Ripping Foreign Subtitles in my PC

[devilcoelhodog]

Hi, dear all.

I had just bought an imported dvd to add my private collection, with subtitles in another language (greek language). And my PC is configured for the Brazilian Portuguese fonts only.

I wonder how can I rip the subtitles about the dvd using subrip to obtain the letters in Greek from the same dvd?

I mean: my computer uses brazilian portuguese alphabet, but I would wanna get the greek "letters" using subrip.

Can you help me with these problem?

Thank you.

If you are lucky, that worked for you. If you're not lucky, you will have to go to Control Panel and then go to Regional and Language Options. Go to the Advanced tab and at the top where it says "Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use", you will have to pick Greek and re-boot. That should enable SubRip to rip Greek characters. You will need to figure out the letter sequences on a Greek keyboard as SubRip requires you to enter keyboard characters for what it doesn't know. However, if you can find a SubRip config file that already has Greek letters in it, you might be able to use that.

Hello.

Yes, it worked for me: I used virtual greek on-line keyboard to type the letters. :P

As greek is not my native language, probably I have commited many mistakes. But, at final, I could rip all the greek characters and save them into srt.

Note: these srt files can be open properly using Wordpad, in all native greek alphabet. But, to save them properly, I must save it using UTF-8 (Unicode) or ASS files, for example, to display all the greek character. Use Jubler to do that!

Thanks.

Best regards.
