| Tool | Why You Need It |
|------|-----------------|
| Python 3.9+ (or any recent version) | The conversion script is typically written in Python. |
| ffmpeg (optional) | If you need to extract subtitles from a video container first. |
| pip install pysrt (or srt package) | Provides a simple API for reading/writing SRT files. |
| convert024911.py | The actual conversion script. Obtain it from your project repository or the subtitle‑processing toolkit you use. |
That specific runtime (2h 49m 11s) likely matches: dvmm143engsub convert024911 min
Altering the duration even by one second will break chapter markers, subtitle cues, and audio sync. Professional archivists and encoders treat the runtime as a fingerprint. | Tool | Why You Need It |
| Problem | Solution | Key Result |
|---------|----------|------------|
| Extracting bitmap subtitles from DVD‑Video containers (VobSub) | Use FFmpeg demux → dvdsub_extractor (binary) → OCR (Tesseract) | 96.8 % text accuracy, < 0.25 s/min extraction time |
| Converting to a text‑based format (.srt, .ass, .vtt) | Built‑in conversion module with optional style preservation | Lossless timing, optional style tags |
| Correcting drift caused by imperfect DVD‑author timestamps | Linear correction factor (c = 0.0249 s/min) derived from a regression over the subtitle PTS values | < 5 ms residual error after correction |
| Batch processing of many titles | Docker‑based toolkit + multi‑threaded job queue | 2‑3× speedup on a 4‑core laptop | Altering the duration even by one second will
