Subtitles not showing up

[xcy73]

I tried converting a DVD to AVI and selected a subtitle track, but the resulting video does not show up the subtitles. Same thing happens with the preview. No errors or anything strange appears in the logs. I am using version 2.35 beta.

[len0x]

If 2.27 doesn't have such problem then I know why.

[xcy73]

I removed 2.35 and installed 2.27 and I ran a preview, but still couldn't see any subtitles. Is preview supposed to show subtitles? In the agk_tmp folder there is a .sub file, but the file size is zero. The preview log file shows nothing strange:

Preview won't show subs.

[xcy73]

I am going to run a complete job again and see if it works with 2.27.

Same problem happens with 2.27.

Preview won't show subs.It will, if the subs are selected for the preview.

I removed 2.35 and installed 2.27 and I ran a preview, but still couldn't see any subtitles. Is preview supposed to show subtitles? In the agk_tmp folder there is a .sub file, but the file size is zero.Sounds like the subs are screwed up or bogus since you said the file size is zero. Can you open the corresponding .idx in Notepad and tell us what's in there? How many subtitle tracks are there in the DVD? If there is anymore than this one, then try with those. Also, try ripping the subs separately outside of AutoGK with VobSub just to confirm that the issue is not related to AutoGK but to the subtitle track itself - you should get the 0 byte file with VobSub too.

[xcy73]

First time I tried there were several subtitle tracks on the DVD, but then I used Nero to remove the rest and just leave the one I wanted. Unfortunately I deleted the corresponding .idx so I can't open it. But I remember that the size of the .sub file was again zero. I tried ripping the DVD using DVDx and everything works fine.

[shug33]

Today I ripped The Lake House with 2.35b, and the subtitles didn't show. To be sure, I deleted all the AGK files and carefully set up AGK again to pick up the English subs. The preview showed two sets, one in the right place and the 2nd in the lower left corner. After encoding, there were no subs when I played the resultant .avi file. You have updated AGK several times since I last used it, so that I can't tell you the last version I used successfully; but I haven't had any problem with the subs in the past. I can post the log if you think it would help.

The .sub file is 2,768 KB; there is a 50KB .idx file.

I ripped Delicatessen last night and had problems with external subs. I did not bring my logfile with me, if required, I can upload on monday. I am using 2.35b.

I wanted to include two english subtitles. When I ran the preview, one english subtitle showed up, and I assumed that this was normal. When the upload was done, however, only one sub was present in the rip and it was neither of the english ones, but the portuguese!

I didn't want to have to re-rip, so I tried again, but stopped the encode after the subs were created. i selected the same subs this time, and I STILL GOT THE PORTUGUESE.

I tried that same process once more, and this time I selected both english tracks and both portuguese tracks. This time, all four were created and all was well. I apologise for not bringing in my logfile. I am not at my home PC. If I see a reply to this thread on monday, I will upload the logfile.

[shug33]

Please see my 1st msg above.

Today I unistalled AGK v2.35b, Xvid, and VobSub; then installed the full version download of AGK v2.27. I then re-encoded 'The Lake House' with v2.27 using the same ripped VOB's that I had used with v2.35b.

This time the Subtitles appear in the final .avi file just fine. I also note that the .sub file resulting from both versions is the same size: 2,768 KB. Therefore, it appears that both versions derive the same .sub file, but v2.35 does not burn it into the final .avi.

When I ripped the movie, I only ripped the english subtitles altho there were, I think, 4 sets of subtitles present.

The DVD was ripped using RipIt4me v1.5.2.0, movie only option, with all the steps invoked.

I hope this helps.

[len0x]

now try version 2.36...

[shug33]

len0x, thanks a lot!
I tried v 2.36b and the subtitles are fine. Many thanks for your fine AGK, too.
Regards, George

I started having trouble with subtitles a week ago while still using 2.27. As a result, I upgraded to version 2.36b and have tried several subtitles since and have had the same problem: no subtitles displayed in the generated file. I have verified the logs to make sure that I did not forget to select the subs and I see the "Preparing subtitles" message, so that's not the problem.

When I look at the agk_tmp directory from the last encoding session with subtitles, I see that there is no mention of subtitles in the idx file and the sub file is empty. I have inspected other efforts, however, and had the same problem with subtitles even when the sub file was not empty.

[xcy73]

I am facing exactly the same problem as fearofmimes.

[theojoris]

Same problem overhere did a test with dvbd2svcd same movie and the subs are showing up but with a warning that the subs are not in the ifo file.
