Re: bad links in web site

Okay. Now I see it :) I got it. It just didn't reach my brain.

Dude, just one tiny line and a big list of totally unrelated stuff. Are you serious?

Re: bad links in web site

This is what I get in my computer. Don't know why but I get a random list of subtitles. No DMCA message at all. Sorry but I can't get a direct image link. You'll have to download the file, I think. https://www.mediafire.com/view/rhak34mwa49g00l/msg-dmca.png/file This link will destroy itself in 14 d...

Re: bad links in web site

No, DMCA messages are not bugs but if they don't even come up, it is a bug.

Please, take 10 seconds of your time to click this link and see what happens:

Do you see any DMCA message here?

Re: New to producing subtitles

The rules are really simple and if they are followed they really make a difference. As already said, no long lines, and keep the subs showing as long as possible (enough to be read). Every rule has a clear purpose and this is make subtitles easy to read. The longer the line, the longer the distance ...

Re: bad links in web site

What about this? https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitles/7428934/the-story-of-three-loves-en Surprisingly enough this is my work. Is there any DMCA infringement here? Doesn't anyone else find this kind of behaviour? Which, by the way, I still think has nothing to do with DMCA but with some kind o...

Re: bad links in web site

OK, so this is about copyright and all that. So I must think that this subtitle has been blocked in response to some complaint. I still don't understand why only one language is blocked. I guess the audio track is copyritghted but can it be applied to translations of it? Or even transcriptions of it...

bad links in web site

Hi.

I'm reporting this in case it can be helpful for debugging. I find errors like this once in a while.
If you try to follow this link which should be valid,

subtitle formats and cultural differences

Hi. I wanted to share some thoughts. There are here a lot of messages dealing withh concrete problems or issues. That's OK but I wanted to do some general talking. I wanted to talk about principles and more general things. And this is about subtitle formats. From what I understand there are like 5 o...

Re: No way to download subs using different programs

Nothing more reliable than a web browser. It still fails sometimes because of server down for maintenance and the like but it is the best option.

Re: software translating subtitles

I think smallbrother is right. A Google translate takes two minutes. A human subtitles takes (at least) 10 hours. You want it fast and dirty? Go to McDonalds. You want it slow and good? Be patient. I think smallbrother just gave in the nail. You don't know what I'm talking about? That's because I ju...

Re: UTF-8 Conversion on Upload?

Last year Unicode celebrated its 30th birthday. Yes, one problem is that it is still not supported by some devices. And there are some political issues still not resolved, mainly with CJK. But I think it was a great improvement and everybody should switch to it. I use this site mainly to learn langu...

Re: We have been HACKED

I finally managed to change my password. Then I found a topic named "password change" but I could not post anything there because it is locked. Too many locked threads lately. Some of them justified but this case I don't understand. Well, I do it here. I had some difficulties. I guess the ...

Re: We have been HACKED

These things happen all the time. No problem for me. (S)He can get my email address. So what? And (s)he can know what films I watch. I think I have good taste, so that's no problem either. For the last years I've been using strong passwords, even in a site like this. Yeah, MD5 was compromised some y...

how to correct subtitles (efficiently)

Hi. I've done a lot of corrections in database, mainly IMDB ids and I'm going to keep doing it. I use the web interface which is not bad but when you have to do many corrections it's cumbersome. Would it be possible to use some other interface like some SQL client? So we could do batch updates more ...
