Subs from *.srt files in SVCD

[GoGush]

Hello I'm little newbie :)
I have two questions :
1.Is it possible to create selectable subs form *.txt (*.srt) files in SVCD (not permanent) ?
And another one :
2.How to create subs from *.sub file (VobSub - *.idx,*.ifo,*.sub) in SVCD ?

Thx

2: Convert subtitle to ssa and use Virtual Dub plugin Subtitler.
You can use it in AVISynth too.
Look into guides - it stays for first question too.

Ppera I think he wants selectable subs not the permanent ones with Vdub's subtitler.

I don't know if the last version of MaestroSBT is capable of converting the files to the submux format.

There is some info in these threads

You should convert your srt file to ssa format (there are conversion tools you can find), then create an OGT (txt) script with MaestroSBT and mux them to your SVCD with I-Author.

This sounds interesting - could you give me more info? I want permanent subs, I can easily convert subs into .ssa but I have no idea how to use Virtual Dub or Avisynth - what video file to open in Virtualdub if I have only SVCD .MPEG... - Virtualdub requests .avi

Thanx

You need DVD2AVI, AVISynth or VFAPI converter to make AVS or pseudo AVI file. Then you can use it in Virtual Dub.
You have good guides about all it - here at doom9.

I was not clear enough..

- I know how to make DiVX (AVI) with subs included through Subtitler 2-2 plugin - but how to implement this procedure for SVCD .MPEG file? For SVCD encoding I use and have to use other soft then VirtualDub and I do not want to convert DVD first into AVI with subs (DivX) and then into MPEG (SVCD) - I want directly rip DVD into SVCD...

I do not really see a way how to use this procedure...

You don't need to convert to AVI. You must use VirtualDub as frameserver. Also I mentioned that this filter can be used in AVISynth too.
As I saw couple integrated solutions as DVD2SVCD, they support only VobSub (picture) based subtitles, but not txt (ASCII) subtitles.

So, you must make it by 'walking' step by step.

P.S. making first DivX will degrade quality, spend lot of time... Therefore we have frameserving. You must use it for subtitles, no other way. It's described in guides, and isn't too complicated.
