Batch to Create video .srt Subtitles with right timing


Oh boy! I don't know even know what to start with) So, I have a folder with a lot of videos. What I need is to create subtitles with the names of those videos also minding their length to create subtitles in .srt format.

I have already look up some info and copied some code

@echo off  
set dirpath=%1 
dir C:\FolderwithVideos /O:S /b /-p /o:gn > "C:\result.txt"
call replacer.bat result.txt ".mp4" ""
exit

As a result i got this in result.txt

 videoname1
 videoname2
 videoname3

What I need is to make them look like this (And of course in the end to create .srt file with the result.)

1
00:00:0,000 --> 00:00:25,000
videoname1

2
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:35,000
videoname2

3
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:55,000
videoname3

Hope I got everything, please help! Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • Using VBS to get the video length of each video files (using Folder.GetDetailsOf method) and to sum the lengths for the timers in the .srt file (using the FormatDateTime Function).

    This script get the name of the videos in your result.txt file (so you have to include your code in this BAT or run the bat, that generate it, before.

    I already include it in my code but with REM before. So remove the REMs if needed.

    The result is displayed on the CMD and writing in the file Output.srt(In the same directory of the BAT file)

    BuildSrt.bat

    @echo off&cls
    
    ::The Path of your Videos files
    
    set "$VideoPath=C:\FolderwithVideos"
    
    ::If you want your Code in this BAT remove the REMs Below :
    
    rem dir "%$VideoPath%" /O:S /b /-p /o:gn > "C:\result.txt"
    rem call replacer.bat result.txt ".mp4" ""
    
    setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
    set /a $Count=1
    set "$Timer=00:00:00"
    
    
    (for /f "delims=" %%a in (result.txt) do (
      call:getVideolength "%%a.mp4"
      for /f "delims=" %%x in ('cscript //nologo getvideolength.vbs') do (
           call:SumTime !$Timer! %%x
           for /f "delims=" %%y in ('cscript //nologo SumTime.vbs') do set "$NewTimer=%%y"
           echo !$Count!
           echo !$Timer!,000 --^> !$NewTimer!,000
           echo %%a
           Set $Timer=!$NewTimer!
      )
      set /a $Count+=1
    ))>Output.srt
    
    echo Done !!!
    type Output.srt
    pause
    exit/b
    
    :GetVideoLength
    (echo dim objShell
    echo dim objFolder
    echo dim objFolderItem
    echo set objShell = CreateObject("shell.application"^)
    echo set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace("%$videoPath%"^)
    echo set objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName(%1^)
    echo dim objInfo
    echo objInfo = objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFolderItem, 27^)
    echo wscript.echo objinfo)>GetVideoLength.vbs
    exit/b
    
    
    :SumTime
    echo wscript.echo FormatDateTime(CDate("%1"^) + CDate("%2"^),3^) >SumTime.vbs
    exit/b
    

    This will create a file Output.srt like this :

    1
    00:00:00,000 --> 01:28:28,000
    Film1
    2
    01:28:28,000 --> 02:49:39,000
    Film2
    3
    02:49:39,000 --> 04:45:25,000
    Film3
