  Description     : converts vobsub (.idx/.sub) into .srt subtitles

vobsub2srt converts subtitles in vobsub (.idx/.sub) format into the .srt
format. VobSub subtitles contain images and srt is a text format. OCR
is used to extract the text from the subtitles.  vobsub2srt uses
tesseract for OCR and is based on code from the MPlayer project.

vobsub2srt is a useful piece of software for converting DVD subtitles from an
image-based format to a text-based format. To my knowledge, the Debian
archive does not have an equivalent piece of software.

If a team was interested in maintaining this software, the Debian
Multimedia Maintainers <pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
would be a logical team to do so.

Thanks for your consideration.
