SICP lectures fansub project

Remember the now-defunct SICP Subtitles project (sicptitles.org)? We're REviving it!

Anyone is welcome to join the project and help with transcribing, editing, and typesetting. We currently have lecture 1a transcribed and ready to edit, and someone has so far already completed 15% of lecture 1b.

We'll be reencoding to 640x480, it doesn't look too bad upscaled and you can actually read the text on the slides that way. Does anyone know whether the .mpg or .avi raws is the better quality?

Why the subtitles? Aren't they speaking English in the lectures...

>>4
If all goes well, someone should dub the Abelson and Sussman into speaking Japanese.

Then we release torrents of them onto the usual anime trackers and watch what happens. We might even get some unsuspecting weaboos interested in SICP!

>>5
Weaboos already speak english.

Shouldn't you be working on Anonix?

Non-yellow text color, tiny font.
Daughter... I am dissapoint.

Anonix is active and currently idling, if you have code you can still submit it. We haven't closed it or anything.

>>9
They're SRTs, you can change the text style and color to your liking. We just chose a comparable size to what you get in most fansubs for the preview.

HAHA FAGGOTS. Go bump your pathetic shitty thread or make a bot to do it. Fuck off. desudesudesu.org piece of shit retard fucking anime fucktard.

Who gives a shit about your projects? You suck. FUCK YOU. nobody gives a shit. You can't code for shit.

XviD? Fucking Xvid!?
That's not the anime fansubbing industry standard.

ahhhh haaaaa
come on over and shoot the shit
ahhhh haaaaa
love you so much, it makes me sick
ahhhhh haaaa
come on over, and do the lsip
ahhhhh haaaa

>>15
There's no point in encoding to a better format since the raw is Xvid anyway. Or is the MPEG version higher quality?

please don't post such fucking bullshit

So, let me get this straight.

You upscaled the video to improve the legibility of the subtitles?

That would mean that your playback system renders the subtitles at the video resolution, then scales the whole thing up, right?

If so, your playback system is insanely broken, and you should fix it rather than spoonfed the rest of the world with broken workarounds.

Also, I hope you're not even considering permanently hardsubbing the subtitles, then encoding the whole mess to XviD and releasing that piece of shit to the world.

That's not the image you wish to give about SICP worshipers.

Please use Real Video, it allows streaming.

Every joke has to be spelled out until it's plain enough to beat someone to death with it, doesn't it?

Please post more of this fucking bullshit

Use softsubs, .mkv and H.264.
It's the only way!!

Please make sure to keep every reference such as onee-sama or onigiri intact (add TL notes the first time), I watch SICP in part for the cultural experience.

What does ``RFEAQGUGIORTE SQ UFOETWEESR'' mean?

It means you're browser sucks.

>>23
No, we upscale the source. The subtitles are rendered at the full resolution.

Why not just release the .srt and be done with it?

>>38
I'll request that you comply with the fansubbing industry standards, briefly explained in >>30 by another /prog/rider.
On the issue of upscaling:
I've only seen the avi/divx3 320x240/mp3(48khz mono 64kbps) encode of the lectures, but you should get the mpeg2 one and compare the quality. Overall, the video exhibits many issues due to it being an old capture, many issues might be hard to fix without nuking the rest of the video entirely(what's left of it), but if you're re-encoding, you might as well try a bit(don't try if you have no idea what you're doing). It's possible for the client to resize locally and get subtitles rendered at a higher resolution, but it's not exactly doable without user intervention. Given the theme of /prog/, it might be appropriate to code a patch for ffdshow and mplayer which allows it to read embedded settings stream from mkv and use them, it might be smarter than upscaling, and is a feature some fansubbers might have wanted, but never got around to implementing it.

On the issue of subtitle format:
Using ASS would be easier on the eyes than SRT, as long as you choose a (dialogue) good font(and embed it in the mkv).

On the issue of audio format:
It's already bad enough, leave it as it is.


I wish they would consider REMASTERING the SICP lectures, but it might not be possible at all if the only recordings are some VHS tapes.
