I would just like to know if this method for adding hard subs to a movie that I have would work. I am doing the movie only (no menus) so I was thinking about this method:
1. I have the vob's ripped to my HD.
2. Demux to video stream and audio ac3 stream.
3. Encode video stream with CCE with a script that looks something like this (please tell me what I would need to add, its an ntsc dvd from Japan):
LoadPlugin("c:\program files\GordianKnot\VirtualDub\plugins\Textsub.vdf")
MPEGSource("movie.d2v")
vobsub("subname")
ConvertToYUY2()
Essentially Hard encoding the subs into the video stream. Once I have the video stream with subs (hopefully), I just import the the video and audio streams into muxman and output to video_ts folder. Would this way work? Could I get away with just having dgindex scan the vob's and then encode those or would I HAVE to demux because Im adding subs? Any input and suggestions to make this even easier would be much appreciated. Again my only goal is to have movie only with english subs (non selectable, always on), and japanese audio. So I just want the easiest way to do this. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: You know, I might have actually found a better way to do this, with subtitle creator, subtitle workshop, vobblanker, ifoedit, and muxman. It actually is a method to add or replace subs by demuxing then adding and remuxing with muxman. Then you repair the ifo to correctly display the subs and burn away (assuming you have replaced a sub that existed, if you added a completely new one then you have a bunch more steps with ifoedit to manually correct the ifo's)
I guess my only question left is if it is possible to hard encode text subs into an elementary mpeg video stream as per above?
