Hi Guys.
I will start by saying that I have reviewed all FAQs, tutorials, and of course went through all posts in this forum.
If my question however was answered before, I apologize beforehand for wasting your time. I would greatly appreciate if someone could just post a link to such discission, as it would suffice for me.
I have successfully converted DivX to SVCD format (DVD2SVCD with TMPGenc encoder), and added permanent subtitles (using VoxSub plugin) as I am subbing only japaneese movies, and don't care for selectable subtitles.
My problem is the following:
After adding permanent subtitles to SVCD using the following modifications to AVISynth script:
0=LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\Gabest\VobSub\textsub.vdf")
1=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
2=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
3=textsub(!file.sub)
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
!file.sub=F:\Movies\movie.srt
The subtiles come out somewhat stretched on the final SVCD.
The timing is correct if you wonder. I used VobSub's resynch and everything is perfect. Final movie comes out in widescreen, exactly as the DVDRip was done. No problems there either. Quality is great, and sound is perfect, and yes, subtitles appear, and are timed correctly.
However, they are somewhat wider on the SVCD rather than when playing on the PC with vobsub plugin and standalone .srt or .sub subfile.
I am attaching a screenshot. It is preview window from DVD2SVCD, as you can notice, the screen is resized, but subs are in normal aspect.
Later on I guess frameserver resizes the movie to original 16:9 widescreen format, and subs change from normal to stretched. I still don't quite understand why this happens, especially since the subs are added after the bicubic resize command.

Maybe for some it is not a big deal, but I feel like most people here I am simply a perfectionist. But I would really like some insight into this minor annoyance I encountered. There are quite a few asian movies I wanted to encode with perm subs, and this problem is slightly disturbing. :confused:
Thank you in advance,
cheers, Mike.
