Here's a little project I've been working on (YouTube closed-captions ripper) by Mike on 07-02-2009 at 11:21 PM
This is a little project I've been working on. It allows you to download closed-captions/subtitles from YouTube videos that use the CC feature (unfortunately, they're not that many 
) in .srt format so that you can use them with the downloaded videos! 
Unicode subs do not work yet, but I hope to fix this in the next few days...
This site also uses AJAX (well, it's some very simple AJAX, but it's still AJAX...)! 
Here's the site: http://mike.thedt.net/ytsubs/ytsubs.php
Feedback is welcome

However, you probably don't speak Japanese, so you can't understand a thing of what they're saying.
Since this video has English subtitles you can download them so that you can understand what they're saying even when you're not watching this video from YouTube

Sorry for the double-post, and thanks to the mod who did all the cleaning

Allow me to bump this thread by triple posting because Google sucks
Searching for "YouTube closed-captions ripper" (with quotes) won't show my website in the results (while it will for Yahoo and Bing)!
I'm not sure what to do. I've even tried making a sitemap! The only thing that I haven't done is to list it on my main webpage, but I doubt that Google frequents there.
So, I'm bumping this thread in hopes that Google will pick the link inside this thread (because it already picks up this thread).
Oh, and btw, I released a new update today!

You need to get some linkbacks to the site for google to even start contemplating you go round forums post about it ask for features (it's an excuse to link to it ). Put it in signatures etc.

Let's just hope that the mods are ok with it
EDIT: Blah, it looks like I have to go and enable my sig in all of my previous posts

Hm, seems like it's bugged you shouldn't have too. Bug WDZ about it.

I'd use this if you added MP3 (highest quality) so I can rip sound

Besides, I can't add a cron job to automatically delete the download videos/converted files, so I'll have to rely on the same script to do it.
