SVCD subtitles from a .sub file?

[qtip2k]

Hi,

I have a svcd-compatible mpg file already encoded with two audio-streams. Now I want to add svcd-subtitles so I can select them on a stand-alone dvd player. I don't want permanent subtitles.

Until now, I always used DVD2SVCD to rip and convert DVDs with subtitles to svcds but this movie isn't ripped from a DVD. I've tried to mux the subtitles with winsubmux but it can't handle the file format of the subtitle file since it uses with dvd2svcd hundreds of .bmp-files.

My subtitle file is in this format (it has the ending .sub):

1
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,236
...so here is the first subtitle

2
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,994
here is the next and so on...

Does anybody know how I can convert this subtitle-file so I can mux it to my svcd-file with selectable subtitles on my dvd-player?

Thanks for help,

q-tip

I haven't done this myself, but try Subadjust to convert your .sub to SSA and use MaestroSBT to generate your bmps and the script ... either for I-author or winsubmux.
All tools are on doom9's software page.

I'm not sure what format that is (maybe from subripper?) but try this. Open the file in SubResync, it comes with the VobSub package. If it can open the file try and save as type winsubmux in a different directory.

EDIT: I did a little test and it is subripper's format. Subresync can't convert it to winsubmux format, but it can convert it to ssa. SO just do a forum search to figure out where to go from there.

I have tried it the way smiller667 has suggested and it worked!

Many thanks to both of you,
