Hey folks
I've been using DVDFab for ripping 3D blu rays and encoding to full-SBS 3D MKVs, while using burned-in subtitles (because I've had too many hassles with separate subtitle streams being recognised by both MPC and Stereoscopic Player (which relies on FFDShow for subtitles while I'm using LAV)). The problem is, DVDFab doesn't have a setting for changing the 3D depth (z-axis) of the subtitles so they are often, annoyingly, in the middle depth plane of the scene.
My initial attempts at encoding 3D blu rays involving eac3to extracted streams and avisynth scripts using H264StereoSource.dll or BD3D2MK3D were unsuccessful and I don't know why, so the best idea I can come up with at the moment would be to continue to encode the film with DVDFab with as close to lossless as possible, use 3D Subtitler to make me a 3D SBS subtitle file based off an SRT, and then run it through Handbrake again burning in the new subtitle file... except it really rubs me the wrong way to be encoding the video twice, and I'd have to OCR the blu ray subs to an SRT in the first place which is an added inconvenience.
Can anyone suggest a method that I can convert a 3D blu ray to a SBS MKV while specifying the depth of the subtitles, that only includes one encode of the video? I don't mind complexity so long as the method is provided step by step - I have a moderate understanding of this stuff but when it comes to nitty gritty stuff like avisynth scripts and command line tools I'll need some hand holding.
Thanks in advance.

Only one that might work would be modding DVDFab.
Once you've gotten to the stage of burned-in, it's already too late (you would have re-encoding problems, ocr problems, 3D in-painting problems).
Before then, you're still at the overlay stage on disc. And you've already stated how that is a problem for you.
