How to edit time code of BD/DVD sup subtitle?

[mariner]

Greetings.

I'm trying to mux the English subtitle of Azur & Asmar DVD to the Spanish Blu-ray. Like most cases of non-English blu-ray release, minor changes were introduced to make it more challenging to swap audio/subtitle. In this case, the blu-ray release starts 6.5 seconds earlier, and has 9 seconds of segment without dialog removed somewhere in the middle.

Is there a software that would accomplish this easily for the English DVD sup subtitle? BDSup2Sub has the capability to edit the time code, but on a line by line basis only, it seems.

Many thanks and best regards.

There is and its name is made off exactly the search keywords you would have used in google:

DVD sub edit (http://download.videohelp.com/DVDSubEdit/).

Thanks Ghitulescu.

1. The manual isn't very clear on how to select subpics from x to y for re-timing,
2. Is it possible delete subpics from x to y?

Thanks for your kind assistance.

1. it is not possible unless X and Y points to START/END of the movie or VobId.
2. not physically, you can make them however invisible.

So the "Re-time selected subpics" button only works for STRT/END?

By setting transparency to 0?

3. SubtitleEdit 3.36 has the facility to edit selected range of time-codes, but I couldn't figure out how to save the edited info into xml/png or sup. Any help?

Many thanks.

Use File -> Export -> XYZ

This will basically create new subtitles though, based on the ones acquired by the OCR of the original subtitles, so they will probably look different and spelling errors may be introduced because of the not 100% reliable OCR process.

Why don't you read the help?
You can retime all subpics, only one (current subpic) or an entire VobId. Or make combinations of all three methods. This can be extended (or restricted) to all languages or only to a single one.

Thanks for the reply, sneaker_ger and Ghitulescu.

Not doing any OCR stuff. Just modifying the tine-cod while keeping the others (png, x y position, etc..) intact. SubtitleEdit can't seem to do this without messing up the xml.
