I downloaded a movie from a friend thats 3 files. AVI, IDX, and SUB. I think its supposed to have english sub titles or dubbed. But when I burn it, its just Japanese. How do I get Nero to recognize, the IDX, and SUB files?
I think you need to make sure the avi file and the sub file have exactly the same name and nero should automatically recognise it. Im not 100% sure on this because i use convertx, and thats what i have to do with subtitle files
AFAIK, Nero still does not support subtitles. Among the free applications, DVD Flick can convert AVI to DVD and add subtitles - but it can only handle text type subtitles - not the image based files. These type of files have to be OCR'ed to text format before they can be used by DVD Flick. Run SUB2SUP and convert the SUB/IDX file to .SUP format. Run DVDSubedit => File => Open .SUP File It will ask for an .IFO file, click 'Cancel' On the lower right of the window, click 'Run OCR', then 'Save as .srt' You can, optionally, open the .srt file in a spell checker and resave as .srt file. Use DVD Flick to convert the AVI file to DVD and add the .srt file as the subtitle source. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/SubToSup http://download.videohelp.com/DVDSubEdit/ http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/dvd_flick.cfm
OK I finally got around to figuring out how to do it. I went to the DVIX web site and downloaded DirectVobSub http://download.divxmovies.com/VobSub_2.23.exe installed it, and Windows Media player finds the sub title file. Thanks for the help.
