Copying blu ray with subtitles

Post by TempGuy1 »

Forgive me if this is a newb question but I've searched the forums high and low and can't find an answer to my question.

How do you make a copy of a blu ray with subtitles? For example, "The Wolverine" has some scenes in Japanese where English subtitles should appear.

After I rip the MKV with MakeMKV (leaving the subtitles checked) how do I mux it and include the subtitles so they appear in playback? TSMuxer doesn't recognize the subtitles and won't add them. Is there a simple way or do you have to somehow extract the subtitles and use another program to add them back after it's muxed? Please help...I've turned a few disks into coasters attempting this.

To clarify, I'm making the disk Blu Ray compatible so it plays in standalone Blu Ray players.

If you really want a Bluray as output format, why use MakeMKV? And TSMuxer DOES recognize subs.

Extract the subtitles into .sup files first, then add the .sup files into TSMuxer along with the MKV.

As far as I can tell, TSMuxerGUI doesn't recognise PGS subtitles in Matroska Files.

I extract the MKV, then if it's too big, handbrake it until it fits on a BD25 disk. When I throw the MKV into TSMuxer, it says "track not recognized" and subtitles don't output. Even if I throw an MKV that hasn't been encoded in handbrake, TSmuxer still doesn't recognize the subtitle track.

MKVCleaver if you need a GUI or you could use MKVExtract directly, I have a batch that will do it automatically, but I've written a MediaInfo to Batch program using c++ that you'd need as well.

I haven't had time to perfect it yet and you'll need the 32 bit MediaInfo.dll installed as well.

MakeMKV is free while in Beta. Handbrake and TSMuxer are free, period.

My trial of DVDFab has expired, so I can't test to see if it's any better.

The rip function of DVDfab stays free. Period.

And you too fail to explain why he would need MakeMKV to get from m2ts to m2ts.

Agreed, DVDFab is an option.

Handbrake should be able to read the DVDFab Blu Ray structure to get at the chapters and encode the Video. Then you add the Handbrake encode and the M2TS file to TSMuxer to create a Blu Ray.

Or, rip with MakeMKV, re-encode the file, extract the subtitles and add the Handbrake encode and the subtitles to TSMuxer to create a Blu Ray.

I guess it's a matter of personal preference.

MakeMKV Back-up + BD Rebuilder looks promising, you even get to keep the menus.

I guess I don't know any other way. I thought you need to make an MKV that bundles the audio and video and keeps chapters. Are you saying to use DVDfab to decrypt all the video files then somehow put them together? What about the movies that have lots of .m2ts files in one movie?

BTW, I found an easier way to keep forced subtitles. You can burn them in with handbrake during the encode to compress it. Then it's just burned in and don't have to worry at all about separate subtitle tracks. It works for me at least...I'm just making it up as I go.

Again: why use MakeMKV when it does not compress? To resize BD structures you'd usually use DVDFab or something.

I guess I don't know any other way. I thought you need to make an MKV that bundles the audio and video and keeps chapters. Are you saying to use DVDfab to decrypt all the video files then somehow put them together? What about the movies that have lots of .m2ts files in one movie?
DVDFab can make a BD25 out of a BD50 directly, but it's not part of the free HD Decrypter element of the program, so you'll only get the 30 day trial to use it. It's uses Quicksync by default on my computer, there is a software mode but I'm not sure what codec that is exactly. Other than that, it can rip the main movie to a BD structure and you can encode with handbrake or BD Rebuilder from there. I don't see how the free portions of DVDFab would make things any easier, but maybe I missed something.

Just keep doing what you're doing, at long as your happy with the outcome that's all that matters, as long as you don't make a mess of the handbrake settings it's doubtful anything can go wrong.
