Possible to add a subtitle if movie contains none?
Not sure if this question has been previously addressed but hope it can be answered, so here it is:
I have a blu-ray movie that originally came without subtitles. I went ahead and added an English subtitle using tsMuxer but when I play the movie it is very jerky and unstable. Since this blu-ray movie did not originally have subtitles, is there something extra I need to do when adding the subtitle or is this impossible to do under these circumstances? TIA Mac |

Can anybody help to address this question? Appreciate any help. More info: Movie frame rate is 23.976 and the frame rate of the inserted subtitles is also 23.976.

Another update on this mystery. I took the main video M2TS blu-ray file and added the sub .srt file in MKVtoolnix to convert it to MKV. The mkv video played fine with the added subs. I then reconverted the mkv file to M2TS and when I played the file, the same issues arose with the video breaking up and jerky. I know the mkv format is a container, so that explains why I can play it without the described issues but still don't understand why converting the mkv file back to an M2TS format it exhibits the same problems.

I am assuming there must be something more that needs to be done with the blu ray file structure to recognize there is a sub so it can play normally instead of a distorted playback... just my own unproven assumptions of course. Mac |

Hi maczones, welcome to the forum! I was just suggesting that as it appears to be a possible issue with tsmuxer you might consider posting your query in the tsmuxer thread at this forum. I didn't mean to suggest there was a solution there already.
My advice is you'll probably have to use a professional tool for this. tsmuxer only recently became open source and not many fixes have been forthcoming thus far for the more difficult issues. Some brave developers are working with it, however, so it may be worth posting in a tsmuxer thread. Maybe there is a bug tracker too. If you can't access a professional tool then be happy for any workaround you can cobble up. You should try as filler56789 suggested also. Feed tsmuxer with proper sup files.

The solution is to read at least the documentation of a tool needed in the process.
Adding a subtitle to a movie is nowhere more complicated than replacing an existing subtitle track, in fact simpler, for it doesn't need to deselct the existing one (one click less). Anyway, every single movie in this universe has initially no subtitle, so adding a subtitle to a movie containing no subtitles HAS TO BE possible
