RV9 and subs

[datascab]

Has anyone managed to get working switchable subtitles using AutoRV9?

I ripped the subs using Vobsub, this created a small *.idx and 30mb *.sub file.

I loaded the subs into the subtitle tab within AutoRV9, selected external and ticked transparent.

The final file properties are available here: -

I dont know if the subtitles are classed as a stream.

I've tried to play in realone, it plays ok but i dont know how to enable the subs.

I've also tried it in MPC (version 6.4.7.3) and i get a filter error on stream 2: -

Stream 2

I find this confusing since the file is not in an AVI container nor does it contain any ac3 type stream.

Thanks for reading :)

Easiest way is to use Matroska as container and mux your files into one Matroska file.

It looks to be real's ac3 format (dnet). In directshow mode you will need an ac3 decoder.

strange, there should be no reason to use the old dnet ac3 based codec. I even doubt it's possible to select it in AutoRV9. Maybe it's the .ac3 file in the same folder as the .rmvb file, since MPC is able to auto-open sound files in the same folder as the video/audio file...

I have not tried subs of that format. I have tried .srt in an external file, and srt inside a Matroska file, and both play fine in MPC (with vsfilter.dll installed). The only subs that work in RealOne are .rt (RealText), so you have to use MPC for these other formats.

I just noticed that txt, there is only one audio stream in this file, isn't there? Maybe it got autoloaded as karl says.

hi,

hum in autorv9 u can select .idx/.sub (raw subtitle) file but only for permanent subtitle (using vsfilter.dll) the external subtitle are some .rt file (ascii file).
normally autorv9 detect if the .sub is ascii or binary and select between vobsub and textsub filter, but in any case u can't use raw subtitle as external (because i can't convert it in .rt file).
i will check why it have doesn't disable the external and transparent button).

BUT :) u can let the .sub/.idx in the same folder as the .rmvb file (with the same name) and if u launch MPC the subtitle will be added (think to select the option "autoload subtitle" in the QT/RM panel in the MPC options).

PS: i don't understand why it have create you an audio section (because the subtitle part doesn't deal with the video encoding process).
if u want u can find a tool in the realvideo thread to extract a stream (for exemple your not readable audio stream) it will avoid u to redo an encode.

PS2: hum it seems to me 30 mb for a raw subtitle is an huge file ?

Bye.

Hello,

The original ac3 file is in that folder.

I didnt realise that might happen, I shall move it and try again.

With regards to the subs how could I create a *.rt based subs file without the autorv9 encoding process?

I can only assume the subs file was so large because the extraction is graphical (*.bmp) instead of OCR text based?

I was hoping to have all the files in the *.rmvb container, like you can do with matroska, is this possible?

I'm not keen on using matroska at the moment because of editing issues. Up to now, rmeditor is the only program that i've had success with.

If Pamel is reading, please check the post I made on the Matroska forum at corecoded.

Thanks

hi,

> was hoping to have all the files in the *.rmvb container, like you can do with matroska, is this possible?

for the moment if u made external subtitl (using .rt + .smil file) u will obtain 3 file (with your .rmvb) for the moment u can't (yet ^^) mux directely subtitle in the container.

Ps: if u open the .idx/.sub in subrip software u can normally made an ocr of your file and obtain text file.

Bye.
