As a ripper myself for one of the internal groups, both DVDs and Blu rays have this annoying thing where they include the subtitles in image format (PGS for BRs, forgot what the DVD one was). It’s a headache for the rippers and encoders because we then need to OCR the subtitles for the encodes we put out there. Sometimes if we get lucky the movie is on a streaming platform making this process obsolete as we grab the .vtt files from the streaming service and sync it with the BR we’re making (as well as transforming it to .srt) . My only assumption as to why MPAA decided on image format subs for both DVDs and BRs is because it makes it easy to deal with different languages and the likes, you just display a static image and fk everything else. But for the people putting out quality releases if we ship PGS that means we’re just doing a bad job.
I spent my college days ripping and manually correcting OCR’d subtitles for more movies than I care to count in the early 2000s. Do you mean to say I could have monetized it?
Highly doubt you can monetize it. Most groups do it as a hobby because they care about preservation. Internal groups don’t lack the time or storage space. What we do lack is dedicated BluRay rippers from distant regions.
I rip for my personal collection/data hoarding and was surprised to learn how much of a pain PSG subs are. I figured I just had HandBrake configured wrong until I started looking into it.
Oh damn, I had no idea that’s why a lot of movies had OCR issues with my subtitles. I knew the information, and I had this problem, but I never put it together to realize that it had to be OCRd.
Piracy has none of these problems.
Once again, playing by the rules is a worse experience.
It really depends on the ripper. I’d say 9/10 times captions are included on most of my downloads.
It’s that 10th one that is super annoying and I have to wait for jellyfin to download them one by one from open subtitles.
Have a look at Bazarr.
And the downloaded ones are never in sync properly.
That’s on you for loading the wrong kind.
If you run your own server you can have a look at bazarr.

Support your fav trackers (and their internals!)
Unsung hero right here.

Yeah, really makes you wonder if it’s by design as some sort of evil anti piracy measure.

Thank you for your service.
