A TINY feature request??? !
You're talking about muxing, and that is no tiny request! Muxman is the way to go for that, there's no doubt in my mind, and if I ever was foolish enough to try to replicate that (at least the subpic part), I could only do a half-ass job compared to muxman.
The most I can envision is a semi-automatic way to invoque pgcdemux and muxman as part of DVDSubEdit, to make the job a bit easier for the user. But the demuxing/muxing is better left to programs that have been specifically developed for that, and are very good at it!

i was thinking in something more or less like this:

i dont know if this is possible and how difficult it is to do

1-open the unencrypted dvd with dvdsubedit
2-semi automatically "call pgcdemux" to demux the main movie
3-load an srt sub and "call srt2sup" or another to create a sup file
4-"Call muxman/ifoedit" to mux the movie again with the newly created sub

would be a great help for newbies(lots of posts on the foreign doom9 forums) about how difficult it is to do it, and by having the aplications "closer" would be agraet help i think.

Keep on the good work

Ricardo

Well, there's an additional step since the IFOs must be synchronized with the newly created vob file...
My take is that this does not fit well the DVDSubEdit framework. It seems to me that someone could write a tool to do that, using a very simple language, since all you need to do is invoque other tools. You could do that in visual basic, or in pearl, or in tcl-tk. I'm not sure DVDSubEdit is the place for that.

This exact feature is already made ... in SubtitleCreator! Try the wizard in the Tools menu in SubtitleCreator. As a further step it will even allow you to copy the newly muxed main movie PGC into the old DVD structure to keep menus, etxras etc.

DVDSubEdit is finally out of beta!
Version 1.0 is now available here...



Here's the change log from beta 0.90
  • Added code to crop subpic to the bare minimum width, allowing horizontal moving. This can be applied to all in the usual manner.
  • Added option to move subpics flush with the nearest border.
  • The main window is now resizable. I cleaned up a lot of the display code, in an attempt to make things faster and cleaner.
  • The main window can also be minimized, or maximized, imagine that! The size and position are saved from session to session.
  • DVDSubEdit no longer needs the CLUT to identify the pixels used for the characters.
  • Added a "Auto CLUT" check box to show the main text pixels in white, and all others in black.
  • Added option to load an IFO file after loading a SUP file (this one just for CoNS!).
  • Improved the OCR code, especially with regards to identifying word boundaries
  • Fixed a bug that caused the app to crash if you fast reloaded a vob that was no longer there.
  • Fixed the infamous "display freezes, app starts writing all over" bug! A brush wasn't being released....
  • DVDSubEdit no longer crashes if you quit while running the OCR function.
  • The "save subpic to ppm" option was shrinking the subpicture by a factor 2. This has been fixed.
  • Removed the trailing '\n' at the end of the last line in the OCR output display.

Thanks CoNS, i didnt knew about that!
I tried the method and it worked but the subtitle color is messed up(not the one i choose with subtitle creator)

I tried using dvdsubedit to change the subtitle color but it seems it can only change one "subtitle line" at a time.

If you want to change half of a subtitle (for example the top line and not the bottom) dvdsubedit can't do it.
If you want to change ALL subtitle colors, simply do it for 1 subtitle, then go to the Edit menu and click "Apply change to all subpics". This will modify all the subpics that you have currently selected.
This applies to all other modifications as well...

Yes it's not .srt yet, but I have that on my todo list. Somebody pointed me to the format, so it should be easy now...

svcdprayer, if you're interested in testing the "save as .srt" option, I'm done with it (but I don't have any tool to test it myself). Send me an email at jeanldvd at free dot fr and I'll send you the latest version...

Guys, I've put a new version (1.0.5) of DVDSubEdit for you to test. It's unofficial, so I'm not making a big deal of it.
Find it here:
http://www.videohelp.com/~DVDSubEdit...bEdit1.0.5.zip

Improvements are:
- Added function to hide hearing-impaired text. Subtitles that are completely enclosed between [] or () are hidden. Text enclosed between brackets is erased. This is preliminary, test it and tell me what you think! Run the OCR first, of course!!!
- Changed the display mechanism, it is now much much faster! I'm happy with that!
- Improved the OCR speed (by only passing the useful part of the subpic to the GOCR)
- Fixed the "save as txt" function to save as a proper .srt file.

As usual, let me know what you think!
jeanl

OCR is working fine but it doesn't recognize danish letters like Å, Æ, Ø.
Any chance to fill this in?

I thought it did recognize some of them? I'm really sorry but upgrading GOCR is very difficult, the way it's written. If it was simply a database, it would be easy to expand it, but it's not. It's all hard-coded in a large number of C-functions, each dedicated to detecting 1 or 2 characters!!! Unmanageable...

I'm not complaining though... It works really well *most* of the time...

Version 1.1 of DVDSubEdit is now available here...


Main new feature is the ability to erase parts of subtitles bracketed with '[' or '(' or to detect music notes.

Here's the change log from Version 1.0
  • Added an OCR setup panel with options for OCR, and hearing-impaired text removal.
  • Added menus to hide/erase hearing-impaired text in subtitles. The remaining text can be optionally recentered or realigned.
  • GOCR now recognizes (most?) music notes. They are marked as '#' in the output text.
  • Added ability to move subpics with the mouse. Just grab and move!
  • Improved the display mechanism, it is now much much faster.
  • DVDSubEdit now lets you reload individual (or all) SPUs from a sup file (undo).
  • The "Open vob file" dialog now allows selecting several vobs.
  • The various save and open dialogs (vob, sup, ppm and srt) now independently remember their default directories. Very convenient.
  • When opening a sup file, the dialog to optionally load the IFO now defaults to the same directory the sup file was in.
  • Added "Go to" field to go to a specific spu (Ctrl-G).
  • Fixed common 'o'->'Q', 'V'->'Y', 'z'->'_', ':'->'_' OCR mistakes.
  • Improved the OCR speed when the subpic background occupies the full frame.
  • The "save as txt" function now saves as a proper .srt file.
  • Added a couple shortcuts (Home and End now go to first and last SPU in current selection).
  • Added display of "percent done" in progress dialog.
  • The built-in pdf doc (shortcut: F1) is (nearly) up-to-date.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the small progress dialog to not close properly if the main window was minimized.
  • Last but not least: The file version number now matches the actuall version number (this one for blutach!)

Thanks to CoNS for many tests, and many many suggestions for improvements.
Feedback is most welcome!
Enjoy...
Jeanl

Amazing progress, indeed. But i'm (and maybe a few others)still looking for a feature. Perhaps you can find some place ( and write some code ) for a ckeckbox called "Only show forced subpics" ?
