Fun with CCE or one of the things less fun than shooting yourself in the face.

This is just a quick slap up here, i've started to work with the MPEG output generated by my DVD player.... I am currently working on a project to convert some off air episodes to DVD (yeah i know i just recored them to DVD), with subtitles, and chapters... the easy part is pulling apart the commercials but when it comes to taking CCE (closed captions) thats where the fun begins. I have tools for riping them right out of the MPEG output generated by dvddcrypter... but; then i have to cut out the commercials leavening the subtitles badly out of sync... what's a boy to do? well currently i am trying a method involving a frame server and subrip. I want to eventually write a little app to cut the subtitles from one of the various output types that comskip generates; but as far as i can tell that's going to be a pain in the ass as well. well here's hopeing :)
