Notes and Jottings

It’s really a lot of work - I’m glad I usually buy my DVDs rather than doing things this way DivX with AC3 audio enocding: I used VirtualDub to save out the sound in a separate file (direct stream copy) and renamed the resulting .wav file to a .ac3 file (talking about filenames here).
Then BeSweet to convert the AC3 audio to MP2 audio at 44.1kHz and 224kbps.
Downloaded SUBtoSSA to do some subtitle conversion, and got an SSA of the subtitles from divxsubtitles.net.
Installed the subtitle plugin for VirtualDub, and loaded up the SSA file.
Started VirtualDub as a framebuffer, and got TMPGenc to use that as a source for its encoding.
Used the multiplexing tools in TMPGenc to combine the resulting MPEG1 file with the MP2 sound file created earlier, making sure to set the type of output to MPEG1 (Video-CD).
And ta-daaa it worked (a previous attempt had the subtitles completely out of sync with the video).
Too much time required usually - Amazon is good for getting them nicely, without hassle, in a box That’s when companies like Pioneer decide to do the import. They seem to be better than usual at doing that at the moment thankfully.
