Technical help with sup subtitles

**crag.castle** · 06-16-12 at 09:31 AM

Guys, I need help with putting "sup" subtitles into an mkv video. My friends sent me english subtitles to a series I wanted to watch, but he only found "sup" files, no ASS nor SRT.

So when I put these "sup" files into the same folders as my mkv video files, the subtitles would not play. I tried using MPC and load the subtitles, but MPC does not recognize these "sup". I use the K-Lite software. Any advice guys?

1. Load the .SUP file into "BD Sup2Sub"
2. Save as "SUB/IDX".
3. Load MKV into "MKVMerge" GUI ("mmg.exe")
4. "ADD" "SUB" file ("IDX" file will be rejected - not needed anyway)
5. Set an output filename and location and click on the "Start muxing" radiobutton.

If you dont want to mux them in, just use steps 1 and 2.

MPC doesn't support external PGS/SUP subs. You'll need to convert .sup files into the DVD VobSub format (sub/idx).

BDSup2Sub

Code: Select All

No need to convert the .sups.....you just have to mux the .sups in mkvmerge....
No problem to play them with mpchc + Madvr......

what's the best way to convert sub/idx to srt files?

Thanks

I used subtitle edit, you can easily convert subs from a format to another - and sync them if needed, too

Code: Select All

sup files will work in mpchc if you mux them into mkv files. And you also need to change some settings in mpchc (view>options>playback>output>(for internal subtitles support choose one of the options marked with two stars in direct show video I recommend EVR custom press option or one of those renderless vmr options (vmr-7 or vmr-9 renderless), maybe even hali renderer). Newer versions of ffdshow video decoder also support sup/pgs subtitles (especially versions that include aditional dxva decoder).

when you installed k-lite codec pack, which version did you install? I use Mega 6.9.0.
FFDshow in it supports embedded and external pgs subtitles. MPCHC which comes with this version of also supports embeded pgs subtitles.
