PS3, HD video (h.264) and subtitles

[florinandrei]

Using tsMuxeR, I muxed a .264 file (1080p), an .ac3 file and a .sup file into a single .m2ts file.

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --vbr --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "C:\hd\test\video.264", insertSEI, contSPS
A_AC3, "C:\hd\test\audio.ac3", lang=eng
S_HDMV/PGS, "C:\hd\test\subs.sup", fps=23.976, lang=eng

The problem is, the PS3 won't play the subtitles.

Is there a way to add subtitles to an HD file (AVC video, container can be whatever works with a UPnP server such as Mediatomb and is easily doable) in such a way as to be compatible with the PS3?

The sup must be the same resolution as the video, sup resolution can be checked with BDSup2Sub.

While that may be an issue. I think the real issue is afaik there isn't any streaming programs that can display subtitltes that aren't hardcoded.

You'll have to playback from DVD/BD or USB HDD in order to get the subtitle support you are looking for.

BDSup2Sub will burn in forced subs correct?

No, the only way to have a sub stream "burned in" is to re-encode the video and use something like avisynth so insert the subs into the image.

[stryker412]

Does Ripbot have that capability?

How do you find out which stream the "forced" subs are in?
