Note: These instruction are for extracting DVD Subtitles from the set of files, typically organized by fixed file names and index of the group:
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 - eading file
VTS_02_1.VOB - video part 1
VTS_02_2.VOB - video part 2
VTS_02_3.VOB - video part 3
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.
- Get VobSub Subtitle Ripper Wizard (VSRip.exe 428KB), it is free software by Gabest (Copyrights 2003)
Unzip, and store the executable in a folder.
- Run VSRip.exe
- 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 Video Properties dialog, select Subtitles tab:
Click [Add Subtitles] button and select 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, and there is no other choice as to burn them by full video transcoding. The above procedure will be automated in the following Mezzmo 3.3 updates.
