Foreign movies sent via DVB-T in Denmark only have subtitles via a separate DVB-stream.<br>So making the subtitles part of the video stream would definitely make it easier for me: MythBurn would still work, Transcoding would still work.
<br>But I have not found any tools capable of burning the subtitles into the videostream.<br>There are tools that can demultiplex (ProjectX) the subtitles into a .sup format which some dvd-authoring applications can accept, and maybe MythArchive will handle converting to DVD-format, but transcoding is still a problem.
<br>I was looking forward to DVB-T because I thought it would make transcoding better (less noise). But now I can only use transcoding for native shows. Actually I have started to force foreign shows to my analog card, so that I still can transcode them.
