tmpgenc, avisynth, inverse telecine and subtitles

[travis morgan]

i finally had a movie i had to perform inverse telecine on and add subtitles too. the movie was blood: the last vampire. excellent movie by the way.

after first reading doom9's guides, my first thought was this is going to be kind of complicated. maybe i didn't really want to try this. so i started thinking, there might be an easier way to do this. that's when it hit me. why not use the .avs file that gordian knot produces. tmpgenc can read an .avs file. so i modified the .avs file and loaded it into tmpgenc as the video source.

**modified .avs file**
LoadPlugin("C:\dvd2cd\apps\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\dvd2cd\apps\GORDIA~1\InverseTelecine.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\WINNT\System32\vobsub.dll")
#
# SOURCE
mpeg2source("C:\dvd2cd\video\divx\blood the last vampire\video.d2v")
#
# IVTC
InverseTelecine(40,10,15)
#
# SUBTITLES
VobSub("C:\dvd2cd\video\divx\blood the last vampire\vts_01_0")

i loaded the appropriate .wav file as the wav source. everything work accordingly. the movie turned out great.

this process is probably nothing new to some people, but i don't recall ever reading anything about it in the forums.

i tried your way, but it didn't work on my encoding.
i've checked everything...path to dll files, registry but subtitles
didn't appear.

what's wrong? no message error from tmpgenc

:confused:

[travis morgan]

did you first rip the subtitles? there is a tab in the gordian knot application labelled "subtitles" where you can do this.

[llemor]

yeah, I ripped it. now I'm using TMPGEnc 2.53,
WindowsXP, P4 1600 processor, 256 MB DDR.

[travis morgan]

may i see what you .avs file looks like?

[llemor]

Thanks for your quick response.

Here's my .avs:

LoadPlugin("d:\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Windows\System32\vobsub.dll")
#
# SOURCE
mpeg2source("d:\movie01\VOBs\jurassic.d2v")
#
# SUBTITLES
VobSub("d:\movie01\VOBs\vts_01_0")

[travis morgan]

your .avs file appears to be ok.

did you select a subtitle language after the rip? i selected 01-English.

[llemor]

yeah, sure. i've ripped about 20 movies with subtitles in DivX
format using GKnot, and VCD w/o subtitles using TMPGEnc.
I'm just curious on what you did, that's why I tried it also but
no success.

thanks anyway, i'll try to figure it out again my setting ;)

[travis morgan]

not sure why it's not working for you. with just a few modifications to the .avs file you should be able to load it into tmpgenc and it work fine. sorry i couldn't really help. if you figure it out, let me know.

just a thought...when you use subtitles, do you permenantly encode into the video?
