[dutcher]

First of al hi im Jeroen From Holland and im 27 years old.

I just bought my first brand new dvd burner,my friend from the states went here with a few dvd movies we burned them and watch it on my standalone dvd player...


But now the big problem there are no dutch subtitles selectable in the movie every lanquage sub is there but no dutch,

Is there a way to put dutch subtitles in it(i know were to get srt files so thats not the problem)

I hope someone can explain me step by step how to do it...if its possible


Thks alot

Well, start by extracting the subtitles that you will be translating (get the text and the timing). Use a program like SUBRIP.

Import the extracted subtitles into some subtitle program (I use SubStationAlpha).

Translate each line as you see fit.

From here, it is authoring program specific. I use MaestroSBT to convert the SSA files to bitmap images that I then import into DVDMaestro.

You'll want to read some of the DVD Backup guides, using an authoring tool that suports subtitles.

If your movie is PAL, you can use IFO Edit to mux the m2v, ac3, and sup streams together.

So in short, you need to reauthor the DVD to add new subtitles.

Yeah well I had tried to do something like this with an animated movie. It's extremely hard to get the subs to look and behave properly...I eventually re-encoded the movie with hard subs on the video then created a new dvd with the newly encoded mpeg2 file.

I used ifo edit but it gave errors while reauhoring dvd

Iternal error:additonal data required but no free space in input folder


So is there another or maybe better program to do this?

Thks again
