Sundry Tools

Here may be found various tools that I've written that may be of use to someone. Most are command-line tools written in Perl and converted to Windows executable files by IndigoStar's Perl2EXE.

• Subrip2Maestro: This tool will take a Subrip subtitle file and convert it into a Spruce subtitle file, so it can be imported into Maestro, Conductor, Virtuoso, and any other DVD Authoring tools Spruce may have written. The only argument is the name of the Subrip file (extension .srt) that you want to convert (if you give no argument, the program will look for subtitles.srt). The program will use the input file's name and directory for the output file, using the extension .stl. The download contains the executable, the Perl source code, a sample SRT, and its equivalent STL (with italics added afterwards just to show what they look like). The first time you run the program, it will create an INI file and spit out a few tips that are not immediately obvious from studying the various files and Maestro's subtitle editor. Adjust the INI file for best results.
• DumpPixelValues: This is a filter for the AviSynth video scripting tool, designed to output color data to a log file. It is also able to convert visual VBI data into a format that can be used by my main SCC_TOOLS suite.
