Re: Movie Subtitles Searcher causing problems in Windows 8

Well, unless I misunderstood you, if a problem started after installing Windows 8, then it looks like the problem is with Windows 8 not being fully compatible with software written for prior versions of Windows.

Re: Movie Subtitles Searcher causing problems in Windows 8

Sounds like something Microsoft needs to fix, not OpenSubtitles.

Re: Problems with the addition of new lines in the srt files

I'm completely against subtitles, by the way.
I have a hard time believing that. Image

Re: Problems with the addition of new lines in the srt files

By the way, shouldn’t http://trac.opensubtitles.org/projects/opensubtitles be edited now? It still contains this line:

no signature or advertisment is added to subtitles

Re: Hash Source Code : Visual Basic 6 (VB6) Code

I have a question: for the RAR file given, shall I find the code of the RAR file or the extracted content of it or something else??? The extracted video file. In other words, you should get the same hash when you get it from the RAR file and when you get it from the video file after it was extracte...

Re: Problems with the addition of new lines in the srt files

Except for compatibility with few softwares such as Theatre 5, but even then, the majority of the files which will remain ANSI or UTF-8 coded will need conversion in Notepad. Not just softwares, languages. For Chinese, UTF-16 is much better because the file is much smaller than UTF-8. And not just ...

Re: Problems with the addition of new lines in the srt files

Oss, I too agree 200% on the need to accept UTF-16 for OpenSubtitles. After all, it is a variable length code so it should not take a lot more space, if this is the reason for not accepting it ? While I agree that UTF-16 is desirable, I have to say that it is not a variable length code. UTF-16 is t...

Re: Problems with the addition of new lines in the srt files

Well, I just tested it. I downloaded one of my subs using SubDownloader, another from the web without logging in, and in both cases the subs came exactly as I had uploaded them. No ads.

So, I’m happy and will continue to contribute.

Re: Problems with the addition of new lines in the srt files

Not even Trabants :roll:
Not when I went to school. Trabants came later. I mean, they did exist, but they were still rare, at least in Bratislava, where I am from.

A few people owned a Škoda, we even owned a Volga for a few years, but the point is, cars were rare. We did not brag about them.

Re: Problems with the addition of new lines in the srt files

This debate reminds me of my cchool Days, my father's car is better :) Personally I don't like special characters (♫ etc) in subtitles When I went to school, we didn’t have cars because it was near impossible to buy one in Communist Czechoslovakia. Anyway, how do you let the hearing impaired know t...

Re: Problems with the addition of new lines in the srt files

I didnt say anything to prove you wrong did I? Yes, you did. Your remark about average people, as if only the 6% of humans who understand English were people worth considering, was smug to say the least. So I really thank you for your academic enlightment Except there is nothing academic about the ...

Re: Problems with the addition of new lines in the srt files

Still, average people use letters to read, not calligraphy. Believe it or not, average people of the world do not use the plain Roman alphabet as is used by English speakers. Considering mere numbers, the average person uses the Chinese script (which cannot be fit into a single code page) or Devana...
