Directhex, how can you get better than DVD quality? Surely it's impossible to better quality than the parent?

subtitles, that's how.

subtitles are stored on DVD as an additional video stream, which is simply overlaid on top of the main feature. many DVDs have really crappy quality text for their subtitles - nasty blocky characters. I run subtitles on foreign stuff through some Optical Character Recognition software designed for the task to get a text format version of the subs, with timer info. I then spellcheck and proofread the output, and burn those into the rip output using smooth anti-aliased fonts, for FAR more readable text. let's see if I can get an example done.....

Geexbox is good for HTPC's, but does run on the fly from a CD. it's a small image though, so perhaps you could fit it on a pen drive. I mainly posted this for other info, since it's not very well publicised.
