Hello,
I want to take a VOB file (including subtitles and multiple audio
channels), run it through transcode to resize it (well, actually, just
downsize the bitrate, but it would be nice to have the option of running
filters or whatnot, as well), and export it as a VOB file (with the
subtitles and audio totally unchanged from the original).
I've already tried using ffmpeg to do this, which works nicely except
that ffmpeg does not always find the subtitle streams. I need the
subtitles (all of them), and I don't want them burned onto the video
like with extsub (I already am using extsub for some videos, but for
this one I want the subtitles to be optional; besides, there's more than
one subtitle stream and I want all of them, not just one).
I've been doing some reading and it appears that mpeg2 (the container)
and VOB are basically the same format... but mpeg2 doesn't generally
support subtitles (or at least, the programs that play mpeg2 don't play
subtitles in mpeg2 streams, or something) [again, I'm not talking about
extsub here, I'm talking about fully functional, turn them on or turn
them off, pick which one of many you want to use, subtitles].
Anyway, the main idea is that I want to be able to burn this VOB onto a
DVD once I'm done, stick it in a DVD player, and watch it (nevermind
menus or chapters though, I can figure that out on my own, all I want
for now is to get a working VOB with audio and subtitles).
Is this possible with transcode?
How would do it?
And if it ain't possible, why not?
Is there another option besides (or as an extension of) transcode?
(preferably on the command line, not a GUI)
