Hi all,
I’m happy to report that I have finished the initial subtitle pass for RotS: Rebalanced. I have completed the following:
- MKV subtitles (dialog only)
- MKV closed captions (dialog and SFX)
- BD subtitles (dialog only)
- BD closed captions (dialog and SFX)
- .srt file conversion to .ass for Blu Ray subs
The fan edit legal disclaimer is at the start of the MKV, but it shows up before the menu on the Blu Ray. So, I needed two sets with different timings.
Next steps are to figure out how to convert .ass to an image based .sup/.pgs format. I tried giving this a shot: https://github.com/subelf/Spp2Pgs but it gleefully gave me an error with the following:
PgsWriter Created.
Unknown exception.
Converting failed.
I’m about to leave on a trip but I can try to figure this part out when I get back.
If I can manage the conversion, then the last steps are to make a new subtitle menu for the Blu Ray. That’s going to be a bit of a pain because I did all the original menus in Cinema 4D with fully custom elements. I’ll need to figure out what I want to use for the menu and then see how to build/compile/mesh it together.
I’ve also made a few minor audio and visual edits that I spotted during the subtitling process. Those will be detailed when I finish.
Feels good to finally be giving this edit the subtitles it deserves.
