I am hard of hearing and need to be able to copy video from a DVD to a USB drive and then add subtitles. My Samsung TV is capable of playing video directly from USB drives.
I tried using DVDshrink to rip the video to my computer and then copy it to the USB drive and add a subtitle file I downloaded from the internet. DVDshrink creates multiple VOB files, each less than 1 GB. The TV will play the first VOB file with subtitles but does not recognize the next VOB files as a valid video file. Even if the TV could read it, the subtitle file would need to be split and revised to get the subtitles synced with the video on all VOB files after the first.
The TV will not recognize an iso file so I cannot use that approach. I might be able to add the subtitles to the video and convert it back to an iso for burning to a DVD but I really don't want to burn a DVD for something I am only going to watch once and then throw away.
Does anyone have any experience doing this or have any suggestions I might try? Thanks.
