SUP subtitles

[Gujs]

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to load sup subtitle format in avisynth scripts?

Thanks for help,

Gujs

I remember giving it a quick try but couldn't make it work.

It doesn't work for me either. Is there another way?

I recompiled the source with the latest Visual C++ Express and it seems to be working - at least with Avisynth 2.57. See the attachment, there's only the DLL in that zip file, you could try if it works on your system.

I keep getting an "invalid arguments" error.

For Blu-ray's & HD-DVD's sup, there is SupTitle ;

Other sup formats can be converted to Blu-ray sup with Subtitle Edit.

Yeah, that doesn't work reliably either.

Oh, maybe a working solution here (using textsub.vdf made for Virtualdub) ;

But this is 20 years old, thus probably not BD Sup compliant.

There is SubImageFile (https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynthPlus-SubImageFile) (with BlendSubtitles.avsi (https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynthPlus-SubImageFile/blob/main/BlendSubtitles.avsi) for easier usage).

"Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'G3"

EDIT: I finally got it working! I can now output video that is an error-for-error match for what you'd see on a TV. Thanks, StvG!

Fortunately, there are four different subtitle tracks with all different bugs, so I can use Trim() to switch between them and combine them like so:

ffvideosource("01.mkv").BlendSubImage("01.track_4.sup")

sub6=BlendSubImage("01.track_6.sup")
sub7=BlendSubImage("01.track_7.sup")

v=trim(sub6,0,10341)+trim(sub7,10342,10862)+trim(sub6,10863,0)
a=nicdtssource("01jpn.dts")

audiodub(v,a).crop(240,0,-240,-0).arearesize(640,480)


EDIT: I got as far as Episode 3 before noticing that some lines of dialog are missing from ALL FOUR subtitle tracks. Gkids and Shout Factory completely buttfucked the North American Blu-Ray release of Evangelion.
