DVD Maestro and subtitles

[WinuX]

Hi!

I thought this would be easier than it was...I explain my problem:
I borrowed my friend's DVD to back it up. I ripped it and have the ifo's, vob's and all that. Now I want to re-auth it because I want a subtitle in it (there wasn't any swedish at the original dvd). When I opened DVDMaestro I saw that you need .m2v and .ac3. I demuxed it and add it. No problem so long. But, when you adds the subtitle (.son) a popup says that it's not allowed because of the timecode. I checked it up and saw nothing wrong with it. Then I tested to re-encode a small part of the film in TMPGEnc (ES, video only) and add it into DVDMaestro. Now when I add the subtitle it works. It's the same file. I don't want to re-encode the whole file (it takes time and you loss quality), I want to de-mux so it will work in DVDMaestro.

I have tested a lot of programs, like: bbtools, vobrator, vobedit, xmuxer, tmpgenc and so on. Nothing works.

What program can fix this and how should I do? I hope there is a way around the re-encode thing because I don't want to do that...

Thanks!

I would try using smartripper to process the streams as you rip the dvd. See if that works. It's never failed for me, and I only use Maestro. However, I've never messed with subtitles.

Its a problem appearing a lot in this form. Every studio offsets its assets by an hour or so. It helps them organizing things. However it poses a slight problem to us.

Do a search about subs and Maestro u will find a lot of ansers about it.
