Editing .Sup files

[agastopia]

Hey guys, I'm trying to do something I thought that wouldn't be too hard but I can't seem to find the proper way to do it.

I have a Japanese movie with English subtitles, but the blu-ray rip also has an audio track for english music. The issue is that the subtitles include the english translation of the songs when I only need/want the japanese subbed. Using subtitle edit, I can easily delete all of the images that I want gone, but then Subtitle edit just saves it as a .srt and loses all of the data. I can't find a way to just edit the .sup file directly and delete the few unnecessary subtitles without converting the entire thing to a .srt and then removing them.

Any help would be much appreciated

Subtitle edit lets you save subs as sup as well,its in the settings and menu.

You will need the latest beta for that: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases/download/3.5.18/SubtitleEditBeta.zip
Use File - Import - Blu-ray (.sup) subttile file for edit... here you can delete lines and re-save your .sup file (with original positions).

Edit: You can also export from the OCR window, right-click in the list view and choose Export... but positions will be re-made.

Thank you so much!

This worked perfectly for me, the .sup file I have now is exactly what I wanted. My issue now is that I just can't seem to get MKVtoolnix to properly merge it with the original file. I removed the unnecesary audio tracks and set the proper ones to default and forced, so the multiplexer is working correctly but for whatever reason I can't get my edited .sup to appear.

In my input, I have the original mkv, I drag in my new file, select "append" to existing, and then deselect all of the subtitles that I don't need. But everytime it finishes multiplexing, my sub either isn't there or is blank when I select it.

edit: figured it out, had to add, instead of append. Thanks!
