Download
- Platform independent runnable jar file:
- If you are running Ubuntu 12.04 or later use the *.deb installer. You still have access to the command line interface by using the 'bdsup2sub' command. The installer may also work on other Debian based distributions as long as they provide the openjdk-7-jre which is the only dependency of this package.
BDSup2Sub v5.1.2 (deb package)
- If you are running Mac OSX use the Application Bundle. In case you want to use the command line interface you also have to download the *.jar file.
BDSup2Sub v5.1.2 (Application Bundle for OS X)
Source code can be checked out from GitHub or downloaded as a zip or tar.gz archive.
Latest snapshot version for testers
BDSup2Sub v4.0.1-wdtv (for WDTV Live media player owners)
Java Runtime Environment is needed to run BDSup2Sub. If you install the deb package on Linux then it automatically pulls in OpenJDK 7 as a dependency. For the other means of installation however you have to make sure that the Java Runtime Environment is available on your system.
You can find the latest on the Oracle website.
Please note that BDSup2Sub is developed and tested with the official Oracle JRE version 7. Using OpenJDK 7 or Oracle JRE 6 should be possible but has not been extensively tested. OpenJDK 6 is not supported.
