Looks like an AAC low complexity what ever that means. It cannot complete but at least appears to start the demux. I know the owner of the original likes to upscale things. This is an old BBC play from 1957. Could be from DVD archives then an ISO in 2019.

I have tried many of them, some are good some, some are not so good Most of them advertise free trial, but those are not practical for subtitles. They are limited to few thousand characters.

I feel I have enough expenses, so I usually take it as a challenge to find free alternatives to everything. Google translate is ok, but often makes strange result and does not understand the context. DeepL is maybe one of the best, but cost to much.

One site I have used a lot is Kagi. It's also a pay service, but the the difference from the others is that the free online service allow 20.000 characters. If you reduce the srt file size by extracting the sub text and the sub number (with Subtitle Edit for example), you will usually be able to translate a complete movie subtitle in 3-4 chunks. Afterwords load the translated file in Subtitle Edit and import the time stamps back from the original srt.

My experience is the translations from Kagi are very good. ]]> Subtitle Mork54 https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420203-Online-translation-sites Subtitle Edit problem - Audio to text, multilingual https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420200-Subtitle-Edit-problem-Audio-to-text-multilingual?goto=newpost Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:46:56 GMT Hi, My problem is this.

My problem is this. I have a video with both english and french audio. The srt file are only for the french audio into english.
Is there any option to do a Audio to text on only the detected english audio?

Subtitle edit has an option to merge two srt files , but the problem is how to make the english part without the french. ]]> Subtitle Mork54 https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420200-Subtitle-Edit-problem-Audio-to-text-multilingual Extracting hardcoded subtitles using OCR https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420099-Extracting-hardcoded-subtitles-using-OCR?goto=newpost Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:34:34 GMT Since i am having problems posting a software review, i am giving here my opinion.

Since i am having problems posting a software review, i am giving here my opinion.

Surprised to see VideoSubFinder so highly rated. I was recommended this by a friend to extract hardcoded subtitles together with Subtitle Edit doing the OCR of the extracted images.
Not only the UI is super ugly and confusing, it fails too much at recognizing the subtitles, sometimes only grabbing garbage. Even the corrected captured subtitles were so poor (image quality) that Subtitle Edit could not OCR them. Also Subtitle Edit to blame cause it is using the old Tesseract engine.

This is all old tech now, for this purpose.

I then discovered 2 programs: VidSubX and VideOCR. By the way, surprised that they have not yet a VideoHelp page. (I just submitted them, let's see what happens).
They are very similar and super easy to use. Just open the video, select the region where the subtitles appear and start. It automatically creates a srt file with no need for a second tool. They have 2 versions: CPU and GPU. I used only the GPU version since it is more powerful. They both use PaddleOCR.

VidSubX took 20 minutes for a 95m movie. It completely nailed it. Even captured some credits that appeared in the subtitles region.
VideOCR took 11 minutes for the same movie. Same result with even some captures of scenery words that happened to appear in the subtitles region. ]]> Subtitle 1v0live https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420099-Extracting-hardcoded-subtitles-using-OCR Subtitle Edit cannot process the Waveform on a multichannel audio https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420090-Subtitle-Edit-cannot-process-the-Waveform-on-a-multichannel-audio?goto=newpost Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:49:13 GMT This may be just the problem of having to decode so many channels from a web rip, but the latest Subtitle Edit (https://www.videohelp.com/software/Subtitle-Edit) 4.0.15 hangs on making the wave form with this media file descriptor: slightly edited....

I really don't know how to use regex but I experimented with what I found online but could not get it to work reliably. The problem is I need it to ignore apostrophes in the text string like contractions and only see apostrophes at the beginning and end of a line and also work correctly when there is a line break in the text string and I cannot get it to do either and mine only works with the first string between apostrophes then moves on.

I'm using Subtitle Edit and the regular expression selection in the Replace function.

Thanks for the help. ]]> Subtitle Ronstang https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420068-How-to-use-regex-to-change-text-between-apostrophes-into-italics
