Rip a DVD with subtitles (owned by me)

Hi all. The quick background:
My company made a series of films (before i joined them) which was delivered on DVD some time ago and since then some of the original projects have been lost (Don't ask how this was allowed to happen!). Our client has asked if i can supply them with two of the sections from the disc as quicktimes for them to use in a presentation.
I have used Mpeg streamclip to rip one of the sections and the result is perfect. The problem is the second section which has subtitles on it.
How do i rip the file and keep the subtitles?
Thanks in advance
GK

If you have an A/D converter or can use your camcorder as such you can use this roundabout method.
1. Connect DVD player's AV outputs to converter which is connected to Mac.
2. Open FCP and change Easy Setup to Converter.
3. Play DVD with subtitles switched on and capture into FCP.
4. Once in FCP export as a QuickTime Movie.

  • Make a new DVD with subtitles from original DVD

    Hello, i am trying to make a new DVD with subtitles from an original DVD a friend has sent to me in order to add the .*** file with the titles done with Jubler. My question is : I am converting the video ts folder of the original DVD with MPEG Streamclip to get a format that is possible to import with iDVD. so which is the best conversion for iDVD?

    My recollection is a bit fuzzy, but I think an older version of Quicktime (6?) still supported text tracks with transparent backgrounds. You might have to dig around to verify that, and it's an option, but here's a whole different approach...
    What do you think about using software like SnapZ Pro to record the version playing on your screen? It is taking video screen shots, so it won't be confused by the additional video layer (of text).

  • How do you rip anime dvds with deinterlacing and the same aspect ratio?

    Hi I use clips from anime dvds for a hobby of mine. I have a problem. I can't find the right program or the right instruction to convert my m2v or vob files into crsip clean video clips with deinterlacing and low file space. Is Missing Media Burner the right program? What is the step by step process? If you need anymore detail I will be more than happy to say it. I ripped the clips from MAC the Ripper.

    Daniel,
    Your first post - and - I wonder how many more to follow?
    Unlesss you have permissions from the copyright© owner of the material you are using for your "hobby" - you are on very dodgy ground.
    If you are a student - working on projects on campus - using the facilities of the University - on found footage - under the auspices of academia - that's different. However, hobby - oh dear oh dear.
    As Shane has quite rightly put - "Hmmmmm...."

  • IT DOES NOT LEAVE ME TO BURN THE DVD WITH SUBTITLES

    Hello ... my problem is:
    I have 3 different subtitles, in English, French and Portuguese, but to the moment to burn the dvd a mistake happens: "Language codes for 'English' and 'English-2' must differ
    Since I can do to solve it. Thank you

    hmmm, thought I posted an response to this a while ago. Anyway, that was on the iphone.
    But here now...
    it sounds like you have two subtitle tracks marked as English. There are small codes to the left of each subtitle track. Simply make sure that they are all different: EN English, ES Espanole, PT Portuguese.

  • Ripping avi's with subtitles

    i'm currently using visual hub to convert avis to mp4s for use in itunes/apple tv.
    i'm having trouble embedding subtitles in the mp4 files. they are separate files to the avi so i'm not sure what to do with it??

    You could try submerge.

  • Some encoded files with subtitle and other are not

    I just encoded a few videos files with Nokia Video Manager. and all files b4 encoding are with subtitles(*.smi) in one same folder. I played encoded files and some results are with subtitles. (I didn't set up the video manager program to inserted the subtitles into final encoded files. also there is no option I can make insert subtitles in). and rest of files are not with subtitles. now I wanna make all files with subtitles. how make all files with subtitles?

    Short answer is I don't know.
    The way I get files with Subtitles is by Ripping the DVD with ImTOO DVD ripper, in the selections I select the audio track and Subtitle from the DVD to be used during the encoding. Then the resulting video has the subtitles built in.
    I can't get Nokia Video Manager to work reliably for me so I don't use it.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Want to output video for iPod - with subtitles set in DVDSP

    Ok, now that the DVD is done, I would like to make some downloadable tracks that would be optimized for iPod (640x480). I can easily export the tracks from Final Cut Pro using compressor, but then I don't get the subtitles.
    Is there a clever way to
    - get the subtitles I have in the DVDSP project back to Final Cut OR
    - import the .STL files into Final Cut OR
    - export to iPod from DVDSP with only one of three subtitle streams?

    There is now a new discussion on this same subject here on the DVDSP forum (dvdsp3 subtitles -> .mov/.mp4), and so far, the only solution seems to be ripping the DVD with Handbrake.
    It's a shame there's neither an easy subtitling solution in Final Cut nor an export option in DVDSP.

  • Problem converting the matrix dvd with videora

    Hi, Iv'e been using dvd decryptor and videora ipod converter to get my dvd's on my ipod and it's been working until now but I'm having a problem with the matrix dvd (the first one widescreen edition). For some reason when ever I convert it with videora a little piece of the video gets cut out (the part where trinity goes into slow-mo and kicks the cop in the face) but the audio dosen't so for the rest of the movie the av sync is off by about 5 seconds. If anyone else has had this problem or has any ideas please help.

    I tried ripping the dvd with smart ripper instead of dvd decryptor and got the same problem so it seems like the problem is with videora. Are there any other programs like videora that might work? Also I do have quicktime pro and the mpeg encoder for it so is there a way to do it using that?

  • Bad pixelation when ripping a DVD

    Hi,
    I have a series of four DVDs I bought for my wife at Christmas. I have been using acidrip to rip them to my Hard drive as a series of AVIs and then I convert the AVIs to MP4s to put them on her Ipod. Each DVD has around 9 episodes of a TV show. All the episodes on DVD's 1, 2 and 4 worked no problem. Four of the episodes on DVD 3 are useless because of a really bad picture. (I've heard similar problems on fibre=optic TV being called pixelation).  The settings I used for acidrip are as loaded by Pacman, the defaults.
    It's the AVI's that have the problem. Converting a bad episode to MP4 doesn't help.
    What settings can I change to resolve my problem. The episodes play fine over a regular TV so I know that the issues is something to do with the way acidrip is set up.
    Any and all help or suggestions appreciated!!!
    Thanks.

    i had some serious trouble ripping some copy protected dvds directly (without reencoding the content) to my harddrive. i'm usually using
    mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device /dev/scd0 -dumpstream -dumpfile dvd.vob
    and in most cases this just works, but with some (probably copy protected) dvds i end up having pixel-salad (i dont know it that's what you're calling pixelation).
    i found out, that to circumvent this problem (allowing mplayer a proper usage of libdvdread and libdvdcss) you need to unmount the dvd first.
    try to rip the dvd with mplayer using the way i've posted above and make sure you have the dvd unmounted first. in case the result is still pixelated, i'm just out of clues.
    i don't know if this helps you, but as nobody else seems to have an idea i just wanted to have it posted.

  • DVD to front row with subtitles

    Subtitles are a really important option when watching movies. I have searched the internet high and low but not found anything yet that simply rips a dvd to a format you can watch in front row, whilst retaining the ability to watch with subtitles, *or without subtitles*. Have you found some software you can let me know about?

    You may be best to give iSubtitle a try (http://www.bitfield.se/). My Aunt is deaf, so often we need to find the appropriate Subtitles to add to a movie or TV show for her.
    I know this isn't quite what you were after, but it is a good start.

  • Watching a DVD with srt subtitles

    Hi there,
    Recently I bought a french DVD which turned out to have no subtitles. I did find subtitles for that movie on the Internet.
    Now, how can I watch the DVD on my Mac without having to merge the subtitles with a DVD-rip? Is it possible to do that with DVD Player or another (preferably free) app? I have VLC but it only opens subs from a DVD.
    Thanks.

    It's not pretty, but you can do it VLC and Apple's DVD player together.
    Start VLC and click "Open File" (not "Quick Open File") in the "File" menu.
    Click "Browse" and find a movie at least as long as the DVD movie.
    Click the "Open" button.
    Check "Load subtitles file" and click "Settings".
    Click "Browse", find your subtitles file ( ,srt, or .idx if you have .idx and .sub)
    Click the "Open" button.
    Click the "OK" button.
    Click the "OK" button.
    Click the Pause button.
    Click "Mute" in the "Audio" menu.
    Select the desired "Subtitles Track" in "Video" menu.
    Move the VLC window down on the screen.
    Start playing the DVD with Apple's DVD player.
    Position the DVD window over the VLC window, leaving just the bottom (subtitle) part of the VLC window visible.
    When you reach the start of the actual movie, click VLC's Play button.
    Click the DVD Player icon in the dock, so get the DVD window back on top.
    Start eating popcorn.
    If you are going to do this often, you may want to make a custom, long, solid black, movie, (extreme film noir) to avoid distracting backgrounds under the subtitles. This movie should compress to a very small file. if you pick the right codec.

  • Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

    The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
    My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

  • MEncoder: DVD to avi with subtitles results in screen flicker

    I'm trying to make an avi-file using mencoder with subtitles. Playing the DVD, or the VOB-file in mplayer works and encoding it without subs in mencoder works, but as soon as I include the subs, the avi-movie starts to flicker like crazy after the first subtitle appears.
    The command I use to encode.
    mencoder dvd://1 \
    -ss 00:10:00 -endpos 00:01:00 \
    -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=96:vol=3 \
    -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:cmp=2:subcmp=2:autoaspect \
    -vf crop=704:544:8:16 \
    -sid 5 -aid 130 \
    -o movie.avi
    I've tried this on several movies, and the same result on all of them, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    I've tried using xvid (before I ran into the subtitle-trouble), but found it was a bit slower, (maybe because the default bit rate was higher?), and most of the mencoder tutorials talked about using lavc with mpeg4; plus x264 was too slow, on my 1 GHz machine when I tried it.
    The important thing is that I can play it on my (rather cheap) DVD-player, and include the subtitle in the video ("hard code it"), since my dvd-player can't read .srt or .sub-files, and I don't want to watch my backed up movies from the computer, but from the DVD-player, just as I would I do with the originals.
    At first I assumed the trouble had to do with the encryption of the discs, but since it works without subs, I assume these are the culprits. I'm new at using mencoder, so I assumed I was missing something, and google just tells me a lot of people are having problems with "motion flicker" but I could not find anything related to subs.
    Are you suggesting I do something like:
    -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=-700000 \
    instead?

  • How is best to rip DVDs that I own to my iMac then move them to my iPads so my kids can watch them during a long drive?

    How is best to rip DVDs that I own to my new iMac for viewing on my iPads and iPods (for kids during a long drive)? I've read about a lot of options, but I don't find anything that sounds authoritative on what is the ideal way. There is freeware out there and a bunch of paid options. I don't mind paying as long as I know what I'm getting will work. I've asked a few buddies and haven't gotten any straight answers. It seems like everyone has their own way that has its own set of benefits and issues. Any strong opinions out there on what works well (especially for a rookie)?

    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    The backing up part isn't illegal, but in order to do this you need to break copy protection..this part is.

  • DVD with Graphic Subtitles crash

    Hi,
    I've created a dvd with one track and subtitles at every 10 minutes (for watermarking), during 30 secondes. These are graphic subtitles. The Dvd is auto-run, no menu, no loop, no chapter. The movie plays fine in the simulator and in Apple Dvd player once compiled. But, the dvd burned, crashes in the Apple DVD player when it plays on a subtitle.
    If I skip forward the subtitles, the player don't crash, neither if I play it on a hardware player (Pioneer, Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony). I suppose it's a DVD Studio Pro problem because I tried on a older version of Apple DVD Player, with Mac OSX 10.4 and it crashes too.
    Can't anybody help me!?
    Thanks,
    Matt
