gsr (Gtk SubRipper) Readme ------------------------------------------- gsr is an application for extracting text subtitles from dvd vob files. They are stored in the mpeg stream as subpictures, containing rle encoded data, and therefore cannot be used without conversion. gsr uses a simple ocr technique to separate letters and after interactively building a matrix of all seen letters, it can write a text file with the subtitles. gsr is a port of the windows application SubRipper, which was written in Delphi, and made freely available on the Internet. I used version 0.43 sources from http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Sources/subripper043src.zip. Thanks to the people who made it, though I don't know who they are. gsr is written in pure C with the GTK+ toolkit, version 2.0.6. To build it, follow the standard procedure: ./configure make make install (as root) ------------------------------------------- Georgi Hristov September 2002
