First of all, I've tried the search option but found nothing that helped me...
I have got an avi-file that is almost exactly 60 Minutes in length. I also have subtitles for this file in the *.smi Format.
What I wanted was to convert the avi to svcd with selectable subtitles. I've done this before, after I've asked here for help (look here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40272 )
It worked fine but in that case the source was PAL with 25 fps.
Now the source is NTSC with 23.976 fps. After I've converted it with AVI2SVCD the movie is NTSC with 29.97 fps.
I converted the subtitles to the winsubmux format and muxed them to the svcd file. But now the subtitles are out of sync - at the beginning only a few seconds, at the end about 2 minutes.
I've had a similiar problem some time ago with audio that was getting more and more out of sync so I used Pulldown (as AVI2SVCD used it in this case) and it worked.
So I think all I have to do is making a "pulldown" with the subtitles.
I've tried subadjust. I selected for the source 23.976 and for target 29.97 but the result was more worse than before. After searching in this forum I've tried a coefficent of 1.25 but the result was the same...
I simply don't understand this. If I play the movie with Windows Media Player DirectVobSub is loaded and the subtitles fit perfectly. After the conversation with ConSub (it isn't working right I think - it simply doesn't create the file I specify but only a temp file. With 25 fps movies I've used this temp file - converted it and it worked) the last subtitle (looked at the file with notepad) should beginn at about 62 minutes - but the file is only 60 minutes long. Maybe this is the cause. With what program should I convert it?
Can someone help me please. If it makes the work a lot easy I'm also ready to encode the svcd-file again with permanent subtitles but I don't know how. Would this solve the problem because of pulldown?
Thanks for help...
