Creating DVD movies from divx and srt subs...

Archerbee · 2008-01-07 23:19:48

Hi people!
Just want to create a dvd movie with a divx movie and the subtitles in srt file format i downloaded,so to play it on my dvd player...
I suppose i must convert the movie first but i don't know to what format,with what program and the command i must use!
Afterwards how can i burn it to a dvd?For burning cds i am using k3b...Suppose i can do that job by selecting "New video DVD project",right?

Sorry for my English but i am from Greece...Thank you!

Gentoo's docs are great for this kind of thing. The following link is very good. It's been a while since I've read through it, and I'm not sure that subtitles are handled here, but a quick search will teach you how to do that. I prefer FFmpeg for everything, but mencoder can do it all.

By the way, your English is fine. I live in America and speak to people daily that have less of a grasp on the language than you do!

Look into dvdauthor. It will handle the subtitles as well as help you prepare your files for DVD.

Can you explain a little bit better about dvdauthor for subtitling?I'm a totally newbie to such things and i tried "dvdauthor --help" but none of the commands seem to help...

I want a dvd movie with just the movie and subtitles,no need of menus by the way...

spumux, part of dvdauthor, is what you need to mux in the subtitles:

http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net/doc/spumux.html

That will generate a complete mpeg movie. From there, dvdauthor will produce the correct files for a DVD filesystem. I haven't tried to produce a DVD in well over a year, and I've never worked with subtitles, so I can't get real specific.

So, first I would look into spumux and get that part of your movie handled. Then I'd go back to the Gentoo documentation to learn dvdauthor for the final output. I'm sure there must be some sort of GUI program to make this process a lot easier, but I don't know of any.
