please, send me some PROPER japanese subtitles zipped to my mail. I will play with them, if there is some error on opensubtitles.org site, or what is causing this. UTF8 should work very good, UTF16 is problem.
ok, Ive just ripped the idx/sub combo from mr and mrs smith, and Ill put them through subresync, which will take a few days, given the exigencies of the Japanese written language and time etc.
To be honest, Ive never gone the whole way through with OCRing a movie, particular a Japanese movie. Was playing around with it the other day and while the first time it remembered the hiragana characters (the more commonly recurring ones) but when I tried it again it would not "remember". Im using subresync instead of subrip because it seems that while ripping the bmp images is easiest in subrip, however, after ripping, I am not sure what program to use for Japanese characters to build them into an easier to handle subtitle than idx/sub (which both work fine in Japanese on my computer with the encoded dvix avi container). On a another website I found a link to something called InputSub which is supposedly to be Japanese specific, but, that program does not seem to exist. Thus I am using subresync. I am just hoping the output isnt the same jibberish that is on the other files, which dont seem to be working on the most commonly used media players (VLC and BS Player).
As you can tell I am relatively new to this.....but I have a sense of the basics. Any help would be appreciated, and if I could learn how to correct this problem then I would learn something myself and more so I would be more than happy to contribute more Japanese subs to the site in the future, and maybe others could get on and help too.
So, a zipped .srt file is what you want os??
