Hello Carl Eugen I have read the teletext.dat file byte by byte and the data doesn't make sense. It should read similar to an srt file.
import binascii with open('teletext.dat', 'rb') as f: byte=f.read(1) while byte: byte=f.read(1) # print byte blah=binascii.hexlify(byte) #print blah text=blah.decode('ascii') print text prints out mostly FF FF etc... nothing that can be derived into an English Sentence. Any thoughts? On Sat, Feb 13, 2016 at 2:04 PM, william Gunnells <gunne...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Carl Eugen > > Correct ccextractor can extract subtitles from original ts just like > ffmpeg.
