Muxing vobsub subtitles back into vob file

[julesh]

On a related note to the question immediately below, what tool would be useful for adding subtitles as provided by vobsub (i.e. images in a .sub file with separate timestamps for them in a .idx file) into a vob file? The tool I would normally use (spumux, from the dvdauthor package) doesn't support this format.

I only know a program which can remux VobSub to DVD structure. It's VSO ConvertXtoDVD, but it's not free!

All available Free tools to mux DVD structure: MuxMan & DVDAuthor, are based on .SUP format, and Scenarist bitmapped format (SST).... (correct me if I wrong)

1. Convert .idx/sub pair to .SUP with Subtitle Creator tool
2. Re-mux .m2v + .ac3/.mpa + .sup with MuxMan
3. Use VobBlanker/DVDRemake Pro to Remake menu
(All processes can be automated by SubtitleCreator's DVD authoring wizard)

Or

1. Convert .idx/.sub to Scenarist format with SubResynch (part of VobSub package)
2. Remake with MuxMan free/DvdLab Pro (not free)

Or

1. OCR your idx/sub file to .srt with SubRip or convert idx/sub to .SUP with Subtitle Creator and OCR with SupRip or DVDSubEdit
2. Convert srt to SUP with SubtitcleCreator (or srt->ssa->SON with Subtitle WorkShop+MaestroSBT and SON->VoBSub with Son2VobSub and VobSub->SUP with Subtitle Creator)
3. Mux with Muxman free
4. Remake with VobBlanker (free)/DVDRemake Pro (not free)

It's your Choice!
