VobSub Ripper Wizard

VobSub Ripper Wizard is a small utility whose goal is to extract subtitles from DVD movies and save them to the VobSub format (IDX/SUB). It is simple to handle, even by users with little or no experience in similar applications.

This is a portable utility, so it does not include a setup pack. It means that you can drop the executable on any folder on the HDD, and run it.

However, portable tools are meant to be saved to USB flash drives or similar storage units, so you can run them on any computer seamlessly.

Another important aspect to take into account is that Windows Registry is not updated with new entries, and leftover files are not kept by the hard disk after removal.

As the name implies, the interface of the application is based on a wizard, where you can get started by selecting the IFO title of the DVD movie in question, along with the save directory.

After a thorough analysis of the movie, VobSub Ripper Wizard lets you select the program chain, angle, language stream and Vob/cell IDs. You can reset the time at the first selected sell, extract the closed caption, and enable only forced subtitles.

The ripping operation doesn't take a long time to finish, and you can make the tool beep or close the dialog when the task is done. VobSub Ripper Wizard is very forgiving when it comes to the CPU and system memory, has a good response time and works well, without making Windows hang or crash.

On the other hand, VobSub Ripper Wizard has not been updated for a very long time, and experienced users normally expect to find more features supplied by this type of tool (e.g. preview mode).
