Regular subs missing, please help.

[BlueFlame]

Hello
I use GKnot only for my backup's. I never use subs because I encode english movies and I speak english. I thought subs were for if someone needs a movie with subs in there language.
I have and english Red Dawn, but in the few little parts were the Russians speak the english subs were not there.
I don't want to sub the whole movie.

I know someone knows what I'm taking about. Please explain what this situation is and where a guide or some thing, please. I have looked in the vob guides. Thank you.

You must rip english subtitle. Then delete lines that you don't need.
Usually i rip in SubRip in .srt.

Use VobSub and look up "forced subtitles" option in the idx file...

Edit: grammar

[TraXeN]

Use SubResync that comes with the vobsub package.

1. Use vobsub and create your standard idx/sub package from the vobs
2. Open the idx/sub file and find your lines that you want to add to your movie.
3. Mark them and save the file to another place
4. Choose the new files in vobsub when you encode.

That should take care of it.

+ it really doesnt hurt to subrip the movie :) and have ON/OFF viewable subs

Ok. last time. You can do it the hard way, suggested above, or just rip it using VobSub (some recent version), open the .IDX file it created in notepad and scroll down to

# ON: displays only forced subtitles, OFF: shows everything
forced subs: OFF

Change it and you should be ready to go without going manually through 100+ lines of subs.

@Yasaku,

I´m an SVCD Freak, how can I do this in DVD2SVCD:confused: Only the hard way with all the subs and selecting manual the forced, or is there an easyer way out?

@all
When I select manual and edit permanent.txt/subs.ini happens something strange. The first line of the next subtiteled sczene is shown on the next normal sczene. First line of the next subtiteled sczene is missed, second and following lines are oK and with the next normal sczene we start again 2 fast (I hope anyone can understand my english:rolleyes: )

I hope for your answers
THX

it's Yusaku ^_^

Anyway... I think you can try to edit as I wrote and then run it through subresync (just open & save) and save to maestro/etc. SVCD sub format. And if you want burnt-in subs, either load such vobsub file in avisynth or use newest SubRip (it has forced option too) and load it into avisynth through TextSub.

Anyway... everything you should need is in VobSub and SubResync packages, just look around a bit.

And DVD2SVCD integration: haven't used it for a while, but I think it is possible to edit the autogenerated avisynth file somewhere in it, no? If not, you're stuck with the vobsub way, which is 100% supported in GUI.

@Yusaku,

I´m sorry for your nick :rolleyes:

I will try a bit with avisynth. THX for your reply.

np. Try searching this forum as well - but just playing aroun with notepad and subresync should produce the file you need. And then you just need to add something along these lines:

LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\System32\vobsub_au.auf")
VobSub("c:\...\...\FileName.idx")
