Hey there.
I've been using DVD2SVCD for some time now and think I'm pretty comfortable with most of the settings etc now, and altogether I must have used it to rip about 50dvds give or take.
One thing I've never tried doing with it though, is to do the subtitles as an extra on the disc, so I'm a bit unsure as to how to go about making them and which option is the best.
I used to make the rips as SVCD 2 or 3pass vbr,48khz,sometimes 2 audio tracks, and will put 50-60minutes per 80minute cd at most, but now I've recently started doing them in similar settings but as CVD which seems to work great.
Firstly, for ripping the subtitles, DVD2SVCD gives the option for SVCD subtitles, or CVD subtitles.....what actually is the difference? just lower resolution for the cvd ones?
In which case, if I was making an SVCD would I have to choose SVCD subtitles, and CVD subs for a CVD movie or can they be mixed?
Also, do the subtitle tracks take up much space on the overall cd so should I take into account the subtitle space and make the cd playtime length significantly smaller to allow for the subs?
Lastly, will these subs work no problem too for those discs that have novelty features on their subs, such as the silhouettes talking in the audio commentary subtitle track for ghostbusters, as these are my main reasons for wanting to use them, especially for the new monty python & the holy grail movie with its different tracks.
many thanks for your help,
Tuck
