sst and scenarist

[Lev]

hey guys

how is it possible that this in the sst 01:50:02:21

actually is 01:49:56:03 in scenarist and on my dvd-player?

i guess it has something to do with the framerate?

does it mean something is wrong?

the subtitles are in sync.. the timecode is the sst just doesn't correspont..

i got everything in sync by just messing around a bit with the input/output fps until the subtitle delay was about the same during the whole movie and after that correct the delay by putting in a delay.. putting in small negative delay.. putting in a even smaller delay etc etc

What program generated the sst?

[Lev]

sst was made with maestrosbt (29,97/29,97 no dropframe)
but i used substation alpha and subtitle workshop for the timecode adjusting..
the subtitles were ripped from a dvdr with hardcoded burned in subs using avisubdetector and a avs/d2v script doitfast4u made..

You've got a conflict there - non-drop is 30fps. If you see a timecode that is lower, as it is in Scenarist, that means it is the non-drop/30fps code.

well the subtitles are in sync on the authored dvd..
does it matter that the sst used wasn't ok?
i mean did that affect the dvd structure or is it just for importing in scenarist and scenarist takes it from there?

[mpucoder]

If they are in sync then the sst was OK. Scenarist can show you non-drop times, but still import using drop-frame.

how do i avoid this the next time?

what should i do exactly?

the subtitles are on a vhs sourced dvd and hardcoded into the videostream.. so i need avisubdetector.. thats for sure..

lets i rip the dvd with doitfast4u so a .avs is made.. and i work with that in avisubdetector.. after going through the whole movie i have the script in .ssa format..

now what? the dvd i'm gonna put them on is 29,97 fps interlaced ntsc..
