Hi All,
the USF and matroska dev teams are proud to annouce, that finally the first alpha testing of tools to create, mux and play USF subtitles in/from MKV files are now being made available to the public. We encourage you to give it a shot, but also clearly give advice to not consider using these tools for final backups of your movies yet, as some minor things may still have to be changed with respect to how USF subs are best being stored in MKV files.
Here is what you need :
USF Editors :
ChronoSub
U96
Both are in pretty much alpha state still, but you will be surprised about the current status of support for SRT/SSA conversion into USF, as well as creating subs with advanced USF features already.
Muxers :
mkvmerge ( pre-release )
Currently only mmg/mkvmerge support muxing of USF subs, but AMG will hopefully soon offer it also.
Playback :
PixiShow
Haali Splitter
Based on pixifier, the Delphi lib for USF rendering, kaiousama created this great USF rendering DShow filter. Expect still a number of bugs in it, but its working pretty stable already on some machines here and no major issues have been reported with it from the dev team testing it.
Note that USF playback will only work correctly on DirectShow based players when both PixiShow and Haali's latest matroska splitter are being present on your system.
and now ....... Happy Testing !!!
