Hi Catbus, this looks like a wonderful project. Could I get the download link? I especially interested in both English and Indonesian subs.
I skimmed the thread and it looks like the subtitles are in SUP and SRT formats. Do you by any chance have the subs in a more VLC/SubtitleEdit friendly ASS/SSA format? And if not, have you considered working in it?
Thank you!
PM sent. As for formats, I try to keep content and formatting separate (like HTML and CSS). SRT is pretty much content-only, and formatting is applied programmatically to produce the formatted PGS/SUP files. This really helps when managing so many languages! So for that reason, a more advanced text format does not appeal to me – I would not use the advanced features anyway.
Keep in mind, I always recommend using PGS over SRT for playback, whenever possible, because of the formatting. PGS files are designed for disc, but they are definitely compatible with VLC. The only problem is that the media needs to be 16:9 (with black bars) for the subtitles to look correct. However, the newest version of Project Threepio contains utilities that allow you to modify the PGS files to work with cropped video.
