textsub: a bug?

well if i use a script like this:
Avisource("raw.avi").textsub("mysub.ssa")
here's a screenshot:

It's difficult to notice, but you can see a "squarre" around the subtitle, specially on the red colours.

If i put many textsub in the script to increase the problem i get this:

well this time it's easily noticiable ^^

oki when you normally use textsub it's hard to see it (but in fullscreen and specilly on red colors it's not that hard) but i wonder if its possile to correct this bug ^^ since i know it, my eyes can't avoid it

You mean chroma subsampling artifacts ? It's part of YV12. ConvertToRGB32() solves it, but only for watching, cause when you encode to XviD/DivX it'll convert to YV12 again and you'll get the blocks again .

No, He's talking about that gray box that encompasses the subtitles. That does seem really weird, and it could possibly be having an adverse effect on the compressability.

Hmmm. I saw the grey box, but I thought it was intended or something.

It seems like Alpha Leveled Opaque Box was added by mistake. That is anoying, what vsfilter ver are u using anyway?

"It seems like Alpha Leveled Opaque Box was added by mistake."
right, i could be this.

i got this problem with every version of vsfilter, i asked some fansubber to test it, and they got the same problem.

just put many textsub("file.ssa") in your script, this will add the wrong alpha box and increase the problem, so you can see it.
But i'm sure, with only one textsub(), on the red colour with fullscreen it's really anoying.

i hope it's easy to fix ^^


edit:
"just put many textsub("file.ssa")"
i mean that:
Avisource("raw.avi").textsub("mysub.ssa").textsub("mysub.ssa").textsub("mysub.ssa").textsub("mysub.ssa").textsub("mysub.ssa").textsub("mysub.ssa") etc.. ^^

Actually it looks like textsub is taking the small rectangle where to put the subs, and converts it to RGB and back.

i did this a month ago, so i guess gabest doesn't read his pm, so i post it here with the hope that this time he will read it ^^

Your sub says "Tout le monde a l'air bien de s'amuser".

That's not french. The right sentence is :

"Tout le monde a l'air de bien s'amuser".

Could you test it in RGB colorspace?

Hm, so it doesn't have to do with YV12->RGB->YV12 conversion. Strange.

bug with vdubmod too :-(

[idea] does someone have gabest phone? [/idea]

I don't have Gabest phone number, but just another idea : thank him for his great player in MPC thread and slip this problem too.....


PS: French touch powaaaa !!!

[Manao]

Already done

LOL this thread turn into a frog invasion

anyway, about the alpha channel opaque box (used for shadow i guess), is it hopeless ?

[JediNight]

Usually don't dig up old threads, but figured this was the best way to find out if this bug has been fixed at all? Was told not to use VSFilter on my current project bc of it, but if its fixed I'd like to save the 30% encoding speed for not converting colorspace.
