Hello,
I'm trying to embed the forced subtitles of Avatar (the alien language ones) into a .mp4 of the movie that I have converted from the main .m2ts using HDConverttoX.
As of last week I've had zero experience doing anything thing complex, but what I've been able to do so far with HDConverttoX is successfully convert a half dozen other .m2ts sources into .mp4, and in some I've been able to locate forced subtitle tracks and convert with those embedded (using HDConverttoX). The problem I've run into is with movies that don't have a separate track for just the forced subtitles but instead use a forced flag for the individual subtitles in the main subtitle track. I am able to extract the main subtitle track using tsMuxer and then open it with BDSup2Sub and copy it with only the forced subtitles, and now I think I'm on the last step of just trying to put 2 and 2 together.
The guys at HDConverttoX sent me here.
Here's what I've got:
A playable .m2ts source: C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\RED_BIRD_2D_WW\BDMV\STREAM\0002.m2ts
A playable .mp4 conversion without any subtitles: C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\Avatar.mp4
A forced subtitle track that I want to embed: C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\ForcedFinal.sup
Could you help? I understand that your program here is what I need. My difficulty is that I have no idea how to use it, because I am totally inexperienced at all manner of this kind of stuff. I guess what I need are step by step instructions, and talk to me like I'm a 5-year-old (for example, I don't know if your program runs on its own or if I have to write the script lines in Avisynth, and I don't even know how to do that if that's the case). Sorry if I sound dumb! I'm really getting my feet wet here.
I'm supposing that I just enter your script into the script generated by HDConverttoX? Here's an example of the script it runs to convert the m2ts into the mp4:
Code:
prompt $d $t $_$P$G

And here's a sample if I had chosen to embed the main english subtitle track, so you can see when and where it runs it's subtitle operation:

Am I correct that I have to insert your plugin script somewhere into this mess? If so, what exact script and where would I insert it?
