BDSup2Sub - convert and tweak bitmap subtitle streams (VobSub,BD-SUP,BDN XML,HD-SUP)



BDSup2Sub is a tool I wrote initially to convert captions demuxed from a Blu-Ray transport stream (M2TS) into the DVD VobSub format (SUB/IDX) used by many DVD authoring tools - hence the name. Many more features were added over time as was support for other formats. So in the meantime the name seems a little inappropriate. In a nutshell, it's a subtitle conversion tool (for image based formats) with scaling capabilities and some other nice features.

Feedback is welcome - especially from the authors of other tools to discuss compatibility issues.

To report problems with a subtitle stream, please either post the zipped stream (if it is compliant with the forum rules) or upload it to a "one click hoster" and send me a PM with the link. And don't forget a detailed error description.

  • Sony BDN XML: Import and Export (since 3.3.0)
