View Full Version : Subtitles too big after encoding

I'm trying to create an SVCD with permanent subs (since selectable ones aren't too compatible according to videohelp) and my current script looks like this:

[Filtering]--->[Resize]--->[Filtering]--->TextSub("X:\wherever\subtitle.srt")

But the subs become too big when viewing the final encode in my computer, and in the TV the result is worse. I'm using avisynth+CCE for the filtering/encoding, then Nero Burning Rom for the authoring (a still screenshot for a menu is ok for me in this case). Is there any way to solve this issue?

Hmm, I answered to your other thread about this in subtitle forum I think.
About this prob if you have VobSub instaled, in the instalation folder there is small utility named SubResynch. So you load the srt in it and click Edit. Here you can change about almost everything in subtitle appearance. Then you click save. Now the progy makes a file in the same folder where your srt is located with extension .srt.style. VSFilter understands these files and it will place the subs onto the video correspondingly your settings in .style file (you still point the textsub command in the script to the .srt file). BTW the .style file is text file, you can edit it in notepad.
