!
Enjoy...

Version 1.33 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...


This is a small update with a few bug fixes and a couple improvements.

• Added display of timing in the subpic info.
• Added ability to change the transparency or color in all DCSQT at the same time.
• Fixed a crash that could happen when removing hearing impaired text.
• Fixed a crash that could happen upon startup on Win ME and Win 98.
• Added a quick fix for the startup crash problem. Put a line in your ini file with NoSize=1 to avoid resizing the window on startup (which causes a crash).
• Fixed a problem in the timing info saved in .srt files, thanks mpucoder for the clarification.
• Cleaned up the GUI.

Enjoy...

Version 1.34 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...


This is a tiny update with a bug fixe and a one improvement.

• Pressing "Hide subpic" and applying to all didn't hide all subpics. This is now fixed.
• It's now possible to move subpics by odd numbers of pixels (imagine that!).

Enjoy...

Hi Jeanl,

Wow ... what a dummy-proof tool ... I have been playing around with your 1.37 version ... and I think after reading the various handy guides ... I am familiar enough to be "dangerous" ...

I am trying to correct the language on one of my Kung-Fu chiense dvds ... everything is fine except as you know subtitles on these movies are horrible ... so when I saw your tool ... wanted to see if I can do it ... I load up each VOB individually and then run the OCR on the stream selected (Eng for me). I can delete in OCR window just fine ... however, here is a problem and Q ...

Q1: Can I edit the Subtitle by "Typing in my own wording"? I am keeping it ot the same length ... I tried it in the OCR window and it would not take!?!?!

Q2: If not ... could you consider Adding this feature?

THANKS,
G!

Would be a great addition. Think you might need SubtitleCreator though.

Blu's right. While removing characters is easy, adding characters is much harder. There's the font, the shading etc. and also the space for it...
At this point, it's a no no...

Hi Blu & Jeanl,

Thanks for the feedback.

Version 1.38 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...

• Improved the DCSQT selection mechanism:
  . When selecting a DCSQT in a given subpic, the same DCSQT is selected (if it exists!) in all selected SPUs.
  . When making a modification to the transparency or color and applying to all (or to another SPU), the same DCSQT is modified as in the original, if it exists.
  If a given SPU does not have that DCSQT, it is not changed.
• Changing the transparency then pressing the Right or Left arrows prevented applying the modification to all. Now fixed.

Enjoy...
