Format of .style file? (VSFilter)

[Foofaraw]

I'm u sing VisualSubSync which seems to use a custom vsfilter, and apparently I must create a ".style" file to change the look of subtitles. But it has proven almost impossible to find out what such a style file is made up of (and don't say search place, that doesn't help)

So anybody know what to add in such a file?

Sorry, but using the search would have led you to this thread (it did for me): http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=98681

In the subresync edit window, make your choices, apply them & subresync will write the style file for you.

It did for me too - the thread just didn't help.

I have no file called subresync.

Here is an example of the subrip style file:

ScriptType: v4.00+
PlayResX: 720
PlayResY: 480

[V4+ Styles]
Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, OutlineColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, Underline, StrikeOut, ScaleX, ScaleY, Spacing, Angle, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, Encoding
Style: Default,HelveticaRounded LT Bold,28,&H00E6E6E6,&H000CEEF1,&H00000000,&H00000000,0,0,0,0,100,100,0,0,1,2,0,2,72,72,48,0

I use it sometimes because it makes subtitles similar to the ones I see on TV shows.
The subrip style format is actually a subset of the Substation Alpha subtitle format, and comes with a lot of parameters such as font type, size, color, attributes, safe area for subtitles, etc.

To use this, write down the code above changing the parameters you want to a text file and use
the same name as the original srt plus the ".style" extension at the end of the file.

Example:

spider.srt
spider.srt.style

If you have the VobSub 2.23 pack version, you can also create the style file using subresync.
Just Right click on the SRT file and choose "Edit with Subresync".
Select the apropriate FPS for the SRT file and a window pops with the subtitles.
Just doubleclick on any of the subtitles and the Subtitle Style Editor pops.

Make all the changes you want and press apply.
Then all you have to do is save the subtitle (with another name if you want to keep the original as backup), and voilá!
The new SRT file comes with the style file.

hope it helps ;)

I have no file called subresync.Although MBoufleur kindly gave you an answer: the linked thread did contain the info that subresync is contained in the vobsub package. Once you install vobsub, there will even be an icon in your start menu.

Which I don't care about. I asked about the format of the file.

I'm not installing vobsub, I don't want that junk installed.

If you had read my message you'd see i said vss uses a custom vsfilter. I have not, and don't plan to install anything.
