Hi everybody. I am working with VobSub + Avisynth and I have a problem that is making me crazy.

I'm using Vsfilter.dll + Avisynth to display subtitles:

For example:

Avisource("D:\DivX\Smallville\Crusade.avi",False,pixel_type="RGB32")
Audio=WavSource("D:\Temp\Smallville\Crusade.wav")
LoadPlugin("C:\Path\vsfilter.dll")
TextSub("D:\MytitlePath\Crusade.srt")

Everything is right and the subtitles display over the avi. The strange thing is that vsfilter completely ignores the settings of subtitle format. Always display a white characters with a constant size using some transparent shadow, nice looking, these are not the settings. No matter what settings I'm using (blue,red green font, Arial, Tahoma, o whatever) always shows the same constant font, like sort of default settings

I tried to configure vsfilter using
rundll32 d:\vsfilterpath\vsfilter.dll,DirectVobSub
but no results. All the settings are ignored.

Any ideas? I already registered the dll.
What's wrong with my settings? Why I cannot change it?
Help!
:confused:

Last time I used srt with vsfilter was in virtual dub (so vsfilter for VD) so what I say may be wrong. In that old case the textsub couldn't use srt as it is, it could only work with ssa/ass, so it transformed the srt in a default ssa style. Fortunately for VD there was a dialog to let you tweak how the final ssa could look. It may still be the case for you. As how to change the default style for avisynth, maybe it's the same for changing the directshow vsfilter default.

I have the same problem with ssa. After trials and errors, I finally fixed the problem by saving the ssa file in ANSI code. It seems like the VSfilter or the vobsub has two build, one with ANSI, one with unicode, you need to adjust your ssa file to the corresponding one.
