Making a vcd from divX file and subtitles as a .txt file????

[sleeky]

Hi guys,
I have made many vcds by using DivX files, however I have recently got hold of a .avi file which has the subtitles as an external .txt file. Is there anyway of putting these subtitles into the film so I can put it on vcd with the subtitles?

it can be done easily in your conversion by adding the subs to an avisynth script and using vobsubs textsub filter in avisynth.. much easier then encoding 2x like jorel suggests..

i don't "see" he wants to put a subs in avisynth,
and he don't have to encode it again?
put subs in divx or avi...etc,
to vcd like i post,works.
thanks for your observation and please
turn it clear if i miss something.;)

He wants to put it on a VCD. So he wants to convert the avi to vcd format. Which means it needs to be "permanent" subtitles, because VCDs do not support switchable subtitles. So the best way to convert from avi to mpg(vcd) is to create an avs script with textsub. Which can be loaded into TMPGEnc and encoded normally.

Alternatively, use DVD2SVCD's AVI2VCD option. By loading the VCD-settings.ini file and checking under frameserver edit avs as part of encoding. Then add two lines to the avs script file.

LoadPlugin("C:\locationofvdf\textsub.vdf")
TextSub("C:\locationofsubfile\subtitle.txt")

I usually put the textsub line right before resize and the loadplugin with the rest of the loadplugin.

This way you can use either CCE or TMPGEnc w/o too much hassle of configuring.

ok,it works.....but read this:

(don't need to convert from avi to mpg(vcd) to create an avs script with textsub....)
read carefully,please...some people don't understand me....
it's simple.

thanks!
ps:
you can convert avi,divx,xvid...etc,
(rename vobs to avi or mpeg works too)
to vcd or svcd.;)

What's the point to go through all that hassle when all you have to do is type a few lines out (after getting avisynth and textsub when you install vobsub) and you can load that in tmpgenc and encode permanent that way? It's a lot simpler. Your help is sound, but not really needed here when he just wants to make a simple vcd. No offense.

Cheers guys,
Yeah LeonMcNichol was right. Where can I get this textsub program from?

Cheers,
Lee.

When you install vobsub, just check TextSub for VirtualDub and Avisynth. Read a little about avisynth it's pretty simple. At least you would need 3-4 lines.
