Which program to modify sentence?

[Deckerr]

Hi all

I am having a hard time trying to work out which programs I need to use to modify subtitles from a dvd, I'm getting nowhere fast! I have 1 subtitle stream and I would like to change the wording in some sentences and delete some sentences as well.

Can anyone recomend any programs that will do this?

:thanks:

There are two ways of doing, both of them requires some work on your part:

First of all, as you probably already know, the subtitles on your DVD are bitmap images, not text.

One way to achieve what you want is to extract these bitmap images (demux subpic stream with PgcDemux and save as BMP files using SubtitleCreator or Srt2Sup) and delete some of them and/or edit others with a normal graphic editor (to remove words inside a sentence etc.). Afterwards, put it all back together by creating a SUP file out of the bitmap images (using Srt2Sup) and mux it together with video/audio using MuxMan.

Another way is to convert your bitmap subs to text (using SubRip's OCR function) directly from the DVD. Then edit the .srt file deleting the unwanted lines/words and create a new SUP file with bitmap subs (this can all be done in SubtitleCreator). Demux the original DVD using PgcDemux and put it all back together, including your new SUP file, using MuxMan.

If you want to keep the menus of the original DVD, you'd have to use the Replace PGC function in VobBlanker (or IfoUpdate) afterwards....

Thanks that worked great.

I used the second technique as there were too many bitmap images (1515) and it was quicker to edit as a text file and there was only 600 lines. Don't know why there is such a difference will try and check it out when I have more time.

I'm glad it worked :)
