[UTILITY RELEASE] Dreamcast FMV Auto-Subber 1.2

[derek (ateam)]

I decided to put together a little toolkit for batch SFD re-encoding with subtitles. This is based on the tools I wrote for the English translation patch of Birdcage of Horrors.

You can download the utility at either link below, as well as read detailed usage instructions.
https://github.com/DerekPascarella/Dreamcast-FMV-Auto-Subber
https://segaxtreme.net/resources/dreamcast-fmv-auto-subber.353/

The entire process is designed to be as easy as possible.

• Place original SFD video files in the "input" folder.
• Place accompanying SRT subtitle files in the "input" folder.
• Launch the "autosubber.exe" program.

There's also a "config.ini" file for customizing a range of subtitle text settings, all of which are explained in the GitHub readme.

See example output below.
