subtitles in GKnot...

[soniv]

I´m usin Gknot 2.6 to encode my movies and I´m sure I followed the guide correctly. The problem is that my subtitles always look sqeezed when the resolution is 16:9. I watch the movie on the DVD and the subs look ok, but after the encode it looks awful, like they were squished (vertical) and get preetty hard to read due to it. Hope someone can help...
Thanx!

Hi-

Try putting them in after resize and see if they look any better (preview in Gknot or Nandub-Vdub before encoding).

Try putting them in after resize

Where do I set this? If I´m not mistaking, the options we got in Gknot are After Cropping,After Borders (VCD/SVCD) and Before Resizing.
Thanx

manono means to edit the .avs and move things around in it, prior to encoding.

Make your settings, press "Save" rather than "Save & Encode" -- then edit the .avs as desired.

To run the encoding, go back to GKnot and click the Encoder tab, then the Add Job button.

Good luck!

Hi-

Yes-do a cut and paste of the .avs. You can do it as jggimi described, or by using the Edit Button within Gknot when setting up the .avs. So the final .avs might look like this (but again, do a preview to make sure they look better):

LoadPlugin("C:\ARQUIV~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\System32\vobsub.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Advogado do Diabo\Advogado do Diabo.d2v")
trim(0,198293)
crop(6,59,705,358)
BicubicResize(672,288,0,0.5)
VobSub("C:\Advogado do Diabo\vts_01_0")

And next time you include one of these things, in the interest of saving space, you might want to leave off the lines starting with "#".

that should be sticky ...

[soniv]

Ok, sorry for the lines with "#" guys :p ! I made the subtitles look perfect with the third option (before cropping, I think) and really apreciated your help! Thanx a lot...
