Hardcode subs at dvd5 movie

[Grohnheit]

Hey.

I have all my movies on my harddrive as .iso files, inside the .iso files there is the normal video_ts folder.

All the movies have normal subtitles where you can select languages.

I want to hardcode the subtitles into the movie, but how can I do that the easy way?

I want the output to bee either a .iso file or a video_ts folder.

Can this be done? or is it nessesary to encode all the movies into .avi and back to dvd again?

I realy hope you guys can help me.

Best regards.

I don't think any tool can output it to a video_ts dvd. Why do you need it to be a dvd?

You can use for example autogk to hardcode and convert to an avi.

You can use DGIndex, Avisynth and HCenc to encode them to a hardcoded MPEG2 file. I don't have any experience authoring that back into VIDEO_TS folders, but I am sure that it must be possible.

The reason I need the movies in video_ts / .iso, is that I can burn a fast copy if I want to.

If I convert then all to avi, I will loose quality (I think), and I will have to convert them to a dvd format if I want to burn it on a disk.

You will lose quality whatever method you use as hardcoding requires reconverting.

As an alternative to hard coding them you could modify the commands on the DVD to default the subtitles ON - see this guide
