Topic: Any recommendation for a non-cloud proprietary subtitling/captioning software written in .NET?
Poster: Novian Cahyadi
Hello, everyone.
I’ve been hunting for a non-cloud proprietary subtitling/captioning software. As I’m using a GNU/Linux OS, I’d prefer to get something with native Linux support. Unfortunately, none of the software available offers that. So I would need to do some wizardry to make a Windows software run in my computer. Which is fair, I guess.
I’m specifically looking for a subtitling/captioning software written in .NET. This is because I’ve been having a great experience running Subtitle Edit on Linux. Mono has been doing an incredible job at that, in fact I feel like it’s more responsive and less prone to crashes now than it was on Windows.
I looked around and found only one that fits this requirement: [url= [url removed] ]Lemony[/url]. Based on a little research I’ve done, it seems alright and respectable enough for professional use. But it looks like it requires WMP, which may cause issues for me. Ergo, I’m open for suggestions if you have other non-cloud proprietary subtitling/captioning software to recommend, as long as it’s written in .NET and uses an internal player, or at least requires something readily available on Linux (i.e. VLC).
Yes, I’m aware that I can run any Windows software by using Wine. But I really don’t want to keep it installed seeing how bloated the whole package is. The initial download size alone was nearly 500 megabytes in total. It's inconvenient for long-term maintenance, even more so since I'm currently on the rolling-release channel. Mono, on the other hand, has a much smaller footprint. Just several megabytes if I recall correctly, including its dependencies. That’s why I’d prefer that.
Thank you in advance, and have a nice having to work despite end year holiday! :-D
