1. What is this
Extract subtitles from DVD Studio Pro projects (only tested version 4.x) as .txt or .srt files. txt files can be re-imported in a different DVDSP project. srt files can be transported to different subtitle tools (so it can be edited, etc.). Note that .srt files are saved as UTF-8.

2. Usage
drop DVD Studio project files onto DVDSP SubPick and you will be prompted to save .txt or .srt files. This app should extract every available subtitle language into the same folder where the ".dspproj" file resides. Actually won't tell you what language is the file (ie: es, de, fr...) nor will retain format (font, size, location). Just the text (UTF-8) and time.

3. Requirements & Installation
Mac OS 10.4 or higher, only tested with DVDSP 4.x (iLife '09) projects.

4. Credits, support, donation, license, etc.
This app just reads and parses the "ObjectDataB" file in the DVDSP project. Freeware. Open source without license (just open the source code and modify it as you wish). Use at your own risk. Allways duplicate your DVDSP file before using this app, just in case. Keep the DVDSP file in a writable location (otherwise, the output txt or srt files won't be writen). Etc.
