Sometimes, people will come the needs the extract SRT subtitles from DVD just the the following condition:
' I've used HandBrake, Subler, VideoMonkey, and RipIt. I'm familiar with mencoder. None of them seem to be able to rip the subtitles from a DVD and then get the soft subtitles to the iPad.'
'I'm using Handbrake to encode my DVDs but there is no feature to convert subtitles to .srt format. What's the best software I can use? I've already tried Subrip and it's not doing such a great job... spacing is all messed up for ex. 'This isthe subtitle and Ihate it'. That happens a lot.'
Meanwhile, the subtitle in a Blu-ray or DVD is actually an image instead of tests, and the program needs to scan the images and then extract the text. Well, with DVDFab, we are able to rip all kinds of copy-protected Bluray and DVDs and extract subtitles into sub/idx/srt file. This is an outstanding tool for directly editing DVD subtitles. I wish people would stop complaining that they wish the developer would expand it to edit Blu-ray subs. Blu-ray videos and subtitles are encoded using completely different formats from DVDs, so 'expanding' this tool to work with them would mean completely re-writing the software.
