For the longest time I'v been looking for a program that can extract the (bitmaps from) a raw Blu-Ray subtitle stream, and allow them to be merged with your main video stream via an AviSynth plugin. Probably my lack of knowledge in the area, but I don't understand why that doesn't exist yet. I mean, a Blu-Ray player itself can merge them with the video source just fine, without having to resort to silly OCR-ing. So, why is this so hard to do for an external program?
I asked this question about a year or 2 ago too. Then people told me something about subtitles timing and such not yet being fully deciphered and all; which could well be, as Blu-Ray was still rather new then. I was hoping some progress had been made in that area yet. I can't seem to find it here, though. If someone could shed some light on this, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.
