PodPis Description

Have you ever encountered a need to capture subtitles from an avi file? You came across a copy of a movie in a language you don't master and the subtitles are not available. You have two options: to find someone to translate it for you; or to find and use an already existing translation. We will talk here about the second option. Most of the subs available came from the dvd source. But a lot of movies came out only on VHS tape or are just broadcasted on some tv channel. If they are ripped or captured we get an avi with hardburned subtitles. They are there, already well translated (hopefully) but is there any way to get them into some well known format (sub, srt) without too much manual work? This question bothered me for a while and after a looong time of searching, learning c++ and some clumsy coding I've developed a Virtualdub filter that does just that; it captures subs into idx/vob file (subpictures and time codes). This vob file has to be ripped with SubRip and we get a subtitle. The PodPis VirtualDub filter was designed to capture hardcoded subtitles from an AVI file
