CCParser 0.05b - Closed Captions to subtitles conversion program

-------------------------------------------------------------

/3: 	 allows generation of three lines subtitles

1. Extract the closed caption (line21 data) to a binary file.
2. Convert this file with CCParser into Subrip format.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Problem 1: I found a DVD that doesn't have the standard subtitles streams but only the closed captions coded inside the mpeg2 video stream. 
I needed subtitles cause this DVD was not in my mother language
and subtitles helps a lot!

Problem 2: I wasn't able to find any free utility on internet which could extract the closed caption to a common subtitle format (Subrip, MiniDVD ...).

So I extracted the closed captions (line21) to raw binary format using Graphedit and a directshow filter (Cyberlink or Xing are ok), you can see on the image an example of such a graph.
Then I tried to understand the format of the raw file produced by running the graph and the result is the "CCParser" program.
