Hip!

Got the subtitles of a short movie into an DVD!

One test run. One movie to DVD, one audio. All movies (the only one) had
subtitles.

Idea:

At start use ProjectX to rip the subtitles to xx.sup and xx.sub.IFO
2. run the pxsup2dast
3. let mythburn.py rescan the files as before.
4. run spumux with mplex (needs exra fifo)

The code is not good: there is one extra scan of the whole dvb mpeg with
ProjectX. There is one os.system() call, I don't know how make this:

os.system("spumux -v 2 params.xml < inputfileorfifo > outputfileorfifo &")

better using python.

And it sould be possible to add ProjectX so that extra scan of dvb-mpeg is not
needed. Actually I think the subtitle rip should be done by some other tool
than projectx, the same app demuxing video and audio or at least do it in
pipe.

This is not as good as the VDR version. This knows only the .sup subtitles.

If someone is interested in, I can send my version of mythburn.py
