vobsub2srt 🌈

okay bestie, welcome to the vobsub2srt(1) page from the General Commands Manual — manual name folded in near the top like a cute little name tag, no boring header copy-paste here. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

vobsub2srt — converts vobsub (.idx/.sub) into .srt subtitles.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vobsub2srt [OPTION] FILENAME

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

vobsub2srt converts subtitles in vobsub (.idx/.sub) format into the .srt format. VobSub subtitles contain images and srt is a text format. OCR is used to extract the text from the subtitles. vobsub2srt uses tesseract for OCR and is based on code from the MPlayer project. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • FILENAME — File name of the subtitles WITHOUT the .idx or .sub extension. The .srt subtitles are written to a file called FILENAME.srt.
  • --dump-images — Dump the subtitles as images (format FILENAME-NUMBER.pgm in PGM format).
  • --verbose — Print more information about the file (e.g. subtitle languages).
  • --lang language — Select the language of the subtitle (two letter ISO 639-1 code e.g. en for English or de for German). Use --langlist to see the languages in the subtitle file.
  • --langlist — List languages and exit.
  • --index index — The index of the subtitle to convert. Use this instead --lang if there are several streams with the same language. Combining --lang and --index does not work!
  • --ifo ifo-file — To use a specific IFO file. Default: FILENAME.IFO is tried. IFO file is optional!
  • --tesseract-lang language — Set the language to be used by tesseract. This is auto detected and normally does not have to be changed. If however you need special language settings (e.g., deu-frak, chi_sim, chi_tra) use this option.
  • --tesseract-data path — Set path to tesseract-data.
  • --blacklist blacklist — Blacklist characters for OCR (e.g. |\/`_~<>).

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

$ vobsub2srt --lang en foobar

$ vobsub2srt --lang zh --tesseract-lang chi_sim foobar

Converts the chinese language subtitles using simplified chinese (chi_sim) characters.
