change size of font subtltile in AutoGK ??

[eizo561]

I used AutoGK to convert Xvid -> Xvid with subtilte (of course, press Ctrl+F8 with external file subtitle). Thought I change size of font subtitle in DirectVobSub Configure (upto Arial 20). But after AutoGK finished, file avi have only subtitle with size of font too small. Help me to solve this problem..

Hi-

As far as I know, changing how large the sub is displayed using DirectVobSub does nothing to the font size in the SRT file itself. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm assuming your subtitle is in SRT format. If not, please let us know the format.

One way to change the size is to convert the SRT to SSA, which carries the font size within the file. You can use Sub Resynch to do that, among other programs. Sub Resynch is included in the VobSub package. Then open the SSA using Notepad and increase the font size by changeing what I've boldfaced:

Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, TertiaryColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, AlphaLevel, Encoding Style: Default,Tahoma,65,11645361,11579568,11316396,-2147483640,0,0,1,2,0,2,30,30,85,0,0

I followed the method that you worte, but have no change. Size font of subtitle is small (approx. Arial 16), though I changed to Arial 20. Many thanks with helping..

Hi-

So you burned the subs into the video, but the size is still the same as before?

Try something. Open the SSA file and change the font size to maybe 30. Name it the same as the movie (Movie.avi and Movie.ssa) and put it in the same folder, so when you play the movie, the sub plays as an external sub with DirectVobSub (a curved green arrow will open in the System Tray when it's working). Then is the font much larger, the external SSA subtitle? If so, when you burn it into the video, it should be the exact same size.
