View Full Version : No subtitles: Problem with DVDAuthor/SpuMux not processing sub files

Hi everybody,

I am new to this forum. Yes, I have read the DVD2SVCD Q&A and could not find an answer to my problem.

I have a DVD movie where DVDAuthor failed to mux the subs to the disk.

They have been successfully extracted, they are in the subs folder... I looked it up and found a SpuMux log file inside the folder. I assume SpuMux is the part of DVDAuthor responsible for processing the subs.

It repeats the following lines for all the subs:
WARN: Bad image, skipping line -1
STAT: 0:00:32.410
ERR: File Y:\Movie\Subs\en200008.bmp isn't a png

In the end, 0 subtitles were processed, as stated at bottom of the log file.

Obviously SpuMux tries to access bmp files as png files, even though the bmp files do have accompanying png files.
I want to recover the DVD2SVCD process from the point where Muxing begins, but will need to alter the script so that the right files (the png instead of the bmp) are used.

I am a noob to DVD conversion, but my guess is that the xml files (one for every sub stream) are the relevant script files. When opening I see that in fact they refer to the bmp files when in fact they should refer to the png files. But why is this xml script, created by DVD2SVCD wrong?

Thanks for your help,

Tyler
