galmok Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 How do I record subtitles with my normal recordings? I use the current default of mpg files but subtitles do not show. Do I have to use the ts format instead? Quote Link to comment
Tjod Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Do I have to use the ts format instead?Yes and select it in Options > Recorder > Format Options Quote Link to comment
galmok Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Ok. But then I end up with TS files that only DVBViewer can read. How do I convert them to mpg? Quote Link to comment
PARIX Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) Ok. But then I end up with TS files that only DVBViewer can read. How do I convert them to mpg? VLC is free software and plays .ts format even smoother than DVBViewer. Is the format used in Dreambox too. I record everything in .ts specialy for the subtitles. You can try it in other formats but usualy you'll have syncronization and compatibility problems. Ts records the stream as it is, unchanged, giving all the quality, few problems, and is a standard format. For editing and recoding you can use ProjectX, free too, although a bit difficult at the start (you have to compile it yourself). Edited December 30, 2007 by PARIX Quote Link to comment

You don't need to compile it, just get it from http://dreambox.ingmar.dk/projectx.asp You also need the Java runtime. You can download this from the same site Quote Link to comment

You can download this from the same site Hello Yes ! But you violate the extremly expressed wish of the programmer to only give it away for self compiling. And you only have to change 1 or two pathes iin the BATCH for compiling. If you are not able to do this you should stay away from digital video. Sorry that may sound rude, hence it is the truth , at least how I see it. Quote Link to comment
IRa Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 If you are not able to do this you should stay away from digital video.So making DVDs from TV broadcast using your PC is only for full day java spesialists ? I belive thet there are lot of people (like me) who need ProjectX but does not have any experience how to compile source code. ProjectX is the only tool that can handel DVBsubtitles from recordings. I use it lot but I don't know anything about Java programming and I don't have time or interest to study it. I am very pleased that there are people how also make it possble to us who shoud stay away from digital video. Ofcource it is not very nice to obay programmers wish but I thing that is not very fare wish among opensource programs. (I get ProjectX from here http://www.oozoon.de/main_en.html, thanks to OoZooN for that) Quote Link to comment
Derrick Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 So making DVDs from TV broadcast using your PC is only for full day java spesialists ? You're welcome to use any other tool of your choice. I'm only a simple user without any knowledge about java programming (but I've heard about it ). The download contains a very simple guide and bat. Even I managed to compile pj.x. Using the tool needs less general knowledge than learning to control the DVBViewer Quote Link to comment

By the way, I know how to compile it, i have been working with IT for the last 30 years, but digital Video etc. should be for alle persons, not only for us experienced. I know that you geeks hate to see that "normal" unexperienced users do this things, because then you loose power Edited January 6, 2008 by McenterFreak Quote Link to comment

So everybody is happy Quote Link to comment
