I have extracted the files from my DVD, they are all: .BUP; .IFO; .VOB extensions. The DVD is about 4.35 GB in total size. I am trying to re-burn the DVD, this time with English subtitles. The only English subtitles I have found were .SRT extensions. The DVD now has Dutch and German subtitles but I do not know what file they may be. Can I re burn the DVD, this time including the SRT file on the DVD and have the subtitles work? Do I need to convert the .SRT files? Or do you have another suggestion? Do I have convert the .SRT to another format? thanks
You want the English subs 'instead of' or 'in addition to' the others? If it was 'instead of' - I would use Vob2Mpg to create one large mpeg2 file from the main title in your ripped folder. Load the mpeg2 file into DVD Flick then 'Edit title' > 'Subtitle Tracks' > 'Add' to load the your .srt file. Under 'Project Settings' > 'Video' > 'Advanced', ensure that 'Copy mpeg2 Streams' is checked. If it's checked, the .srt file will be converted and muxed to the new DVD instead of encoding the whole project (much longer). I'm assuming that your .srt file lists the correct timing for your DVD.
I have yet to check if the timing is correct. It does not matter if the subs are added in addition to the Dutch and German subs, or just replaces them as I can not read German or Dutch thanks for your assistance
"If it was 'instead of' - I would use Vob2Mpg to create one large mpeg2 file from the main title in your ripped folder." This will take all 36 files ranging from the KB sized files (12-96 KB in size), which are .BUP and .IFO, and a few .VOB, to the large files (1048574KB)which are .VOB and cram them into one MPG? I have been lead to beleive the file "Video_TS.VOB" 30KB in size may be the subtitles, I really do not know
Run Vob2Mpg;browse to the input folder and select an output path. Check box only the Main Title and Extract the files. (the main title is typically composed of a group of 1GB .VOB files grouped under the same name (example VTS_01) VOB files contain video, audio and subtitles. IFO are information files required by the DVD player - BUP are backups of IFO files.
If the .srt files are 25 FPS and the DVD is 23.976, you can load them in Subtitle Creator and use the 'Synchronize' tool to convert them. , then 'Save as'.
