Hi all,

I'm trying to extract subtitles from Freeview recordings but no matter what options I choose it never seems to detect anything. I've tried different recordings and channels and used both your latest release version as well as compiling the latest code myself to no avail.

Here's a sample file (~12MB) recorded on a Hauppauge Nova-T
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ir9ofo03zir90h/8ooTC.zip?dl=1

And here's a log when I tried to process it:
C:\Temp\ccextractor\ccextractor-master\windows\Release-Full\ccextractorwinfull.exe --gui_mode_reports -haup -autoprogram -out=srt -bom -latin1 [+input files]
