Guide for adding a subtitle on a Blu-Ray Disc keeping the original menu

[Borgqy]

oh sorry , i meant its greyed out in TMT as if there wouldnt be any subtitles on it. (mpls doesnt show a subtitle stream as well in bdedit since its the original mpls)

ok thanx will give it a try

[crl2007]

If you replaced the clpi files from the original folder with the ones created by tsmuxer it is impossible not to work. The clpi files have the same name as the m2ts files.

The other guide will not help you very much because you don't have individual playlists.

[Borgqy]

I did , and in bdedit the clpi shows the pgs stream.On the mpls tab in "STN Table" it shows 0 PG streams though.

edit:
Using the other guide with editing the big mpls it worked.It did output the 2 m2ts as 1 m2ts , however everything seems functional , even the popup menu. Sync etc seems fine as well.

[crl2007]

Yes, but it shouldn't have been greyed out.

And all the chapters and episodes links are functional ? It is important that those too to be functional. If so, this could be a workaround for this kind of discs.

I have never encountered such a disc.

[Borgqy]

Yeah all chapters and episode links seem to work.
Thanks for your help and thanks for the great guide

[crl2007]

Great, good to know. This guides rely on persons like you who share their results with various discs formats.

i tried this on resident evil degeneration but the video streams get remuxed in the wrong order so instead of playing the main movie it plays a secondary stream opening the main movie mpls in tsmuxer reveals the main movie as track 4 but after remux its track 1 the gui must be messing this up as it also changes the 1080 subs to 720 to match the secondary video

[crl2007]

I covered this in the guide. You just simply put the 1080 track first in tsmuxer.

wont that result in the extras link pointing to the wrong stream though? ill report back.

it must be possible to leave it as it is though as bdrebuilder remuxes it into the same place as the original. TSmMuxer commandline input must be more versitile than the GUI

[crl2007]

No, it won't affect anything. tsMuxer is the one that reads some mpls files wrong, and thus for the 2 video streams are reversed in the GUI.

Hello crl2007,

First of all thanks for posting such great tutorial! I have succeeded adding subs and changing some bluray movie menu. But now I'm having trouble with a series bluray.

So I'm trying to add a subtitle to the TV show "The Universe" - It has 3 disks, 5 episodes in each.

Here is the mpls folder of each bluray: http://i40.tinypic.com/4j2b1c.png All 3 folders look like that one. Where 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003 and 0004 mpls files correspond to episode 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. So I add the first mpls file into TSMuxer and this is what I see: http://i42.tinypic.com/i5su9z.png

So I add a subtitle (The original bluray has no subs, this new ones should still work right?), configure those tabs there and create the new files, placing em in the original directories (clipinf and stream respectively) - I do this for all the episodes in the first disk, so 5 episodes.

Then I change the INtime of every mpls file (7 files) and place em in the original directory (playlist, replacing the others). With this done until now I try to play the bluray disk, all works except the subs that are not showing up - are they supposed to show up even though I didn't do the hex edit? If yes, they didn't.

Now the hex thingy I failed to do it cause I have no "biggest mpls file" all my mpls files have the same size, so what am I supposed to do? Edit all the 5 mpls's that contain the 5 episodes?

Thanks and nice work!

You can try to re-author your disc with multiAVCHD. It will do all the hex-thingies for you.

[crl2007]

Yes, here's the guide for multiAVCHD. It will save you the trouble for hex editing. You'll find there a section for series discs too.

[C2D]

Alright. Thanks for the answers - I'll have a look when I find some time to do so. Great work guys really

i've got some anime blu-rays without subtitles that id love to try adding subs to

thanks for this thread

[vamsiklak]

Is it possible to extract subtitles from dvd and add it to bluray
what kinda software do i need to extract fromdvd if so
please help

[deank]

You can use mencoder included in tools folder of multiAVCHD with:

mencoder dvd://1 -dvd-device "D:\VIDEO_TS\" -vobsubout "subtitles" -sid 0 -nosound -o "tempfile.tmp" -ovc frameno

You'll need to change the dvd://N to the title you need to extract subtitles from and -sid N with the subtitle stream you need (0-for the 1st one, 1 for the 2nd, etc...).

Once you get the extracted idx+sub pair you can load the idx in BDsup2sub and create Blu-ray SUP file.

multiAVCHD does that when converting DVD to Blu-ray.

[crl2007]

Updated the guide. Now there is no need for hex editing.

[veggav]

In your tutorial you say that you replace an existing subtitle track.

So is it possible to add a subtitle track to a blu-ray that has no subtitles ?

[crl2007]

Yes, it is. But you'll have to modify the mpls with bdedit too.
