    Hello.

    A friend took it upon himself to make his own subtitles, for a Thai DVD of mine (the English subtitles on it are ok, but could be improved).

    He has, however, put his name into the subtitles - in one or two places - as a signature of sorts.

    While I appreciate these efforts, I would like to not have these entries.

    How can I most simply take out individual subtitle entries and then author the disc again (ideally, to create an image file)?

    Thanks!

    Rip the DVD to the hard drive.
    Run DVDSubEdit
    1.File => Open Full Domain (select VTS_01_1.VOB)
    2.Select the subtitle stream
    3.Step to the sub
    4.Press Ctrl-h to erase it - continue to step and erase as required
    5.Final step is to save the subpics - Note that the change is immediate and cannot be undone.

    I read the "cannot be undone" and so that hints that the save is immediate and that there is no re-authoring required. Is that correct?

    It's just then a matter of burning as normal? That would be very cool.

    Thanks.

    I believe that only the .ifo file is changed and the VIDEO_TS folder can be burned immediately.

    Beautiful. I'll give you an in-thread report, asap (max 24hrs).

    Thanks.

    EDIT:

    It does work straight away, does not require re-authoring and you can burn the files immediately or create an image from them.

    Thanks. I am sure to use this tool in the future - for various tasks.
