Selectables subtitles from many AVI/SRT to one DVD-R

[miguelos_net]

Hi everybody,

Situation:
I have AVI + STR/SUB.
I put permament subtitles (VDub + Subtitler) and convert to .M2V and .AC3..
The .M2V is HD1/KDVD so I can hold up to 5/6 movies in one DVD-R.
Then author with TMPGenc DVD Author.

That is what I need to do :
I need selectables subtitles !!!

I read the guide "How To Backup a DVD and Add new Subtitles to a DVD. (THE COMPLETE WORKING GUIDE)." it is excellent, but I have different movies-subtitles, not just one movie or VOB.

Is it possible ? How?

Thanks in advance!

use dvdauthorgui or dvd-lab pro or ulead dvd workshop 2. use subtitle workshop to convert between subtitle formats.

to use selectable subtitles you cant use Tmpgenc dvd author. Ive read that guide you are saying and it is really great. using rejig or ifoedit, if you cab¿nt purchase softw<are like dvd-lab, maestro or other, I think there is a guide around there which explain how to put several movies authored with rejig and ifoedeit in one disk. Read something about renaming the .vob files vts_0_1.vob of the second movie and changing it to vts_1.1.vob and so forth. kepp looking and youll find this guide.

Thank you Baldrick , you're always there!!!

Yes, I've tried dvdauthorgui and it works as expected.

The only problem I've found is with my AC3 from VDub, NunDub.
I got this error :

I looked here and I found AC3FIX that seems to be my solution.

I'll try ...


THANKS!!!!!

yep, use ac3fix / ac3fixgui or dvdslice(included in besplit) to fix the ac3.
