Subtitles in boxes

[CrazyPortuguese]

Well I've this problem in some movies that I compress the subtitles apear with some white lines in the border mostly on the right and at the bottom. Is there any way to solve this?

Thanks

Are you using not latest program version? I had this problem with 7.4 version. Then in 9.1( if i remember properly ) this bug was fixed. I am using now 9.3 version and "boxes" don't appear anymore

Well I'm using 1.0.9 build 3 I belive the same has yours. Aparently it only happens in some movies.

Hello,
can you tell us some examples of what you talking about?

[Blogas]

So just open latest DVD2SVCD readme file(sticky):
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15623

In the chapter about 1.0.8.1 version you will find:

- Bugfix: I think I got the subtitle bug fixed. There shouldn't be any subs with a white bottom line any more.

Maybe this fix don't work with some kind of movies you have ripped?
What concrete movies have this issue?

i can confirm that even with the latest pre-release beta (the one in the "robshot modification" thread) sometimes, only with specific movies, i got subtitles with bottom or right or bottom-right lines.

Hmm. didn't see this thread before..

I opened one myself here:

It seems like we are talking about the same. The white line bug really is solved in version 108 build 1 but is reintroduced in the latest version..

I ripped the subtitles with 108 and then started converting with 109. When the audio ripping started, i copied the 108 subtitles over the 109..

It's a workaround..

Yeah its exacly that :)

It hapned again this time with "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001)". Wich is the last version that doesnt have this kind of problems ?

I see that dvd2svcd is back!

Can you shine some light on this topic? Did you use old code for the latest version? Version 1.8 works fine but 1.9 doesnt :(

[dvd2svcd]

I need some test material to fix the problem.

[M1ckey M0use]

Do you have any DVD's from RCV? I get this error on all of them. I can provide a BMP from the 109 rip and from the 108 rip to let you see the difference. Is that enough? Or do you need a chapter from one of the DVD's?

Here's another thread about it:

1. What is RCV ?
2. It would help greatly if you could provide me with a chapter.

[M1ckey M0use]

I see now that you probably won't have a RCV DVD. It's a dutch company that distributes movies.

I don't know about the guys who have the same problems if they only have these problems with RCV movies.

Oh, even stranger is, the subtitles show correct in the preview window...

I see if i can rip a small chapter. My upload is only 16 KB/s (max) so thats not much.

[M1ckey M0use]

The smallest chapter (vobs in zip) that i can reproduce the box with is 313 MB. I assume that it's a bit large for 16 KB/s

If you want it, let me know.

[dvd2svcd]

Well, it's about 6 hours and it is your connection so you decide. I have PM'ed you just in case.

[M1ckey M0use]

Okay, it's done:

[dvd2svcd]

And fixed, thanks for you help :)

[M1ckey M0use]

Great!

Can't wait for the new version to be released :)

But don't rush. I know you're a busy man.
