MKV Subtitle Problem

[PonyoBellanote]

Hello! I wanted to ask you about a certain problem I have with subtitles. Well, I ripped all 3 discs of Looney Tunes. The problem is with the subtitles. You see, my player is a Blu-ray Phillips BDP5100. And it's only able to play subtitles if they are on text, or any other easy uncompressed format. Is there anyway my player could read that MKV and read the subtitles the MKV has, with the original font and style it had? I mean, for example, the subtitles Warner had.

The subtitles they originally had are PGS and obviously it doesn't plays them, but detects them, I mean it says SUBS 1, but they don't appear. Is there a way so my Blu-ray can read the subtitles just with the styles and fonts it had on the original MKV? Maybe another format?


There's one thing - I have another rip, that came with english subs that were .idx and .sub., that movie was Happy Feet 2, they were separated on the folder, and my Blu-ray reads them alright on the MKV.. I tried getting the PGS to .idx and .sub but the player fails to decode them, they appear with bugs and can't be read. Get what I mean? But why it does with Happy Feet and not Looney Tunes? The subtitles on Happy Feet 2 are UTC-8 though now it doesn't detects them, the MKVInfo I mean..


I mean, I want any way that my player could read the subtitles somehow similar, as the subtitles are on the original PGS subtitles, that must be hard, but why it does it okay with Happy Feet 2?


Gotta tell also, that maybe they failed, because the shorts are all in one folder, for example LOONEY_TUNES_VOLUME_ONE_BD1, and the shorts have their own name, with subtitles the same title..

are you sure that there aren't .srt subs in the happy feet mkv? that's about all players will accept. you can convert other formats to .srt and then add them to mkv.

english subs that were .idx and .sub

OK

The subtitles on Happy Feet 2 are UTC-8

but that would make them .srt (I take it you mean UTF-8)?

The subs AREN'T in the .MKV, they are separated in the same folder, same exact name. And they play right. But if I convert to srt they won't have the same style, they'd be just text and they'd look wrong on my blu-ray.. but can you tell me how I convert .sub and .idx to .srt in case I don't find any other way?

And yes. I guess it's UTF-8. I mean.. why did it showed the style just like the warner subs, I mean... ? Because .sub and .idx together in the same folder? I tried this but it didn't work, it was bugged, but it read it, but with bugs.. maybe it's because the folder has a different name, and there are different shorts on the folder, all with different name, except their subtitles conterpart..?

i'd try Subtitle Workshop first if it doesn't work there are other sub apps in the tools section.

are you sure they are selectable subs? the original subs could have been hardcoded - burned into the video.

[PonyoBellanote]

With the original MKV I've ripped, I mean they are subs that are optionable, if you get what I mean, not hardcoded, they are selectable.

I tried doing the .sub and .idx on a folder just like the Happy Feet folder, but like I said, the subtitles show, but glitches with fails, can't be seen, just thebugs.

[PonyoBellanote]

Please, I need help. Basically what I want is a way to get my player to read the subtitles just kinda the same style as the warner subs, and no I don't want to hard sub onto the video.. if it did it with Happy Feet 2 why not Looney Tunes?

Btw, the subtitles are HDMV/PGS.

[PonyoBellanote]

I added it to a folder and the same problem exists. It detects it, it reads it, but with bugs and fails.

I use BDSup2Sub.. might be something in the configuration?

It works perfectly fine with VLC, though.
