When a video file is opened the first time, EasySub will start scanning the sound data and the subtitle data.

The default process for this data scanning is the following steps in succession.

1. popup the data scan window;
2. scan the audio data and calculate the waveforms;
3. scan the subtitle data; and
4. close the data scan window.

Those steps are better illustrated by the example below.

1. popup the data scan window.

Please note that the default selection for the checkbox

is checked.

2. scan the audio data and calculate the waveforms.

As soon as the window pops up, the audio scan starts.

This will take several minutes for a one and a half hour length movie.

3. scan the subtitle data.

At the completion of the audio scan, the subtitle scan starts automatically.

This will take much less time compared to the audio scan.

4. close the data scan window.

As soon as both scans are completed, the data scan window is closed.

Please note that a check sign is displayed on the left to mark the success of the scan process.

You can stop the automatic close of the data scan window by clearing the check mark for the selection of

      Close the window when all scans are finished.

on the Options: Video Player page.

You will interrupt the above default processing steps whenever you press the Pause or the Stop buttons during the scanning.

When a scanning is incomplete, you can always come back via the video player menu entry of Scan audio and subtitle to reopen the data scan window.

The definitions of the various controls are summarized below.
