subslicer

Slice and dice subtitle files

We want to be able to click on a rendered view of a subtitle file, and go directly to the part of the movie file in question.

There are at least a couple applications of this:

• “sound board” style quote extraction
• language learning

File formats

There are two main file formats for subtitles files:

.srt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubRip
.sub http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroDVD

As .srt files seem to be more common, we’ll deal with those.
