There are two things I want to add to my current intermediate DVD
mpg video files created with ffmpeg, and/or to the DVD tree
structure created with DeVeDeNG:<br>
<blockquote>1. Create and add a Navigation menu in the beginning<br>
This will be an upcoming, separate topic<br>
<br>
2. Create and add Soft Subtitles as simple text info commentaries
to the video content<br>
This is the topic for this post.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
The reason that I want <b>Soft</b> Subtitles as a separate text
file stream related to timing, is because this should be possible to
<b>add</b> or import to an existing video file without the need to
re-encode. It should also be flexible to display on or off during
playback, if I have understood this correct so far.<br></div></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">IIRC you can't add text-based subtitles to DVD video. Blu-ray yes, dvd no (both can use palletized reduced-color graphical subtitles) ... so at least rendering text as palletized picture and then muxing it into mpeg stream is unavoidable step,as far as I understand.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">But may be those DVD creation guis can do srt => dvd_sub conversion for you ?</div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>

2.1 Preferably I want to add/import subtitles as fast and easy using
GUI interactive tools like DeVeDeNG or VLC if possible?<br>
Next thereafter could be using the more time consuming ffmpeg<br>

<br>
2.2 So is the question if learning a special subtitle editor is
necessary to create the text file easier, like one of these 5<br>
