Subtitle Xtractor

Extract subtitles from DVD Studio Pro 4.x

Subtitle Xtractor extracts subtitles from DVD Studio Pro 4.x* Disc- or Track itemdescriptions (*.dspDisc, *.dspTrack) and converts it into STL format (Spruce Technologies subtitle format).

Actually, it’s not a good idea to put subtitles into DVD Studio Pro* directly. A workflow with external subtitle files becomes substantially more flexible, e.g. in the STL format.

Subtitle Xtractor detects nearly all STL commands: $FontName, $ColorIndex1, $ColorIndex2 $ColorIndex3, $ColorIndex4, $TextContrast, $Outline1Contrast, $Outline2Contrast, $BackgroundContrast, $HorzAlign, $VertAlign, $XOffset, $YOffset, $ForceDisplay, $FadeIn, $FadeOut, $TapeOffset.

If a subtitle clip contains a graphic, then it is detected by Subtitle Xtractor. The absolute path of the grahic is written into the STL file.

Main features

Different outputoptions of the STL-file (Spruce Technologies subtitle format)
Single- and batch processing
Detects nearly all STL commands
Retrieves language codes of all subtitle streams
Detects subtitle graphics
Warnings, if graphic and text occurs is in the same subtitle clip

Known restrictions:

The fontsize is not clearly detected. Normaly the size of the first character in the first subtitle clip will be taken. If a subtitle clip uses different font sizes, then these formatting information will be lost.

Quick start guide

Export a track or the whole DVD as itemdescription from DVD Studio Pro*

(…) Subtitle extraction is a much requested tool, as you have no doubt found out. There have been a few shareware offerings over the years, but each has slowly slipped away. Let’s hope yours doesn’t!
