View Full Version : Multiangle - adding subtitle stream

I often add custom made subtitles to my backups, following this method:

1. Demux main movie using PgcDemux
2. Convert txt subtitles to bitmap subtitles (SUP file) using SubtitleCreator
3. Mux/reauthor using MuxMan
4. Copy the newly authored main movie PGC into the original DVD structure using VobBlanker

But, alas, for the first time in this process I have now encountered a multiangle disc. When I select the main movie PGC for demuxing in PgcDemux, I have the option of selecting one of five angles (it's a children's DVD with 5 different languages on it).

For various reasons I would like to keep all of the languages on the disc (and keep the menus etc.), but replace one of the existing subtitle streams with a new one. I have a feeling that the above mentioned method won't work in this case... How do I do it, then? TIA :)

The above question is probably caused by lack of knowledge of how multiangle PGCs work.

I assume I would have to demux the PGC with each of the angles, and then somehow mux it back together restoring the structure with the five angles. :confused:

Can someone please confirm if this is right, and more importantly which tools to use?

I can demux the entire PGC in question five times, with each of the five angles, using PgcDemux, but is this the way to go? And how do I use the output? AFAIK MuxMan (at least the latest freeware version) cannot deal with angles?

AFAIK, Muxman is not able (yet) to manage angles.

Not easy what you want to do...., but not, IMHO you have to demux by VOBID, and remux the angles (different VOBIDs) with a muxer able to do it (Scenarist, I guess)

Do you want to preserve all the angles? If you keep only one, it will be easy.
