Subtitles

Post by ommik »

Any idea if Movie Factory would already support embedded subtitles in TS file? DVBSUB is a standard in Europe but so far have not figured out if and how MF 7 would find them from the Stream.

Tried to ask this question directly to Corel but for some reason all attempts to create the question online fails..

I've never done that but I think Muxman (Free - $35 USD) can probably do it. It doesn't look like a user-friendly program, but I think it's very powerful.

Most of turorials I've looked-through in the past have involved using a subtitle extraction utility to extract the subtitles to a text file (with optical character recogintion). Then with another utility you can edit the text file and time stamps for the particular format required by your DVD authoring software. To me, it didn't seem worth the trouble. It's probably easier to create the subtitles manually, unless you are doing this a lot.

Here are some websites where you might be able to get some help with "video hacking" (unusual or advanced audio/video tasks):
AfterDawn.com
VideoHelp.com
DigitalFAQ.com

And if you are hacking DVDs, PgcEdit (FREE!!!) is a handy tool.
