Issue extracting closed captions on partially cc video

[carissariccardi]

Hi! I have been successfully extracting closed captions using the sccyou workflow but I have run into an issue when I have a video that doesn't have closed captioning throughout the entire film. I have some videos that are partially closed captioned and if the software can't detect cc in the first 20 seconds it won't perform the task.

have you tried using the -t flag with some large # of seconds (it's been a minute since I used sccyou, but I believe the -t flag will allow to you bypass the default 20 seconds of searching)

Thank you for the info, I have not tried that. My process is sccyou -s mater_file
Can you explain a little further how to use the -t? I tried using -t in place of the -s and it didn't run a task

[bturkus]

it would be something like:

./sccyou -t 2000 -s /Users/benjaminturkus/Desktop/line21test_1_ffv1.mkv

Just getting back to this project.

I tried sccyou -t 2000 -s DHH00762_SharedReadingProject_master.mov

error message back said "bad option -t"

and lists these options:
Options
-h display this help
-o

write output files to the provided directory (default is next
to the input file)
-s make an srt output as well as scc
-y overwrite any existing output files

Any thoughts?
