NAME

       subp2pgm  -  convert  VobSub  DVD  subtitles  into  pgm  files  and xml
       description

SYNOPSIS

       subp2pgm [-hvf] [-o output] [-s sid] vobsub

DESCRIPTION

       subp2pgm  converts  DVD  subtitles  from  the  VobSub  format  into  an
       intermediate form suitable for OCR extraction.

       subp2pgm  takes  two files as input, which should be named <vobsub>.idx
       and <vobsub>.sub, where vobsub is the basename of the files.

       subp2pgm outputs one .pgm graphics file for each subtitle image, and  a
       .xml  description  file  with  correct  timing  annotation,  where each
       subtitle entry is replaced by the corresponding graphics file.

       After OCR conversion, such a file can be transformed into a proper  srt
       file by subptools(1).  The options are as follows:

       -h, --help
              Display usage and quit.

       -v, --verbose
              Increase verbosity level.

       -f, --forced
              Extract forced subtitles only.

       -n, --normalize
              Normalize the palette.

       -o, --output output
              Basename for all pgm output files and the xml description.

       -s, --sid sid
              Selects  subtitle  id  from  a vobsub file with several subtitle
              streams.  Defaults to 0.
