[UTILITY RELEASE] Dreamcast FMV Auto-Subber (v1.3)

[ateam]

I decided to put together a little toolkit for batch SFD re-encoding with subtitles. This is based on the tools I wrote for the English translation patch of Birdcage of Horrors.

You can download the utility here, as well as read detailed usage instructions.

The entire process is designed to be as easy as possible:

• Place original SFD video files in the "input" folder.

• Place accompanying SRT subtitle files in the "input" folder.

• Launch the "autosubber.exe" program.

There's also a "config.ini" file for customizing a range of subtitle text settings, all of which are explained in the GitHub readme.

See example output below.

I've released a small v1.1 update today...

Version 1.1 (2024-10-01)
• Added option for custom subtitle text color.
• Fixed bug preventing use of non-integer outline color value (e.g., 000000 was permitted but not FFFFFF).
• Eliminated use of ffprobe to query video dimensions (now using ffmpeg).

I've released a small v1.2 update today...

Version 1.2 (2024-11-01)
• Fixed bug where font_face, font_color, and outline_color configuration options could be erroneously flagged as invalid.

New update!

This is a pretty important one in terms of being able to handle SFDs of any dimension.

Version 1.3 (2025-01-14)
• Added error-handling when attempting to process SFDs with no audio stream.
• Rewrote video dimension detection and scaling logic to intelligently account for videos of any resolution.
