It's a much better guide. :) - axel Sun, 10 Jan 2010 10:22:00 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-1269 @buntu: I experience that the available plugins vary depending on which ocr-software that is available. If you have only tesseract, you might try to install gocr or ocrad. At least this made a difference to my SVN-compile. However, now it doesn't seem that the "no video" option is any longer available :/ - kjetilbmoe Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:40:36 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-865 Sorry buntu, I have no idea. If you try Avidemux you will see that at first you train the program and after a while it makes all the ocr automatically. It's good. ;) - axel Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:45:36 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-861 Thanks for posting the link. I'll give avidemux a try. Do you know if it's possible to use ocropus with either ogmrip or avidemux to perform the ocr processing? http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/ - buntu Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:35:57 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-860 Thank you for the info buntu! That's great! You can also try Avidemux for ripping the subtitles from a DVD. Here is a guide I wrote: [url=http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/167/26]How to extract DVD subtitles to .srt using Avidemux[/url] - axel Tue, 28 Jul 2009 22:01:37 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-859 It just got easier! The developer of ogmrip has kindly added support for encoding without video streams. Instead of having to pause the encoding at a certain point and copying the srt file from your temp directory you can simply select the subtitle stream and disable the video and audio streams. Steps to rip to srt file: 1. Download the latest ogmrip trunk. http://ogmrip.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ogmrip/trunk/ogmrip.tar.gz?view=tar 2. Compile and install. 3. Create a new profile. 4. Select mkv for the container. 5. Select "No video" for the video codec. 6. Select Vorbis for the audio codec (doesn't really matter which one). 7. Load the dvd in ogmrip and select the title to extract. 8. Select "no audio" for the audio stream. 9. Click extract to create a mkv file with a single subtitle stream. 10. Install mkvtoolnix sudo apt-get install mkvtoolnix 11. Go to the folder containing the mkv file and type the following: mkvextract tracks "NameOfFile.mkv" 1:"NameOfSubtitles.srt" That's it! Now if I could only get the dirac plugin to work it would be perfect. For some reason every plugin that I've tried to compile and install are always disabled by ogmrip on startup. :( - buntu Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:32:44 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-800 Thanks for mentioning this buntu. :) - axel Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:28:33 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-797 @All Ubuntu Users If you're trying to rip subtitles in Ubuntu with ogmrip it's important that you install the english tesseract package. For some reason the default language package for tesseract is german so anytime you install tesseract-ocr it will also install tesseract-ocr-deu. In order to rip English subtitles with ogmrip install the following packages. sudo apt-get install ogmrip tesseract-ocr-eng - buntu Wed, 24 Jun 2009 06:26:17 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-622 I haven't tried training tesseract MK, but it's good to know that you have almost succesfully achieved it. Since tesseract is still being developed I believe it's a matter of time till it becomes a good OCR utility. :) - axel Mon, 20 Apr 2009 22:42:22 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-620 The issue of OCR is the one of tesseract used by OGMRIP - tesseract is not as good as the commercial OCR sw, but seems to be a better of those FOSS ones. The issue with tesseract is that one needs to "teach" it first, which is a tedious process (see google for wiki on training tesseract). A person with scripting abilities can partially automate this. I was able to train it for Czech characters (not even officially supported by tesseract) for DVD vobsub ripping and the major problem was that occasionally few words have not been separated by spaces. Otherwise, good work. - MK Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:12:00 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux-dvd-video/129-how-to-rip-dvd-subtitles-to-srt-in-linux#comment-473 Not to be rude but did you actually try this using English? I recently experimented with ogmrip (ver. 10 & 11 on an older computer and a recent snv on a laptop) in many cases the subtitles could best be described as gibberish. This doesn't seem to be an isolated incident as I found other complaints concerning ogmrip subtitles on the web and in the sourceforge forums of the project itself. As a free project (especially in an alpha stage), ogmrip seems to be fine as multimedia converter but the subtitling just seems extremely poor, especially compared to other projects like Handbrake or even AcidRip). Finally, it just appears reckless to recommend this project for its subtitling ability. - Did you try this in English? Fri, 13 Feb 2009 20:15:48 +0100
