Muxing Subtitles With DVD-Video

[CesarDRK]

Hi guys, i have searched a lot, but haven´t found any tutorial or info on how to mux subtitles into DVD MPEG-2 Videos... I´ve found a tutorial and a program to mux subs into SVCD and CVD, but where can i found a program that do this on an DVD video????

I don´t want to make permanent subtitles, i want selectable subtitles. How can i do this? Please help...

Btw, i don´t know if this is the right forum to post... sorry

you need a dvd authoring tool with subtitle support, like dvdauthorgui and dvd-lab pro. add the video and the subs and author.

other tools with selectable subtitle support:

and this is dvd authoring so I'm moving you.

But, these programs you said support subtitles used in avi files, like .sub / .ssa or i have to have the subpictures (.bmp) of the subtitles???

You can use text subtitles in most of those and it will be selectable subs. dvdaughorgui supports mosts text formats...and i know that dvd-lab pro supports srt subtitles. Make and convert subs with subtitle workshop.

I´m using Adobe Encore DVD 1.0, but i can´t import subtitles!
I tryed to convert my .SRT subtitle using Subtitle Workshop into .TXT (Adobe Encored DVD) and .TXT (Captions Inc. Script) but none of them worked, i get this message "Unable to import subtitle script. The file format is not supported."...

What should i do for then to work?? Omg...

click here
Adobe Encore DVD
click on the adobe subtitle converters links, the second one seems to support subtitle workshop.

Woops... another problem...
I converted the subs and everything, but when i try to import then at enc.dvd i get this message..:
"Timecode overlap found in subtitle script line:
01:00:00:28 01:00:05:17 Text_text_text_text..."

But there is no overlap, i´ve checked!!! Seems that every line after 1hr looks like overlap to encodedvd.... wtf... god must hate me... ahhhh!!

Any help??

[CesarDRK]

Nobody????

I can try the other two subs, but don´t know how to make them, anybody knows how can i generate "FAB Images Script" or "Captions Inc. Script" subtitles? Please help, i´m desperate!

Btw, i was able to generate an working dvd subbed with DVD-Authorgui, but it´s too simple, i want to make good-looking menus like in Encore DVD... But i can´t get it to work with subs...

Try dvdlab pro (beta - free download) and works with srt files.

How do you insert your .srt subtitles?? I´ve clicked "import" then "subtitle streams" but it doesn´t open my .srt sub... what should i do?

BTW, Adobe Encore DVD accepted my SUBS... but when i try do make the DVD (burn, make folder or even make image) the program hangs... at "generating menu" in the build process... god dammit!!

What should be the problem???
My system specs..:
Abit NF7-S Rev2.0
Atlhon XP 1700+@2600+ (200x10)
512mb Samsung DD400 Dual-Channel
LG GSA-4082B
Windows XP - SP2 Beta 2096 RC1
nForce Drivers Remix (Ata Controller 2.5)

Should it be the SP2, or what?

1 click on the sub1 square
