Clean external subtitles for gg's Code Geass 16
Let's chop!
After all the hell from episode 15, seems like gg insists in not only breaking VLC, but also forcing mplayer users to explicitly enable ASS support, which was -never- needed before. What's more, depending on your version of mplayer, FreeType just won't shut up during playback, though it doesn't hinder anything. Sweet, isn't it? I wonder what comes next. Maybe something that can't be cleaned just with regular expressions? Oh well, it's not like I don't need some bison practice.
I didn't otherwise alter the subtitles, as you can see at around 16' when Nanaly's name is spelled "Nunnually" in both versions.
For VLC people who enjoy the funny comments, I also prepared a version without the syntax abuse but with the comments, it's in the files with "tns" in the name.
The syntax abuse this time is a bit different from the one in episode 15, so I'm giving the sed scripts I used again.
For the completely clean version:
sed -r "s/\{\x5c\x5cfscx0\}.*// ; s/\{.*\}//" sub.ass > sub-clean.ass
For the "tns" version:
sed -r "s/\{\x5c\x5cfscx0\}.*//" sub.ass > sub-tns.ass
If you're wondering, the reason for the funky hexadecimal escape sequences is that sed wouldn't recognize "\\" for some reason.
Also, last time I was too bitchy to put this link up, but I've calmed down a bit now, so go there for instructions on how to load external subtitles in VLC.
Last but not least, the subtitles!
