Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : vobsub2srt Version : 2017.07.10 Upstream Author : Rüdiger Sonderfeld <ruedi...@c-plusplus.de> * URL : https://github.com/ruediger/VobSub2SRT * License : GPL3+ Programming Lang: C++ Description : converts vobsub (.idx/.sub) into .srt subtitles
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. vobsub2srt is a useful piece of software for converting DVD subtitles from an image-based format to a text-based format. To my knowledge, the Debian archive does not have an equivalent piece of software. If a team was interested in maintaining this software, the Debian Multimedia Maintainers <pkg-multimedia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> would be a logical team to do so. Thanks for your consideration. -m
