inserting subtitles

[ckamc]

Hi everyone i was wondering what program I should use to insert subtitles into my mpeg2 file... I have the subtitles seperated from the audio/video and simply want to either re-encode to mpeg2 or vobs... either way I know how to burn it out into a play-able dvd

many thanks to all those that help

What format are the subtitkes in.

Sorry to jump in on this thread, but I've the same problem. I've downloaded a load of Korean Divx films with english subs, but the subtitles seem to be a seperate file. so when I play the film on the pc with the subtitle file in the same folder (the subtitle file is a .srt) I get the subtitles, but when I burn both the mpeg & .srt files together it won't play on my standalone dvd player (it does support divx) with the subtitles showing.

Any help in being able to add the subtitles would be a great help.

thanks

Since you probably want the subtitles embedded permanently, why not use Virtual Dub and the TextSub filter to make a new DivX AVI?

...or encode AVI to DVD mpeg, author to DVD with:
DVDAuthorGUI which takes .srt files and adds DVD subtitles
or
run srt thru srt2sup and author with IfoEdit.

Thanks for the tips.

I wanted to try DVDAuthorgui. So I downloaded it from here & also other sites I've found, but i keep on getting the same error message

Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of it's dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

If someone has got a full workign version of this can you email it to me at pmc1_98@yahoo.com.

Thanks

goto the download page, and download the supportfiles.rar package. Install the visual basic runtime files. This will copy the needed components to your system, and register them for you.

my subs are str format... i extracted them and they were ssa... i can convert to either of the two.. i just need something that will let me add during the convertion to vobs or after when most files are in vobs.

not intrested in some fancy menue... just something quick and easy

I just started out with the dvdauth program... and i got this

still new to video encoding so im quite clueless what it means.
I just used vurtualdub and extracted the audio and subs i wanted thenused tmpegenc plus and ran the video thru VBR at 2 passes and had it for fast motion. files play fine on the pc thus far just need to put them onto dvd with the subs



NM i just found the mpeg tools in tmpegenc's mpeg editor... i think im on a good track thus far
