Hi, it is possible using vob2sub to rip subtitles from as SVCD or a CVD and to use them for subbing an SVCD or CVD with the help of winsubmux. However, what can one do so as to use them for subbing a DVD? Is there a way of converting winsubmux type of files to, for example, .srt? The format of SVCD and CVD subs ripped with vob2sub is a) a text file with the sufffix .sub referring to the timings, size and position of a number of subtitle images in BMP format and b) the said images (BMPs). I have subtitled lots of italian operas to greek and did not keep the original text files, alas. Now that DVDs have became cheap, I would like to use my original DVDs so as to burn them with the subs I made on a writable DVD. Unfortunately, DVD companies do not offer greek subs for italian operas. Any help or suggestion is welcome. Anna from Athens
Hi. I haven't done much with subtitles so all I can tell you is Subtitle Workshop is a freeware that can convert lots of formats. I've used it a couple of times to convert between .sub and .srt
Thanks for the suggestion. Subtitle workshop, alas, does not recognize the .sub plus BMP images format. Anna
have a look here, you might find a converter that will do. Kalh tyxh http://dvd.box.sk/index.php?pid=soft&prj=list&tools=subtitle&pol=16
Efharisto! Thanks for the link, I'll look into it. Solution found, at last! It is not free, though. Lemony subtitler does a perfect job out of it. I have only tried the crippled shareware version and had to replace the comma with a a colon or period in the original .sub file created by winsubmux and then do some search and replace in the output file. The result was excellent. I got a scenarist compatible file referring to the BMP images. Lemony can be fount at http://www.jorgemorones.com/lemony/title.htm
