View Full Version : I need to embed subtitles to a video.

I tried doing it with Avidemux with both a h.264/aac and an xvid/mp3 version of the video and it always gives me a fatal error, no matter how many times I try. And it's the latest version.

The subs are in .ass so VirtualDub won't taket them. Does anyone know where I can download a program to hardsub the video with the subtitles?

Extract, copy the vdf into VDub's plugins directory, the filter is called TextSub (yes, it does support ASS).

I'm not able to open the video in VirtualDub because it's in .mp4 but even though I used MKVtoolnix to put it in MKV when I loaded it in VDMod it gave me an error and refused to open it.

Thanks very much anyway, but anything else in mind?

AviSynth, using FFMpegSource() to open your video. Then you can add the subtitles either in vdub or directly in AnviSynth.

I wouldn't understand how do that without a step-by-step. Though I'm willing to learn :]

Install AviSynth, download the FFMpegSource and VSFilter plugins (Google is your friend) and place them in AviSynth's plugins directory (C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins). Then open Notepad and create a file like this:

FFMpegSource("C:\path\to\file.mp4")
TextSub("C:\path\to\script.ass")

Save it as something.avs, open in VDub, encode, you're there :)

Would downloading those FFMpegSource and VSFilter interfere with the codec-pack I have installed? (CCCP)

Hi!I tried doing it with Avidemux with both a h.264/aac and an xvid/mp3 version of the videoI'm not able to open the video in VirtualDub because it's in .mp4There's certainly no reason you'd be unable to load an XviD/.MP3 video into VirtualDub.

Please explain...

Also, why didn't you simply incorporate the subtitles when you initially created the h.264/aac and XviD/.MP3 files?

Alright. I was talking about both the h.264 and the XviD versions gave me fatal errors in Avidemux. I really don't want to sub the XviD version, just the h.264 version. I only did the XviD as a test, which told me Avidemux gives me a fatal error when I try to sub anything.

Also, I did not create this video. That's why I'm trying to subtitle it now. I want to keep it in h.264/AAC at the same time though.

I didn't personally create it. What's the big deal?
