I tried to combine two guides i found here, first i used ifoedit to get rid of all extras (just the main movie), when i had my vobs and *.ifo and *.bup files i played it with ifoedit and it looked satisfied.
I kept the english audio and dutch and french subs.
As the movie was 2 hours 30 i had to resize it, here i used reMPEG2, and i followed the link i found in the basic guide.
after muxing the *.m2v file whit the vobs i played it again, but the subs where in the right corner and i only could read the first 1 or 2 words. I burned it anyway on a dvd-rw and played the result in power-dvd, which gave the same result (subs in the right side of the screen)
I was able to choose between French and Dutch and the subs changed also.

Then i put the dvd-rw in my standalone to test it and something weird happend there. The subs where perfectly in the middle of the screen where they belong, but in English. I could cicle trough French and Dutch, but the subs kept displaying in English no matter what.

I opend the ifo file on the dvd-rw whit ifo-edit and there it said subs French and Dutch (no English).

Weird no?

I only tried this method once whith "Amadeus" trying an otherone tomorow, i'f anyone is intrested in the result i let u know

Cheers.

Well i did another one. (Proof of Life)
I followed the same steps as before but this time i only kept 1 sub language (as there was only dutch on the original)

At first i followed the ifoedit procedure and kept just the movie 1 language (English) and Dutch subs, I also kept the Warner logo (kinda like that). And the result was perfect.

Then i created a m2v using reMPEG2 (at 77%) and remuxed it with ifoedit. (I did Amadeus at 71%)

Copied the video_ts.ifo and .bup (there is no vts_01_0.vob file, cause ifoedit don't create that after the first step)

Made the movie region free and got the vts sectors.

Then i played it in ifoedit, the warner logo looked great, the subs rocked too, but the quality of the movie was like a gameintro on a commodore64K :scared: (large bloks and screen flickers)

I played the vobs in Powerdvd and the same result. I'm not going to waste any time on burning this as it wont get any better.

I liked this method cause u dont need to interfere alot and this 98-box isnt used for anything else then DVD ripping, so i dont mind it takes long.

Edited from here !!!

I found a thread about the flickering and the bad quality of Proof of Life (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15819&highlight=proof+and+of+and+life), so i guess the above method works, at least with 1 sub language.

I'd like to use the Tmpeg way but i got a little stuck on how to find out the audio bitrate (i ripped the movie on HD whit dvd encriptor and i dont have the original anymore).

In the meanwhile i'll try another whit reMPEG2 and 2 subs.

Cheers and goodnight
