How do I use multiple subtitles?

[Frank]

Hello

I have three videos and I downloaded three srt files. How do I type this on tovid to make a disc? Thx

[Frank]

I used this syntax

tovid disc -quality 7 -out finaldvd/ -files film1.mp4 film2.mp4 film3.mp4 -softsubs film1.srt film2.srt film3.srt -subtitle-lang en

film1 gets the subs, but film2 and film3 don't.

Hi Frank,
I think you would have to add the subs individually with makempg if you
have multiple files that all need soft subs.

tovid mpg ... -softsubs eng.sub fr.sub ru.sub ... etc

so you can have one video with multiple sub languages.
Soft subtitles is an experimental option that was added to git head, but
is not in the latest release. So the option to encode multiple files
with subs was not added yet.

hope this helps,
Robert

Thanks grepper for letting me know the situation on tovid on using multiple subs on multiple videos.

Hello grepper,

I was experimenting with tovid. I was able to put three movies with their appropriate subtitles. The trick is to put each movie and it's subtitles file in it's own titleset.

tovid disc -noask -menu-title "" -titles-color yellow -button-style rect -out dvd1 \

-titleset  -menu-title "page 1 of 3" -files movie1.mp4 -softsubs movie1.srt -subtitle-lang en -end-titleset \

-titleset  -menu-title "page 2 of 3" -files movie2.mp4 -softsubs movie2.srt -subtitle-lang en  -end-titleset \

-titleset  -menu-title "page 3 of 3" -files movie3.mp4 -softsubs movie3.srt -subtitle-lang en -end-titleset \

-no-vmgm \

-quick-nav 

echo "All Done"

After tovid created the final dvd, I tested the disc with VLC and all three movies had their own subtitles. Thanks grepper for tovid.
