Okay, I dump on bsky a fair bit... I mean no edit feature (still), it tends to really mangle images when recompressing them, it has an obnoxiously low character limit, it's not *actually* federated in any meaningful way, etc, etc... but today I uploaded a video and they now let you upload soft subtitles (vtt format), which is an awesome feature that I wish Mastodon/Fedi (and other platforms that let you share video) would adopt!

I finally got around to working on a VobSub parser for my subtitle editor. VobSub is the subtitle format you find on DVDs by the way.

It's a lot of fun to write these kind of parser, but unlike the PGS parser (Bluray format) I wrote, there is no official documentation for it, so I have basically been peeking at the parser code for SubtitleEdit.

The code is coming along nicely. It can now read and parse the 2048 byte data blocks.

FYI: Disney+ gains 17 audio languages, lifting reach to 42 subtitle markets: Six new interface languages and an Arabic-Hebrew right-to-left layout arrive as Disney courts localized advertising revenue across its 15 EU streaming markets. https://ppc.land/disney-gains-17-audio-languages-lifting-reach-to-42-subtitle-markets/ #DisneyPlus #Streaming #Localization #AudioLanguages #Subtitles

#TIL that #InternetArchive won't show #subtitles in .sub format, but you can easily convert to .srt format (which IS shown by IA) online at sites like https://subtitletools.com/convert-to-srt-online

My subtitle editor is now on PyPI.

https://pypi.org/project/subtle-gui/

It is very much in an alpha state, but I've used it quite a bit to convert Bluray subtitles to SRT (text) files for use with Plex. It requires MKVToolNix for reading media files, and Tesseract OCR for OCR scanning. These applications need to be callable from the command line. I plan to make this configurable later.

CW: New frontiers in AI generated subtitles. The Burbs episode 5 mild spoiler.

I often watch tv with subtitles on because I can't hear very well. Many shows use AI to generate them. It's often ok but regularly wrong and occasionally surreally wrong. This is from episode 5 of The Burbs.

AI: You have sodded a vice.

Actual: You have sedative eyes.

"Sodded a vice"?! AI is usually plausible whether right or wrong, but in what context would a human being ever say "sodded a vice"?
