How to rip subtitles from VCD (.dat file)

[VietSon]

Hello!
Please tell me How to rip subtitles from VCD (.dat file) ?

Thank you!

[VietSon]

Please help?

VCD's only support hard coded subs, therefor you can't "rip" them. Only way would be to OCR them using something like SubRip.

[VietSon]

Oh, its really bad. I have many VCDs with subtitles on them.

[VietSon]

What you'll say, if make a try to convert the *.dat -> *.mpeg ?

[celtic_druid]

A dat is just an mpg with a riff/cdxa header. Removing the header and renaming back to mpg doesn't change the fact that the subs are hard coded.

Thank you!

Use Subtitle workshop , there is a small learning curve though for what you are trying to do.

Pls no PM's, no direct mailing, whats the use of forums then.

Extract dat to mpg, frameserve with subs to TMPGEnc, encode, author and burn.

[jimgerakaris]

[jimgerakaris]

As I already said. VCD specs don't allow for subs, so they have to be hard encoded. So you need to re-encode as per above.
