Hi guys! Sorry if i posted to the wrong forum since i didnt check the forum for so many years, so im quite rusty at the moment.
Lets say i have blue-ray disc and i want to add divx subtitle (srt for example) to it ?
Is it possible and what tools do i have to use for it?
To get a picture i want to make with blue ray similar that i have done with dvds. which is remove audios and subtitles from dvd wich i dont want and added subtitles from srt to dvd
Is that possible to do with blue ray? What tools do i need to use?
and if possible any Guides how you guys do it since im a bit rusty.
Thanks!

RipBot264 will if you plan on encoding video and getting movie only it's probably the easiest way and if you plan on hitting a target size it will get very close to it but only DTS and AC3 audio currently.
If you can do with just movie only and don't want to encode the video TSMuxer accepts srt input and it's a fairly straightforward gui, just load the large m2ts or for keeping original chapters or if the movie is spread across many small M2TS files the mpls file.
If you plan on keeping menus and extras it's currently not really workable to just add a subtitle at least without breaking the popup menu, this is being discussed here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144980) Which you can try then if you need to encode from that use BD-Rebuilder which is the only tool currently that encodes while keeping menu/extras.

cool, thanks, what if for some reason i need to adjust srt subtitles with blu-ray video. how to do that?
for dvds synching subtitles, with audio and video i used virtualdub with srt plugin i think it was gabest or something like that.
also can you guys tell me what is the best program to use to watch blu-ray ripped movies from hard drive? i heard rumors that powerdvd dosent allow that anymore?
thanks!

You can use the same thing for syncing with bluray audio/video. The few times I've done this I just look at time stamps in a player though and can usually get 'close enough' for me by editing one line in subtitle workshop and letting it adjust the other times automatically.
I won't say there's a best, I use PowerDVD8 which I'm starting to dislike more and more each day for menus/extras for movie only I usually use MPC-HC but it sometimes has it's issues.
For menus/extras other options are PowerDVD 7.3, WinDVD9, Arcsoft TotalMedia Theater all of which fully support BD and play from folders on hard drive, PowerDVD8 only plays from disk and mounted images. PowerDVD9 seems to have many issues and I wouldn't even consider it an option at this time.
For movie only virtually every player will play the audio/video as long as you have a splitter and a decoder installed. Some players like MPC(-HC) SMplayer and VLC can get by without though. Only MPC-HC supports BD subs as far as I know.
