Um, I think if you have FFshow on your comp you can do it. You just have to left-click on the tray icon, click on the "Subtitle" menu entry and then browse for the subtitles on your comp (while the .vob file is running). If you view it with WMP first, you can do all that prior to burning and it should remember where the subs are.

I'm trying to do the same with the Nyokei Kazoku discs you sent me: extract the subs, extract the mpeg2, merge the two and re-author with an English menu. :sweat:

There's at least two versions in existence: one was broadcast on KXLA-44 with awful italic Times Roman fonts which I recorded and subsequently bungled the disc-to-PC transfer and a subbed version from Hong Kong/Taiwan (available at yesasia.com) which has excellent video quality, but a so-so subtitle translation to Engrish, er, English. :beaten:

I can't find FFshow. Found FFDshow. D/L and installed it. Now what?
What happens if you use Windows Media Player to run the .vob file? Does the FFdshow icon appear in your tray?
Edit: You could always try SRT2Sup as at http://dvd.box.sk/index.php?pid=soft&prj=list&tools=subtitle&pol=20
Nothing happens with FFDshow. It never shows in my tray. I think it only works with avi or mpeg... not with vob.
Anyway...I don't watch dramas on my monitor... I want the full detail views on my TV not the squinchy detailess monitor almost pictures.
I think I have my route now.
I have no choice. Have to convert DVD to mpeg.
convert .srt to .ssa
Synchronize the subs with the video in Media Subtitler (so far works great and it's free).
It will embed the synched subs in the video.
Then back to DVD...Yipee...
Then author with TEMPGnc DVD author.
You will need the support of tmpgenc if you are to use ffdshow for permanent subtitling. That alone can't do the trick since it is only a decoding filter. Check out this link from videohelp http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=153058
That reminds me, you'll probably want to get BeSweet too as a compliment. Once ripping into streams, often times you'll be left with an AC3 audio file. TMPEGenc 2.5 can't read it. Transcode the AC3 into .mp2 or something else with BeSweet. Also free.

I downloaded the Shinobi movie the other day. I burned it to DVD yesterday, and when I tried it in my DVD player, the audio is about 2 seconds behind the video :( The subs seem to be OK (Soft subs)
Here's what I have/used -
Original file - .avi with soft subs
Using Nero Vision Express 2 to author/burn.
Any idea what i've done wrong? Or what I could use instead of Nero Vision Express 2?

Ehhh?
When I use the "Add DVD Video" button, it pops up another window listing all the MPEG2 fils on the disc, asks me to select one, and to specify the location of where to save the file...
Now I can't find anything to merge the .srt file with the mpeg file that I ripped from the DVD. What do you use?
I've never merged a subtitle file with an MPEG2: I always have RAWS and ssa/srt files to merge... And I use VirtualDub and the VobSub filter to do the merging...
I'm sure there's a way top merge an MPEG2 and an srt/ssa file... Check videohelp.com... :)

If you guys figure out a way to do this, please post it.
There are simple instructions but they don't work. Variations of those simple instructions have been seen at several sites. Basically it's just moving the DirectX priority up to 1 or 2 in TMPEGenc. Then run the video in a player. The video, sound, and subs will be captured. But it doesn't seem to want to work.

Emm? I think I may be using the wrong terminlogy.
when I press the 'add DVD video' button then I get the selection screen. I navigate to my current hard drive copy of 'Kekkon'. I'm presented with the titles of the 4 episdoes in this ts_video folder. I select the first title. After clicking next, I get a window with two options. Reading Chapter Information or copy the clip video data to the HDD. Since I already copied the DVD with a simple copy function, I select reading chapter information. Then the next screen I select Chapter cut edit etc and do my frame selections... then on to authoring.
Ultimately I end up with a new ts_video folder with my edited and authored video.... as you can see in some of the dramas I sent you.
In that folder and the input folder are just the usual ts_video files.
Now for days every one has been saying I have to convert to MPEG before I can merge the subtitles and then convert back to DVD(ts_video).
So where have I gone wrong. :banghead:
