Post by mackinsy »

hello,
When I rip my blu ray disc with make mkv, I keep the DTS HD audio and the subtitles but my multimedia driver ( netgear neotv 550 or WD tv live) can not read the subtitles.
Could you help me please?

Until such time as your media players receive a firmware update to allow them to read PGS subtitles you have no option but to use a work around.

You will need to extract the PGS Bluray subtiles from the mkv file, convert them to DVD type VOBSUB subtitles, and finally remux the vobsubs into the mkv file.

1. Rip Bluray to mkv with Makemkv
2. Use Mediainfo on the Makemkv mkv file to find the subtitle track number.
3. Use Mkvextract (part of mkvtoolnix) to extract the pgs subtitle stream as a .sup file.
4. Use BDSup2Sub to convert pgs subtitle to vobsub subtitle (.sup to .idx and .sub).
5. Mux in vobsub subtitle to HB generated mkv file with MkvmergeGUI. (part of mkvtoolnix).

Note: mkvextract is a command line application correct syntax is

Code: Select all

mkvextract tracks inputfilename.mkv 4:outputfilename.sup
where the subtitles are track 4 in the mkv file.
