Help editing DVD subtitle

[greator]

I have a dvd movie with a very crappy and stupid translation. So I want to edit the subtitle and put them back on the dvd.

I followed some guide here, demuxing with rejig, and i got a .sup file.

The problem is, there is no program out there is supporting .sup file for editing. Subtitle Workshop is no good either. Try changing it to .sub (still using rejig) and the subtitle workshop said that its a bad, corrupted sub.

There is a lot of program that saves to .sup but none supporting .sup for editing.

How can I edit this subtitle?

Its a 2 dvd and i want to compress it so it fit in 1 dvd, so using DVDsubedit is not a good idea, I think.

How can I edit this subtitle?

Open the DVD IFO in SubRip and OCR into a text based subtitle format such as SRT or SSA. Then edit that. When done, convert back into SUP format for authoring into a DVD.

did you try DVDSubEdit ?

I'm using DVDlab pro so I dont need to convert it to sup. DVDlab cant read sup files other than their own sup.

DVDsubedit can read those sup, but they cant edit it, only delete it. Thank god there is an option to save it to srt. I think i'll use that.

Sup files are just compressed (by RLE) pictures. The only way to edit those, would be a image processing program (Paint, Gimp, Photoshop...). To edit this as text, you have to OCR the text on the pictures and edit the resulting text file. Then you can use a subtitle render engine (SubtitleCreator, txt2sup...) to convert the text back to sup, or use an authoring program with a built in subtitle render engine like dvdlab.
