YourLocalCinema - captioned. #Captioned #Cinema

yourlocalcinema.com/explain.ht

I'm a fairly recent UK based hearing aid wearer and have only just discovered, through chatting on lemmy, that cinemas can, and sometimes do, show films with subtitles.

This is some explanation:

I finally tested it successfully:

"Substital" is an add-on for Firefox and Chrome that allows you to display captions / subtitles in nearly any video that you can see on a website, either by searching for it on OpenSubtitles or by loading a caption file from your device locally.

This way you can, for example, watch an old show's episode on archive.org and add a local SRT file so the video gets captions.

Everyday InAccessibility - Today: Robin

"My partner and I are an international #deaf couple. We want to enjoy movies together, each with #subtitles in our own language. But it’s much harder than it should be.

🎬 Cinemas don’t offer dual subtitles, so we rely on technical solutions. Yet, the few available tools are often faulty, not cross-platform, or simply unreliable.

🫠 Why is it so difficult to learn languages and enjoy movies together, accessible?"

The background is dark turquoise. In light pink and white text, it says 'Everyday Inaccessibility.' Below, in a handwritten font, it says 'with Robin.' Above this text is the AccessTech logo. In the bottom left corner, there is a digitally drawn image of Robin in a blue-to-pink gradient. Robin is a white cis male person with short hair.
Image 2: The background is light pink with a dark pink border. In dark text, it says: 'My partner Marcos and I are a deaf international couple, and we love watching movies together. He’s Spanish, and I’m German. We want to have different languages for the subtitles. Should be no issue, right?' Below the text, there is a sketch-style illustration of a popcorn bucket with popcorn spilling out. Image 3: The background is light pink with a dark pink border. In dark text, it says: 'While cinemas don’t provide dual subtitles and access in general, we have to do it on our own. However, watching a movie with dual subtitles has proven to be a real challenge.' Below the text, there is a photo showing a movie playing on a laptop. The screen displays two subtitle tracks in different languages, overlapping each other, making it difficult to read.
Image 4: The background is light pink with a dark pink border. In dark text, it says: 'There are only a few plugins available, but half of them don’t work, and the ones that do aren’t cross-platform. It is frustrating and defeating to have to keep trying something new over and over again. It drains time and energy.' In the bottom right corner, there is a sketch-style illustration of a battery with low energy. Image 5: The background is light pink with a dark pink border. In dark text, it says: 'And when we finally find one that seems to work and start the movie... The subtitles are misaligned, translated incorrectly. This happens too often.' Below the text, there is an image of a laptop screen playing a movie. Two subtitle tracks in different languages are overlapping, making them difficult to read.
The background is dark turquoise. In light-colored text, it says: 'Why can’t it just be... technically simple to learn a language and enjoy?' Below the text, the digital illustration of Robin is shown again.

Oh oh oh... listen to this one.

I watched Hjem til jul (Home for Christmas) when I lived with my ex-wife. The audio is Norwegian, but since my ex-wife was watching too, the subtitles were in English.

Then I rewatched recently. I decided to put on the bokmål subtitles. (Bokmål is one of the Norwegian dialects.) I can understand some bokmål, but not a ton.

Then I thought about it more. I'm done with Bandidos, but I don't have another series with decent Spanish subtitles... except that Hjem til jul does come with a ton of other subtitles than bokmål or English.

I look, and yes! There's Latino-American subtitles.

So now I'm watching it with the audio in Norwegian and the subtitles in Spanish. It is a little weird, but it works.

:madjoy:

So... I'm working, and my bf is watching a show on TV. I have my headphones on to listen to music.

I glance at the TV, and I see Spanish subtitles.

:catthinking:

I take my headphones off, and I ask, "Are you watching a show with Spanish subtitles? You don't speak Spanish."

He goes, "Am I? [Fiddles with the settings.] I knew something was off."

I go, "Are you high?"

He goes, "I feel very called out right now."

:madjoy:

It’s already been a year since my wife and I have visited #Chile - first time in South America for both of us. Many treasured memories were made, especually thanks to the friendly people and breathtaking scenery. I tried to #vlog a bit, but true to the rookie I am, I missed to capture a lot of the good stuff.

Anyway, give it a look if interested! English #subtitles are available as usual.

Hey #FFMPEG users! I know you can specify extracting #subtitles by language with a command like:

-map 0:s:m:language:eng

But how do you specify by FORMAT or CODEC like VTT/SRT?

I have files with english SRTs and english PGSes and I want to specify eng lang but not #PGS. Currently I know most of them are PGS as #subtitle index 2 so I do:

-map 0:s:m:language:eng -map -0:s:2

and that works, but I'd much rather something like:

-map 0:s:m:language:eng -map -0:s:m:format:pgs

Ideas?

Only 2 #Oscar nominated movies in this year's list of nominees for #BestPicture remaining to be seen.

#ImStillHere (2025) and #EmiliaPerez (2024). Both #ForeignLanguage films that will require my attention in order to read the #subtitles.

Tried finding a #streaming source for them but couldn't find any. So, I'm going to have to watch them #OnScreen.

"I'm still here" will be playing at my local #AMC on 2/7 & I already bought a ticket to see it.

"Emilia Perez" is playing at what seems to be random locations for just a few days at a time all over the #SFBA. The best time/location for me to see it is in #WalnutCreek on Feb 25th which will still be before Oscar show this year on March 2nd.

So, I should be able to see all 10 films nominated for Best Picture by then.🙂

"I'm Still Here" has gotten wide praise from the critics but "Emilia Perez" has been almost universally panned & I hope it's not as "bad" as they say it is.

With the same sentiment as "You know what really grinds my gears" meme

I always watch movies with EN subtitles, and original voice. And most of the time this happens

- [Speaks in "other language"]

Then you switch to the "other language" subtitle and there they are displayed in plain sight.

WTF, WTH whyyy uuuuuuuuu.....?
