  • copy subtitles to another DVD ?

    Posted by Enrique Orozco on October 3, 2009 at 4:06 pm

    OK.. I have a DVD from a documentary with spanish subtitles as an option, this was a made a long time ago and the master files no longer exist… now my customer wants basically the same DVD but “re-authored” with some specific chapters and menus… I know how to re-author the whole thing with the new menus but I do not know HOW to extract the subtitles and put them again on the new DVD …is there a way to make this ?? I tried subrip but I get NEW subtitles created from an OCR option that doesn´t look the same… I read somewhere that IFOEDIT tools maybe can help… any help please !!!

    kind regards

    1st – you can use sub-rip and get script + .BMP files from your project
    2nd – try DVDDecryptor’s IFO mode, you can subs like encoded stream
    3rd – tell please your OS, DVD authoring software etc…

    OK… just found my solution….
    1 – “rescue” mpegs and get AC3 from original DVD…and get rid of original menu….
    2 – author a new DVD in DVD architect with full new menus & chapters…no need to add subtitles (the original VOBs have them)…
    3 – checking resultant VOBs in DVDsubedit… the subtitles from the original VOBs are there !!..how to make it appear ???
    4 – use PGCedit (incredible tool) to “switch on” the existent subtitles on my new DVD … it´s done !!! ..last step is just adjust colors on subtitles also with PGCedit….

    good luck !
