An approach I really want to try is taking a stream of the video without subs (can easily be found online) and subtracting the two. You'd have to deal with differences in resolution and compression between the two, and also handle cases where the background is either white or black, but in theory it should work very well. I haven't had time to dig into this.

This has to be worth a try.

Seems like you could get gstreamer and some subtractive elements working pretty quick...

Legitimate question: why would you want the first video (hardcoded subs) if you have a second stream without them, better resolution maybe?

  In order to have access to vocabulary words. From the article: > I wanted to get a transcript of the episode’s dialog so I could study the unfamiliar vocabulary. Unfortunately, the video files I have only have hard subtitles

    Makes sense, thanks. I went straight to the technical details and missed that part.
