Announcing DVDSubEdit Version 1.51
Announcing DVDSubEdit:
Beta 0.62 of DVDSubEdit can be found here... (Now Version 1.51) (this image represents version 1.34) DVDSubEdit allows you to visualize and make modifications to the subpics (subtitles or button highlights in menus) directly inside the VOB files, without the need to demux and remux the subpic stream. DVDSubEdit has the following features:
As usual, feedback is welcome on this thread! jeanl DVDSubEdit Beta .62 - The application is now called DVDSubEdit (I slightly altered ricardo.santos' suggestion here!). - The subpic language is displayed in the stream selectiong drop-down. The display can change as you go through the SPUs as they might be referenced by different PGCs with different stream setups. - When opening a "middle" vob in a vts (e.g. VTS_01_2.VOB), the first subpic was often displayed the wrong way (not CLUT and no background video) because no navpack had been found prior to the subpic pack. DVDSubEdit now skips the first subpic pack if no navpack can be found before it. - Tried to improve (but didn't succeed entirely) the display of the first subpic (flickering etc).

Thanks starip_old! I don't know about exquisitely designed (the UI is still missing a face lift!), but I feel the app is fairly robust at this point.
Now, I just have to add a few features that people on this forum have asked for... Moving subpics toward the center (rather than up/down), etc etc etc... jeanl

This is awesome - I especially love the DCQST command list. I believe this is the first tool that actually shows the make up of the sub packet commands. I don't seem to be able to alter the transparency level though. |

And no, you can't change the transparency yet. This will be easy to do though, but will require 4 sliders (you have to be able to change it for each type of pixel...). jeanl

(I do remember a DVD where the subpics were forced that way, not burned into the video, but forced by a FSTA_DSP, and the user had no way to turn them off, took me a while to understand why that was the case)... jeanl

I've put an unofficial Beta 0.63 here.
The transparency slider is now enabled so you can change the transparency of individual pixel types, or of all the pixels. DVDSubEdit is (somewhat) smart in that it attempts to detect which pixel type is actually used for the background and does not change its transparency when you select "all pixels". (that way, the background remains transparent no matter the transparency of the "useful" pixels). This new feature allows you to "remove" subpics by making them transparent. You can also use the slider to visualize highlights in menus (which are normally transparent in their default state). Let me know what you think... Jeanl

Fantastic, Jean!
Hope we can integrate this tool into PgcEdit. I'm working on a simple subtitle plugin for PgcEdit. But its very usefull (and better) to integrate this feature in your program. Feature request - Set subpictures as forced in the Vobs. (and reverse) Changing the start display command 01h into forced start display 00h in the DCSQT can do that. There is much misunderstanding about forced subpictures in the world. But real forced subtitles must have this start command 00h. You also can manually set some subpictures of a stream as forced that can't be switched off. This feature is used in LordOTR (PAL 2). If subpics are switched off then only the (forced) alien dialog from the german sub stream is displayed. You don't need a separate stream for forced subs, you can force them in the current stream. My dvd players (with Omega chip set) can continuously resize the picture. Very nice feature I'm missing in new devices. So I can enlarge 2.35 movie format to fill the 16:9 screen. But if I use resizing then normal subpictures disappear (switched off). Only forced subpictures are staying on their place. [edit]Huhh. bigotti5 had the same request.

good work!
It's been years we needed such a tool!
Very promessing for translating subpictures into movies. Do you think it'd ever be possible to substitute a subpicture or a sequence of subpictures by another? Thanks! Promitheas

Now we have mpucoder's explanations which are quite a bit more detailed:
