Permanent subtitles inVCD

[hani]

Hello,

I have been ripping DVDs with Smartripper, DVD2AVI and TMPGEnc with
good results, the only problem is that I can't get the subtitles. Can anyone tell me how I can get permanent subtitles into a VCD?
I have tried DVDx but the quality is not so good as using TMPGEnc.

Thanks
Hans

You have 2 option (that i work wit)

1. rip the sub's with VobSub and "feed" them Via AVS script to TMPG/CCE
2. use SubRip --> SSA subs and again AVS script

The script for the SSA will look like :

LoadPlugin("path\mpeg2dec.dll")
Mpeg2source("path\file.d2v")
ConvertToRGB()
function VD_Subtitler(clip clip, string filename)
{
LoadVirtualdubPlugin("Path\subtitler.vdf","_VD_Subtitler")
return clip._VD_Subtitler(1, filename)
}
BicubicResize(480,480,0.75,0.75)
VD_Subtitler(last ,"Path\subs.ssa")
ResampleAudio(44100)

Good Luck

Hi,
The best way in my opinion for perfect burnt in subtitles, which has a guide in doom9 site, is to use VFAPI Converter and Virtualdub frameserving with Smart resize and Vobsub filters, between dvd2avi project file and TMPGEnc encoding. Because unlike Subrip, Vobsub is not based on OCR which always bring some annoying setting up for a result of subtitles with many faults, even if you try your best.
