Firstly a great big HELLO to all the unique great people here at doom9.
This I'm sure everyone has gathered is my very first post.
I admit to knowing virtually nothing about any topic in this field and I hope to learn anything I can from all the kind experts here who are willing to share their knowledge.
The questions I pose are probably ones that everyone BUT me knows the answers to. And it's probably something that's cumbersome to explain and/or pointless.
So I apologise in advance for this unnecessary trouble I have posed upon this community.
The issue at hand is "hardsubbing". Now I know there's many who think this is pointless.
But I need to explain my situation more clearly first.
I enjoy watching movies on my xda (Pocket PC), and the best movie player for that without a shred of doubt is TCPMP, formerly known as "betaplayer". Currently this great player is lacking support for subtitle files, which I hope will be included in the near future.
Now most films I don't require subtitles so it's just a simple encoding process.
But movies like Appleseed, Spirited Away, Grave of the fireflies, Sky blue, Akira ...etc, where you can't enjoy the movie except in it's original native language is where the problem comes.
The program I use to encode movies to ppc format is an amazing one in terms of quality and lightning speed. It's name is "VEMODE", it's one I don't think many have heard of. But believe me I have tried many encoding programs for PPC avi format and this one tops them all in my experience. It can encode an entire 2hr movie to 320x240 xvid format, 1000 kbits/sec video bitrate, audio mp3 192 kbit/sec, in less than 40mins, THAT'S FAST !!
Unfortunately, this also doesn't have an option to hardsub the output file as of yet.
So finally, after all that build up, is there any option within dvd decrypter to hardsub the subtitle stream into the output vob file during the ripping process ?
If not, is there any other dvd ripping program available that can do a hardsubbing process during the ripping process ?
One method I've already tried is using dvd decrypter in ifo mode, then I've used subrip to extract an srt file from the vob.
Then I've encoded the vob to avi using VEMODE,
and finally I've used another program called AVI RECOMP to hardsub the srt file into the avi.
Now the problem is that AVI RECOMP takes FOREVER !! I can't believe it took nearly 5 times longer than VEMODE whilst eating up 90% cpu power, whereas VEMODE only uses 50% cpu power and is blindingly faster.
And finally if there is no favorable answer to my previous question, after I use dvd decrypter to get my vob file, is there any DECENT avi encoding program available that recognizes vob files AND has an option to hardsub an srt file into the output avi ?
Preferably a fast encoder which doesn't guzzle the entire power of the cpu while its at it.
Thank you for your patience in enduring my long essay, and a great big thankyou in advance to anyone who can help me.
