+ | ===== Extracting subtitles from a DVD rip ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These instruction are for extracting DVD subtitles from a DVD rip - which is typically organized by the following file structure: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | VTS_01_0.IFO - first title, information file | ||
+ | VTS_01_0.VOB - leading file | ||
+ | VTS_01_1.VOB - video part 1 | ||
+ | VTS_01_2.VOB - video part 2 | ||
+ | VTS_01_3.VOB - video part 3 | ||
+ | |||
+ | VTS_02_0.IFO - second title information file | ||
+ | VTS_02_0.VOB - leading file | ||
+ | VTS_02_1.VOB - video part 1 | ||
+ | VTS_02_2.VOB - video part 2 | ||
+ | VTS_02_3.VOB - video part 3 | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make sure you have identified the files as above. Use media player, like VLC to verify that first part is actually the movie and is having embedded DVD subtitles. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Download install **VobSub Subtitle Ripper Wizard** (VSRip.exe 428KB). It is free software by Gabest (Copyright 2003) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/files/VSRip/VSRip%201.0.0.6/ | ||
+ | - Run VSRip.exe\\ {{:vsrip_2.png?nolink|VSRip software tool}} | ||
+ | - Click **Load IFO** button to select input for processing. It should be the IFO file from the title group. Note: in case “ERROR: Invalid ifo” message, verify the path to the file is having only ASCII characters - multilanguage naming is not accepted by VSRip tool. | ||
+ | - Click **Save To** button to select output folder and specify the prefix name for the VobSub files. It should be a name like “VTS_01_1” to match first part video file. | ||
+ | - Click **Next** button and choose settings. You may extract all languages or just one. Vob/Cell IDS should be all selected. | ||
+ | - Click **Next** button to start processing. Successful extraction is reported by “Done!”. Close the application. | ||
+ | - Verify the output folder, expected files: | ||
+ | * VTS_01_1.idx - first VobSub file | ||
+ | * VTS_01_1.sub - second VobSub file | ||
+ | * VTS_01_1.chunks - this file may be deleted. Mezzmo is not using it | ||
+ | - Add VobSub subtitles to Mezzmo: | ||
+ | - Open Properties dialog for the video and select the Subtitles tab. | ||
+ | - Click **Add Subtitles** button and select the newly created "VTS_01_1.IDX" file. | ||
+ | - Use Preview dialog to verify the subtitles. | ||
+ | - Click OK to accept. All detected subtitles and languages will be added to the movie and used for burning as required. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Tip:** External VobSub subtitles are generally not supported by DLNA media devices. So there is no other choice but to burn them by full video transcoding. | ||
