make dvd with prebuild subtitles

amy

Hi all.

I'm trying to create a DVD file and to add subtitle to it (in srt format). The problem is that the srt file contains Hebrew characters and the closest I got is a DVD with subtitles but not in the correct encoding I think.

Here's how I did it:

Using tovid I ran this command:

tovid -subtitles sub.srt -pal -dvd -in movie.avi -out movie.mpg

after extracting the audio, tovid ran this command:

nice -n 0 mplayer -noconsolecontrols -benchmark -nosound -noframedrop -sub quot;/home/quot;sub.srtquot;quot; -vo yuv4mpeg:file=quot;/home/movie.mpg.0/video.yuvquot; -vf scale=720:576 quot;/home/movie.aviquot;

Again, the result was m2v file with prebuild subtitles but with characters not encoded correctly.

Thanks.
