Yes, its in the Vaseline cut

The exact moment OpenSubtitles becomes ClosedCaption
They are transitioning to their
.comdomain, whose only bonus, other than the wait time and ads, is serving files directly rather than zipped. They could offer this feature on the original.orgsite with no downsides (the traffic won’t increase because 99% of devices will support gzip on the application layer anyway) but I wonder why they don’t.
OpenSubtitles is hot garbage, a viable alternative needs to exist. Pray for Subscene
Ironically, this might be an area where machine learning could be beneficial.
I’ve been watching a few projects that are attempting to live translate videos. We are very close
Whisper AI is pretty darn good. I’ve used it to make subtitles for MST3K vids where nothing good exists and maybe only had to spend 10 minutes doing some clean up. It even recognizes when different people are speaking and breaks up the subs accordingly.
Imagine the next step though, soon AI will generate actors’ voices speaking in any language you want.
I don’t think I would use this actually, because I don’t see how an AI could capture the performance. I’m a sub over dub guy anyway, but at least someone making a dub has a sporting chance to make an interesting performance.
Live is great but I don’t think it’d be feasible for most languages to be a real 1:1 translation in live.
Even a 10s delay allows for the whole sentence/phrase to be captured and translated in entirety. A lot of languages can drastically change meaning due to a word on the other side of the sentence.
The great thing about television, is that “live” is a flexible concept.
The playback software could happily play 10 seconds ahead of what’s actually on the screen, and have plenty of time to translate like that.
In the same way that we sometimes put delays into live events to allow the subtitling systems breathing room.In the same way that we sometimes put delays into live events to allow the subtitling systems breathing room.
I’ve always heard this was because of the infamous Superbowl Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction (where the malfunction was that only one nip was slipped and not both as was clearly intended)
Live shouldn’t be used in a home setup anyway unless for something where interaction is required, like a teams call or twitch stream. Anything else can take a delay for the sake of preserving the meaning.
It’s already a thing with near-zero delay. MS Teams does it (dunno about the translation) and the QSMP Minecraft server has a bunch of livestreamers from different countries who use it for realtime translation.
[EDIT: Live demo from today. Shit’s impressive.]
What actually happens is that the current sentence gets “corrected” several times as you keep speaking. It’s a bit jittery and if the word order differs significantly then the translated sentence might be a bit wonky for a few seconds, and there are a few misses but overall it works really well; at least well enough that people who don’t speak each others’ language can have a conversation in their native tongues with essentially no more delay than reading speed. I can easily follow a livestream in a foreign language with the live subtitles (which was not the case a mere 6 months ago for any language other than English).
Amazing clip you posted seven months ago here. Doesn’t seem like it could even be any better now.
I absolutely hate to watch subtitles appear word for word. So no, please no live captions.
It doesn’t have to be live as in with the player but I imagine the audio could be loaded into the program simultaneously and have it produce cc for the entire movie as you watch it
How does that work for people with non US/UK accents? I ask because all of the transcription software I’ve seen will work absolutely fantastically on even the most garbled and redneck American accents, and the vast majority of British ones too, but as soon as you get to Scottish/Welsh/German/Australian/really anywhere elses accents, it has a complete breakdown and you can’t make sense of it at all
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h5JNnvXjmmY Looks like they actually solved it a while ago, this video shows multiple base languages. Sorry but I can’t speak to specifics, but I do know my next project.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I typically grab the better quality rips and they almost always come with subtitles. Three hats ones are older or more obscure movies/shows that don’t have many options to choose from.
Is addi7ed also good?
Yeah but they are focused on tv shows afaik
Is it easy to get a copy of their dataset?
there’s a comment from a few months ago with a torrent, the date inside is july 2022 so will be missing anything newer: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/5089994
Scummy.
According to a site admin from that forum post (which is from April 2021–who knows where things stand now):
If you use the OpenSubtitles website manually, you will have advertisements on the web site, NOT inside the subtitles.
If you use some API-software to download subtitles (Plex, Kodi, BSPlayer or whatever), you are not using the web site, so you do NOT have these web advertisements. To compensate this, ads are being added on-the-fly to the subtitles itself.
I’m curious how much companies like NordVPN pay them to inject ads into subtitles for pirated media.
Nothing for putting it there, but if someone goes to the affiliate link and sign up they get a comission ofc.
All the ones I’ve seen have been in the credits. Putting it in the middle of a movie is kinda shitty, but guarantees the ads are at least seen.
i’ve had ads inside of subs downloaded via browser. whenever i see them, i load 'em up in my sub editor and remove them. i usually have to adjust timing anyway as my sources are rarely the same.
What sub editor do you use?
it’s been a few months since i’ve had that pc booted-up, but i think this is the one:
https://www.videohelp.com/software/Subtitle-Workshop
note that i don’t create or translate subs, all i really use it for is for adjusting timing of the whole file (using vlc to find the + or -), and the occasional edit or delete of an existing line.
Jesus Christ fuck them. “Fair is fair”?
You’d think they were making the damn things themselves.
And who pays for the servers and uptime?
You think that’s cheap? lmaoYeah, if they weren’t sourced by people giving them to them under other pretenses I wouldn’t judge.
This is pirate on pirate violence. Blasphemy.
Some of them try and sneak an ad at the start or end. It’s rare though.
Most stuff now is mkv which has a good chance of including the subtitles straight from the Blu-ray or streaming service.
I tend to wait for at least a digital or physical release before downloading so I don’t get a load of blurry crap with an ad for an Asian gambling site splattered across the middle of it.
I check my srt files for that kind of thing and just remove it. But i don’t download as much material as many people, perhaps.
Mullvad>Nord
Because:
Monero>Snitchcoin
Care to explain the comparisons?
I assume because Bitcoin has a public ledger and Monero doesn’t. Its more than that, but that’s the gist. Monero literally exists to offer additional privacy over Bitcoin.
No idea about those VPNs in particular, but I assume its a similar privacy issue, such as keeping logs…
I know what Monero is, it just wasn’t clear to me how it relates to those VPNs
Bitcoin is a Snitchcoin. Everything is does everywhere it goes and everyone trading in its entire history is tracked and publicated %100 all the way down to the IP address.
Closest thing you can get away with that is to swap Monero for the Bitcoin on Bisq.
Monero is anonymous. %100. Regular upgrade to the shuffling of the anonymity is by design and happens between twice a year and every other year.
Mullvad accept Monero directly. No third party snitch tracker doing the acceptance for them. They give the same discount for the payment method.
don’t tell ppl monero is pvt.
I’m familiar with Bitcoin and Monero, it just wasn’t clear to me how they related to those VPNs.
I’m all for privacy but if you feel the need to pay for a VPN with Monero, and get seemingly offended by ones that don’t accept it, then I really have to wonder what you need it for.
Just an FYI, if I’m suspicious and I’ve only interacted with you once, I’m sure anyone who actually cares is also already suspicious of you. If you’re so big on Monero, then you should also know about OpSec.
Nord is a snitch VPN. Nothing you do in it is private.
I’m paranoid by choice. I’m choice of such because I’d rather have the skill before the need is the status and late to the party with any skill at all.
Ok, and how are they a “snitch VPN”? Got any evidence to back up the claim? Or is it just run of the mill paranoia?
I don’t have a horse in this race, and have no interest in defending Nord. I’ve just seen nothing that indicates what you said is true.
No. All my old shit is gone. I was in a coma for 3mo and 3 more in rehab. Came back to all my comps fried or stolen. I know enough never to fuck with them. Don’t take my word for it. Do your own gorramn research.
So you think your stuff was gone because NordVPN? A real critical thinker, huh?
What is snitchcoin?
Bitcoin
That’s a bit harsh
I once saw a movie where the subtitles before the movie were like “join my wow guild”. Loved it
It’s Bokutox, isn’t he?
Did you join it tho?
Never played it :(

There are a few scripts available on GitHub to remove these ads automagically

Product placement for NordVPN and Naughty America in a single line.
I occasionally see those types of ads in subs downloaded through the Plex UI, but usually it’s in an intro or at the end. Haven’t seen them in the middle of a dialogue yet.
This is because Plex uses Open Subtitles, which is the same provider from the screenshot.
I think they only put them in when there’s a long period with no captions. Usually at the beginning or end of a video, but I’ve had them during a silent/dialogue free scene in the middle of a movie before.
I think this is at the very end of LOTR 1 if I remember correctly. Like they cut off two of Sam’s lines
