horusporus<p>Also the Malay subtitles were INCREDIBLE. it just sucks that we still don't really preserve them in any home releases (I believe Netflix/otherwise Malay translations are handled by their own contracts. I'd check with this one down the line if not for the fact I'd have to pay for d+). The 80s/90s era of horrible subs because the contracts used to come out of Hong Kong is definitively over.</p><br><br>RE: <a href="https://app.wafrn.net/fediverse/post/2ae6445e-9436-4e83-ba07-58886020f286" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://app.wafrn.net/fediverse/post/2ae6445e-9436-4e83-ba07-58886020f286</a><br> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/lalok%20lolllllllll" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lalok-lolllllllll</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/thunderbolts" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thunderbolts</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/subtitling" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subtitling</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/Malaysia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Malaysia</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/linguistics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a>

mona, the unofficial spokesperson for nirvana the band<p>I've looked into alternative ways to sub youtube videos, and NekoCap seems to be the best one so far.</p><p>It's open source, no AI stuff or paywalls, supports a bunch of other video sites, and it supports complex subs so you can use different fonts, do text placement, all that cool stuff. They have their own subs editor, but I have never used it, just make my subs on AegisSub and upload them there.</p><p>You do need to have a google account to upload subs there, which is eh, but you get your own little page with all the videos you subbed and you can put a donation link there which is nice.</p><p>It links to the original youtube videos, so you can share them from the NekoCap website or just use their web extension to watch straight from YouTube, no account needed.</p><p>Anyway, I think it's neat, been using it a decent amount, I like it. <br>Here's a link to it: <a href="https://nekocap.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">nekocap.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://toot.garden/tags/NekoCap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NekoCap</span></a> <a href="https://toot.garden/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a> <a href="https://toot.garden/tags/Subtitling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Subtitling</span></a> <a href="https://toot.garden/tags/ClosedCaptions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClosedCaptions</span></a></p>
