+DVD Subtitle Ripper for Linux
+
+If you want to convert DVD subtitles into text format (e.g. subrip format) or
+VobSub format this program could be useful for you. However, it is only one
+tiny tool that you need in the process of producing srt files. This software
+depends heavily on transcode for its input and is therefore part of the
+transcode package (see transcode's contrib directory). So, if you want to
+convert some subtitles, grap a copy of the lates transcode distribution.
+
+For srt file production the output of this program should be processed
+by some OCR software.
+
+For VobSub output no other tools are required.
