If you use GK, press edit when you reach the save .avs tab(provided you use the normal SaveAvs window). You will be presented with the avs script that GK uses.
Remove the # in front of this line:
#LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\GordianKnot\AviSynthPlugins\VSFilter.dll")

Replace that line : #VobSub("FileName") by:
TextSub("path to file\subtitle.srt")
(removing the #)

hit preview to make sure it´s there and you didn´t make any typo,then hit save or save and encode.

as you can see i changed the firsl line like you sayd but i cant find the sencond line you are talking about =/ and when i click preview it just puts the setings back the way they wherei guess because the new orders im giving it dont make sence could you tell me where do i have to add the second line thanks alot!! ( it also resises the video triying to make it wide screen but gordian knot will keep the original size if i tell him to right? )

[niamh]

You don´t actually need to replace that line, it´s just handy, because the vobsub subtitle line in GK was already in the right position so to speak... just type in
It should not reset the parameters you entered though, but that´s because , seeing your log, you´re using the advanced avs window(that explains the lack of the vobsub line ;)), and that works a bit different, you cant actually edit the script itself IIRC....let me check....

Ok, in that avs window, go to the filters tab, click on the + button, choose a filter tab, scroll down to Vsfilter, expand it, select textsub, fill in the path to the subtitle in the yellow box between the " " as in C:\my documents\my subtitle.srt for example , and click ok...you will see textsub has been added in the filters tab. then click preview, and so on :)

The first method I gave you is valid for the normal avs window.

PS:GK will keep whatever size you tell it to, so make sure you didnt resize it the wrong way yourself ;)

oo i see thanks alot i dint find the EDIT buton oyu told me that why i started cliking everithing in options until i found a atb that looked similiar to what oyu where talking about. i went back to normal mode and now i see everithing you are talking about i will try it and let you know thanks for your time :)~~!!

EDIT
wot i finally got it!! now it just says i dont have the pluging lol, but i know ohw to do it now il just go download the plugin thanks alot :)!!

Hey I've tried what you've said above and I always get an error when trying to preview it. The error says:

TextSub connot open "file location and name"
(F:\progra~1\Gordia~1\Preview.avs, line 66)

The filename and location are correct is this just an error with preview or will it carry over to the final avi. Thanks for any and all help you provide.

[niamh]

Can you paste line 66 then please?(it must be the textsub one)
If it errors on preview it will error on encode too.

@juliox, don´t forget to load the vsfilter plugin by removing the # in front of that first line

[feiner]

This is line 66 of the idx file

timestamp: -02:18:58:066, filepos: 000001000

is that what you ment.

If I'm way off let me know this is the first time I've tried to use sub titles.

[niamh]

No, line 66 of preview.avs :) i.e. your avisynth script. That´s where the error is

[feiner]

ahh k gotcha now


TextSub("F:\MOBILE_SUIT_GUNDAM_MOVIE_I\VIDEO_TS\Mobile_suit_gundam_movie_1")

thats what its sposed to look like right? or wrong?

[niamh]

You simply forgot the extension. No extension is needed for the vobsub command but for textsub you´ll need to put .srt .sub or whatever format it´s in. Obviously it can´t find the file, because it doesn´t exist ;)

[feiner]

Ok thanks if I have further problems I'll be back.

[feiner]

I've tried both the idx file and the sub file. Neither of them work. Maybe I did something else wrong. I just used the subtitles tab of gknot to get the sub and idx files is there something else I need to do?

[niamh]

Ok we´re not talking about the same thing. Juliox wanted to hardcode a srt file, you´re trying to hardcode a vobsub file. The line is vobsub(....) , not textsub. GK non advanced avs window comes prepackaged with it so to speak, so all you need to do is tick the subtitles box and do no more(well browse to the file ;)). If you use the advanced avs window, add the filter vobsub (in vsfilter) rather than textsub. And no, in your case, no extension is needed. idx/sub files are bmp based, not text based, so the method is different.

[feiner]

Ok thanks I figure it out. I had used it before and it didnt work but it was because I didn't rip all the vobs and cells from the dvd only the actuall movie ones so I messed around with it and figured out which vobs and cells I actually needed. Next time I'll note which ones I ripped and make it easier on myself. thanks for all your help though and by the way which program do you use to get the textsub files in case I ever wanna try that? Thanks again.
