View Full Version : Need HELP converting from NTSC DIVx to PAL SVCD with subs.

Hi. I am having some difficulties in doing this.
First it was TMPGEnc (2.54a) that wasn't reading Virtualdub VDR files - it was missing a MSVCR70.DLL file, which I now have (thanks to Nic for that)and everything is working fine, in what concerns frameserving anyway.
Now that I encoded a little bit of the DIVx to MPEG2, I noticed that the subtitles aren't in synch with the movie. I think I followed Doom9's guide correctly...
What I did was:
1st - save uncompressed WAV using Virtualdub
2nd - change framerate from 23.976 to 25fps using Avifrate
3rd - convert uncompressed WAV to 25fps MP2 using BeSweet
4th - direct stream copy of just the video with no audio to AVI file
5th - converted subs (MicroDvd SUB format) from 23.976 to 25fps with subadjust v1.56
6th - converted 25fps SUB to SSA using SUB2SSA
7th - Opened video only AVI file in Virtualdub, applied Subtitle filter (25fps SSA subs), start frameserver
8th - go to TMPGEnc, browse for fake avi file (VDR extension) and MP2 audio, encode (just a little)

Ok, the result is fine, except for the synch. What might be wrong?

Sorry for the long post, but I prefer to explain everything I did so that someone doesn't ask all this again.
Oh, and sorry for my bad english - not that bad, really, is it? ;)

Thanks a lot for any help.

Before someone starts yelling at me, I'm sorry because I just noticed my post isn't really related to DVD2SVCD. Maybe it is a little, if someone tells me I can all this in DVD2SVCD... That would be just great, because I am starting to like this program a lot, at least for direct DVD to SVCD rips... but what about my problems with the DIVx to SVCD conversion?

Again, sorry for the misplaced post :rolleyes:

That's ok. I moved to the SVCD forum.

Framerate conversion in Subadjust is little confusing.
Check is new sub shorter or longer... If it's longer you need to replace source and target framerate.
