Voody Blue Subtitler

by Assen Totin <assen dot totin at gmail dot com>

Voody Blue Subtitler (aka VBS) is a suit of programmes that allow you to

• manually synchronize a text file with a video stream, thus creating a subtitles file;
• play back a subtitle file
• relay the subtitles through a small server to multiple clients

VBS consists of several pieces:

• vbsm - the "master" client which can do the timing of subtitles, with or without video playback
• vbss - the "slave" client, which can play back a subtitle file or can receive subtitles from a server and show them in real time
• vbsc - a configuration utility (mainly useful for vbss, but works for bvsm too).
• vbsd - the server which relay the subtitles.

vbms imports text-only files or SubRip and produces its output in SubRip format. It uses mlayer for video output.

VBS requires GTK+ 2.2 or newer. Besides this it should run in any decent environment.

For detailed usage instructions, see the README file.
