How To Add NEW Subtitles to a DVD and Keep the Menu ! + First MOVIE Tutorial !

[ericf]

I have a problem with step 3: copying of the original files to HD and the authored files overwriting the original ones.
DVD Lab Pro doesn't create a VTS_02_0.VOB which is present on the original DVD.
Is this why I don't get an updated DVD ifo that contains the new subtitles?
It's back to the original content when I do the update.

EDIT: It seems like it worked the second time I tried.
But not the third. I still get the original subs when updating the ifo files.

I wonder what I do wrong.

And I don't have the menus. Since the update is only to the main movie VTS, shouldn't the original files be the same? So the menus should be found without problems?
What is the problem?

It's not that I care that much about menus but I can't make the ifo update correctly whenever I want and if I leave it after finishing DVD Lab Pro I have a prefectly good DVD with new subs but without a menu and extras.

Why can't the update make sure the menues work on the new DVD?
Thanks.

Be careful at the replacing of original vobs. If your movie start with VTS_02_1.VOB and DVDLab output is VTS_01_1.VOB, rename the DVDLab resulted vobs as the originals.

enjoy,

The renaming is not a problem.
Actually, I wasn't able to get the menues to work playing the ts file from my HD but they work in my stand alone player.

However, if the first try at changing the ifo doesn't work I have to replace the (ifo bup menu_vobs) files with fresh ones from the original DVD.
It seems like the update makes those DVD files (ifo bup menu vobs) unusable after failing to update them correctly. You can't update them correctly without fresh files.

Strange that the updates doesn't work all the time.

Another thing I noticed with one of my ripped DVDs was that it came out as letterbox instead of anamorphic as the original DVD is.
Why is that? The file generated by DVD Decrypter and passed through DVDLab Pro tells the program that it's letterbox. I can't make subtitles for 16:9 DVDs.
Any ideas about that?
Thanks.

This method is almost obsolete now. PCdemux, muxman and Vobblanker will do the job and they are all free tools. Furthermore they are quick and convenient.

...PCdemux...Typo. It's PgcDemux.

And I totally agree with ukendt - nowadays the best way of doing it is this:

1. Demux video, audio and subtitles and save celltimes.txt with PgcDemux
2. Create a SUP file with your new subtitles, using SubtitleCreator (better looking subs than in DVDLab Pro)
3. Mux (author) with MuxMan
4. Use VobBlanker to copy the newly muxed main movie PGC back into the old DVD structure.

Wow ok, that WAV thing is something i didnt thought about, nice thinking.

But can you please explain "stretch compensation" you mentioned? didnt quite get it.

The stretch thing is only for making the subs look proper. There was discussing about this earlier in the this thread, its nothing to do with actual syncing. :)

Sorry for late reply.

[ukendt]

Rewrite GOP timecode

[svcdprayer]

please give me instructions how to do so.

Thanks!

[ukendt]

Open dvdlab and do your work. When the m2v file is ready use Tools on the menu bar. Here you will find this tool.

Maybe this is asked before but this post gets very long to read ;).

I'm using vobblanker to replace old vts with new vts.
Now i'm dealing with the polar express wich has multi angle , and those vts are marked as skipped... and replace button is greyed out.
How do i have do the replace trick now ?

When I try muxing with muxman it gives me an error and says it's most likely because of excessive bitrate. What can I do about this, besides lowering the video quality of my original DVD?

[T3NAX]

is there anyone who know a guide "how to insert subtitles in a DVD" with PGCDemux,VobBlanker,SubtitleCreator and Muxman?

thanks

[igorert]

It looks like all screenshots from this guide are gone :( Any chance to restore them somehow? I know there are guides that use other (free) tools but I really liked this one and got used to it...

[ukendt]

Look at the very first post at the buttom....

[zakxos]

excuse me, you say this guide is obsolete

where can I find an up-to-date guide to add subtitles in a DVD?

thanks

[manusse]

Hi zakxos,

You can download SubtitleCreator 2.0.1 and use its dvd authoring wizard to automate and simplify this job.

Cheers
