Converting BDN XML subtitles ( + 8-bit PNG images) to Blu-ray-compatible SUP?

[Daiz]

Okay, so I have a BDN XML and 8-bit PNGs to go with them and I'd like to convert them to BD-compatible SUP files (for use with TsMuxeR) without using horribly expensive Blu-ray authoring software like Sonic Scenarist.

Is there any way to do it? I have tried with Sonic Scenarist too, but gave up because I would have had to make a whole BD-disc with it when I only wanted to make SUPs so I gave up with it. And I would prefer free software to begin with.

Example of BDN XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<BDN Version="0.93" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BD-03-006-0093b BDN File Format.xsd">

These subtitles are not created from SRT files. They also can't be converted to SRT without losing some aspects of them, which is why I'm asking for a method to convert these BDN XML + PNG images to Blu-ray compatible SUP.

hello
correct "srt to BDN file (png)" encode in scenarist
but the final job is bad (subtitle in powerdvd is bad, dotty color ??)
