Adding subtitles to Band of Brothers

[liiver]

Hi.

I have a problem with Band of Brothers DVDs. I want to add my native languge (Estonian) subtitles to Band of brothers Dvds, but i cant fid any proper guide for that. The DVD contains 2 episodes and they are in ome titleset VTS_01_1-VTS_01_5 And there are PGC1 for episode 1 and PGC2 for episode2. How can i even demux it. When i demux it with vobedit, i get a big audio file so that both of the episode audio tracks are tofether, first episode one, then episode 2 after it. and also the subtitles i rip. But the video file is weird. its also a big file and half of it (1st episode) is playable and the second half is not. How should i do it?

Please see the stickies about text.
U don't demux with vobsub: U demux with Vobedit.
If U mean how to rip then use dvddecrypter with pgc enabled.
If U use subrip, choose the relevant ifo and the proggy will OCR the relevant text

If you demux (http://www.doom9.org/dvddec.htm) your DVD with DVD Decrypter in IFO mode you'll get video and audio files. Go to settings and tell the program not to split the outcoming files, so you avoid unplayable videofiles.

Then if you reathor (http://www.doom9.org/mpg/dvdauthoring.htm) the DVD you may add the subtitles that you want.

ok, now i have more questions.

How do i get the PGC enabled in DVDdecrypter and what does it do? Right now i have these settings in IFO mode as on the picture here (http://www.hot.ee/liiver/untitled.PNG)
When i demux it like heideki said then I get separate VOB files for pgc1 and then i demux pgc2 and i get another VBO file. So now i understand i can demux them into separate m2v and ac3 files and then add the subtitles for each one. But how can i reauthor them together again, that i get 1 titleset and 2pgcs. The point is i would also like to keep the menu and then choose from there which episode id like to play. I checked the DVDAuthoring guides but which one would be suitable to do that?

Thanks for the answers so far though.

I guess that you have text-based Estonian titles, or you want to translate it yourself. In that case you need first to make OCR rip with Subrip.
If you want to add existing subs, which you downloaded from somewhere you need first to check them - are they syncronised to DVD. You can do it easiest with Media Player Classec after some settings by need.

If not synced, then you need to correct titles timing with some program like Subtitle Workshop, Subrip or other. After checking it you may go to authoring.

I think that there is no programm which can import menus from existing DVD's and use (and edit) them while create ne structure. Of course with some skill you may demultiplex video and audio from menus and import it in authoring programm, but there is still lot of work by complexer menus.

so there is no guide available now or tool, that can author multiple PGC titlesets? But can i edit something with menuedit to put the right episode to the right button?


EDIT:

I can make episodes like separate VTS files. For example i author episode 1 as VTS_01_1-VTS_01_x and episode 2 as VTS_02_1-VTS_02_x. What command or smth should i put in the menuedit that when i press the "Play episode 2" button, then it will link to VTS_02_1.vob file?

How do i get the PGC enabled in DVDdecrypter and what does it do?
It's right on the picture U sent, look closely under "File names"
When PGC is enabled U'll get separate rips for ur pgcs
Then remux every pgc with audio and the subs U want(U may use ifoedit among others). When finished U have to reauthor the dvd with ifoedit in order to correct pointers or use ifoupdate for EACH ifo U reauthored although those freeware progs do not warrantee a good final result. Nevertheless I achieve mostly fine results if I keep only 1 sub in each pgc
