Hi,
I just had a question about how to use the zvbi command.
I have a system with one Hauppauge PVR 150 card with Mythtv on Ubuntu
8.04 Hardy Heron and I managed to set up Mythtv. The mythtv saves the
subtitles and I can play them with Mythtv. My problem is that I'm trying
to work out how to save subtitles with a program, and I've tried all
kinds of programs (ccextract, vbiutil, streamparser and other programs)
to extract the caption information from the saved file before I
transcode but, but that hasn't had any success.
My next attempt is that I got a second card, which is exactly the same
maker and model as the first, and I want to save subtitles from that
card while it's saving the program from the first. Subtitles is pretty
important to me (somewhat hard of hearing) so that's why all the work on
subtitles. I was able to get subtitles from a card while it's not saving
a program, but not while it is working on a program, that's why I got
the second card.
I am trying to find out how to save subtitles to a textfile or even .srt
file so I can play them with vlc or mplayer for example. Now, if I use
the following command:
zvbi-ntsc-cc --cc -C subtitles -d /dev/vbi0 -p
I actually can save the subtitles by themselves in a txt file, but I
would love to have timecodes with it, and adding --filter [timecode]
doesn't add any timecodes.
Do any of you know if it's possible to save closed caption information
from a card into a file with timecodes with this zvbi command? Is there
another command that can be used to do this? If it would be possible to
save subtitles in a format that could be used right away as an .srt
file, that would be ideal, but just having timecodes in the file and
being able to get it done with just some minor changes would be good too.
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm kind of stuck.
Alexandra
