How can I create a .SUP subtitle file from scratch?
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2022 6:14 am
.sup seems to be the main subtitle format used on Blu-ray discs.
I can rip .sup files with MakeMKV, I can slice them up with MKVmerge, and I can convert them to pretty-much any other subtitle format with the OCR-capable subtitling program I use, but I've searched & searched and I can't find any software which allows me to create a .sup file from scratch.
I've tried half-a-dozen different programs but the main subtitle editor I use is "SubtitleEdit", it will open/OCR .sup files but not create/output them.
I found a little program that is supposed to convert .sub files to .sup, but I can't get that to work, It wants an .idx file, which I don't have.
I realize that .sup subtitles are graphic-based, and I'd even be prepared to create all the individual images by hand (although I'd really prefer not to), but I can't find a way to compile them into a .sup file.
There MUST be software that can do it. I mean, these files do actually exist on Blu-ray discs so somebody must have the capability of creating them?
If someone could suggest a program I could try, I would be grateful! I don't even care if it's not freeware, I'm happy to pay for something so long as it actually works.
