Semi problems

[boelle]

Hi

I'm in the process of converting all my DVD's to MP4 so i can put the DVD's in storage

As i'm not native english this includes ripping the subtitles

Handbrake is my friend a lot of the way and Subrip takes care of the subtitles

my process is:

mount the iso i have on a offsite hard drive
use subrip to get the subtitles
use handbreak to rip the video to mp4 and in same go add the subtitles


Now the problem... when i play back in vlc it will list english subs and the one i added.

english is blank while the one i add works

what is the best FREE app to remove the english subs without the need to reencode?? i remember there where an abb that allowed to add and remove subs but the name have escaped me

i plan to use meta x to add cover art info etc. (huraaa i can make use of that old license key again)

You will probably use some GUI for the CLI multiplexer MP4Box, like YAMB. VideoHelp has a few more in its software archive.

and this will not re-code or anything?

[LigH.de]

Certainly not; MP4Box will not change the content streams.

i just have to be sure,

any clue why handbreak adds english even thou i only have danish subtitles on the list before i encode?

[boelle]

mp4box+yamp was not the right tools, they allow to join movie and subtitles on the mux page

i can split and join movie files on the next tab

and i can extract streams...

but where do i remove streams?

You should be able to create a copy of your source by importing your source file and then selecting all of its streams you want to maintain, except the one you want to be removed. I believe... Right now I have no sample file to try that.

Alternative user interfaces are BOX4 or 'My MP4Box GUI' (but I did not use either yet).
