Main goal: Take a dvd, save it to my computer, and ultimately get it to display with subtitles on my ipod video by any means nessesary.(I have cucusoft, but I don't want to use that. It is glitchy and the files that it creates are huge and of poor quality. The dvd decrypter to videora files are smaller and much better looking. I just cannot figure out how to get them to retain subtitles. I have tried everything that I could either think of or find on the internet. I've used dvd decrypter to create a vob file, extracted subtitles from the vob and converted them to srt with ripsub, converted the vob to avi and then muxed the avi and the srt, then converted in videora to try and put it on my ipod, and now I've learned that the muxing won't do me any good when it comes to ipods because iTunes (and videora it would seem) cannot display the muxed subtitles. Somebody please help. I cannot figure out what to do. Is there any way that I can make the subtitles part of the actual video image so that when I convert it, the subtitles will be just another permanent part of the video and therefore not need to be "read" by iTunes?
Sure infact hard encoding the subs I think would be the only way to get subtitles working on an iPod since they don't support ttext subs. I would frameserve the DVD with subtitles using AVISynth. MPEG2Source("whatever.d2v") Vobsub("whatever.idx") crop() resize() etc. Really though Apple should just implement subtitle support. Then you could just mux your srt with mp4box.
