How can i have 2 different subtitles on the movie?

[Zamalek]

Hey guys , i am new in this forum and this is my first post ! i would like to know how can i put 2 different subtitles on a film? for example i want to have the English subtitle and under it the arabic subtitle. because i am trying to improve my english skills so it helps me to see the english words and under that the translation , when i downloaded 2 different subtitles 1 worked and the other didn't because the name of the film can't match the same name of the 2 other files because each file must have their name and can't be duplicated , even if it worked the 2 subtitles will come over each other not sequences like english translation up and under english subtitles the arabic one, i would like to know how to merge both in sequence , thanks !

Hardcode one with the vertical position you want and have your player display the other.

could you explain more please !

You re-encode your video hardcoding subtitles one, ie making them part of the re-encoded video.
When this is played you have your player display subtitle two.

An example hardcoding english with MediaCoder and played by VLC:



You should realize, however, that in order for your scheme to be succesful your two subtitles should preferbly come from the same source, ie DVD/BD.

Another option: use DirectVobSub and ffdshow subtitle filter at the same time,
one for the English subs and the other for the Arabic subs,
--- you must adjust the placement manually, of course.

As long as you're hardcoding, you could do both sets at the same time. Here's an example of three different subs in the same video:

It's a sample for a guy that wanted to see subs in different colors. Here's the AviSynth script used:

AVISource("Sample.avi")
VobSub("Sample.idx")
VobSub("Sample2.idx")
VobSub("Sample3.idx")

Those are VobSubs with the vertical position and colors adjusted. It could just as easily be done with text subs such as SSA or ASS, in which case you'd use the TextSub filter. Most encoders accept AviSynth scripts as input.

If you go to:

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/310387-DVD-software-player-raise-subtitles-to-top-o...eous-subtitles

and scroll down, there is a free software player that displays simultaneous subtitles when playing DVDs. The screenshots show how to do this. However, I don't know if the software player will display simultaneous subtitles when playing a single video file with 2 subtitle files. I can ask and post an answer with screenshots in a few days.
Important: what format are your 2 subtitle files, and what format is your video file? Can you reply with a link where I can download the 2 subtitle files?
If you do that, I can determine whether it can work.

@all --- apologies for the O.T.

@jimdagys --- what's wrong in your computer?

Has he said his movie is a DVD? Will this player also allow for 2 simultaneous sub tracks for other video formats? And if so, how about a real link instead of a useless picture with Chinese text.
