    SUP to SRT ...Anyone?

    I Want to convert SUP to .SRT. SUbrip give me much trouble because the characters matrix "i" is a "l", etc...

    DVDSubEdit is very bad too... The final result its a switch of charcaters as well

    Anyone knows a good program?

    Thank you

    First convert sup to idx/sub using Subtitle Creator.
    Then OCR the sub file with Subrip or Subresync.


    You may also try Suprip(for direct sup to srt).

      Ok, first of all, thanks for reply.

      I try import the Sup file to subtlitle creator but the program says: Failed! Reading Closed caption failure!

      The same to SupRip.

      I´ve got the Sup here : megaupload.com/?d=P1J08FWW Can you please covert it to .srt, and explain me how you do that?

        No matter what program you use to OCR the subpics, it will always be confused by some letters (upper case i and lower case L is the best example). This is why you should run the Post-OCR process (in SubRip), that tries to locate that kind of problem and fix it automatically. Usually, I check also the file with a text editor that has a good dictionary, and I fix the remaining problems manually.

          I could import the SUP file in Subtitle Creator via Tools/Manipulate SUP or VobSub.Then I saved the file as Vobsub(.idx).
          Next I OCR-ed the .idx file with Subrip(took 4.5 min.),applied post OCR spelling correction and saved it as .srt.
          This file still had some errors in distinguishing i and l in italics.So I opened this in MS Word and did a spell check and finally had a proper file.

          So, as r0lz said, there is really no quick way to do this thing.

          Here is your .srt file:Ing.zip

            For English subs I've had good luck with DVDSubEdit

            Run the automatic OCR and export as SRT. Then with a text editor search for the underscore character '_'. Seems if it fails on a line, the line of "text" will look like
            "%@$___%/__" but there's almost always an underscore.

            Even with PGS subs if I first size down to 720x480 then export as ifo/sup, and feed to DVDSubEdit it works well. Sometimes I have to make a dozen edits manually. But very often it comes out clean.

              With Ricardo's file,I did start with DVDSUbedit. As always,it was lightning fast.But the resultant .srt file had too many OCR errors and would have needed very heavy editing.

                I tried the OCR where you type in the ones it can't figure out. I could never get through a session. No matter how many times I told it the character, it asked me for the same one again. Never learned. Guess I was doing something wrong.

                But sometimes you get unlucky with DVDSubEdit. It feels like I get about 90% success rate. If I do search and find more than 20 lines with underscores then I settle for idx/sub and just use that.
