Just add a subtitle
Just add a subtitle
Posted Jan 3, 2008 14:10 UTC (Thu) by NAR (subscriber, #1313)Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's video journey part 3: DVD authoring
Hello! Is there a tool that just grabs a DVD (with menus, subtitles, etc.), lets me add a new language subtitle, then burns the whole back to a DVD? There are a lots of really cheap DVDs (less than 4 euros) in the supermarket, but sometimes they don't have Hungarian audio or subtitle. However, subtitles can be downloaded, so these DVDs could be "upgraded" to be enjoyable by non-English speakers too.

The dvdauthor package includes "dvdunauthor", which basically takes the structure from an existing DVD, and writes out an XML file that can be edited then fed back to dvdauthor. Can't remember if it extracts the data too, see "vobcopy" and other tools if not.
