early subtitles

[bOnKe]

I have made a movie on a set of 4 discs. The thing is that the subtitles are appearing a bit to early. One or two seconds or so. It gets worse with every CD in the set. It's perfect on the first and about 2 seconds to early on the last one. Unfortunately I haven't saved my log-file so I can't give you that.

Can anyone explain why this is happening!? It's not a major problem but It would be nice getting rid of it on future rips! Can it perhaps have anything to do with the overlapping on every CD :confused:

Hi bOnKe,

and welcome to the forum. :)

Have you used the "Internal routines" for the ripping step? - If not, then only use them for ripping as external rippers can cause a lot of different problems - mainly async issues. But it's already in the Q&A I guess - so please have a look at it. ;)

...I do like this. I rip my DVD with Smartripper because I think it's the best ripper out there. Then I use DVD2SVCD to encode the ripped vob-files. This should not be a problem I think. I have now started an encoding without overlapping the CD's and I'm waiting for the results.

Is it stupid to use Smartripper? I think it's a great ripper!

Hi bOnKe,

ok, here we go:

1. hit the "search" button on the top of this beautiful page

2. in the "Search By Keyword" field type the words "dvd2svcd problem smartripper"

3. from the "Search Forum..." dropdown list choose the "VCD & SVCD" forums to be searched only (as I guess this will be enough for the beginnnig)

4. read _all_ threads that were found about the bothering smartripper issues when used together with DVD2SVCD (will be quite a few, I guess)

Have fun reading them, ;)

P.S. And, yes I think it's st.. erm, not good to use Smartripper with DVD2SVCD and besides that, the best ripper around nowadays is IMO the latest version of DVD Decrypter.
