external subtitles in DVD2VCD

[barabas]

I want to use external subtitles in my SVCD, not the subs which are in the vob files. Can DVD2SVCD do that?

[winxi]

Hello!
Open the latest DVD2SVCD - readme file and take a look under future!

greetings, winxi

you can do it right now. you just need to have the subs and aave a script to make the work for you , give a look in the avisynth database in the top of the advanced forum.

Basic topic. Basic forum. :)

[barabas]

That really helps!

if it's that basic, why do the others have such elaborate answers?

1. get vob sub
2. install vobsub with the subtitler filter for virtualdub. ( textsub.vdf)
3. get you subs and check the frame rate
4. the framerate of the movie and the subs must be the same ( you can adjust the subs frame rate with subadjust)
5 use this script in the ini file of d2s and edit the correct path for you.
[force_subs]
0=LoadPlugin(!temporalsoften2.dll)
1=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
2=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
3=Temporalsoften2(^x_value,^y_value,^z_value)
4=LoadPlugin(!textsub.vdf)
5=textsub(!file.sub)
!temporalsoften2.dll=C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Avisynth\temporalsoften2.dll
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
^x_value=3
^y_value=5
^z_value=7
!textsub.vdf=C:\Program Files\Gabest\VobSub\textsub.vdf
!file.sub=C:\sub1.sub

and another thing barabas, dont get mad with ultimate, this problem was already covered several times here , and i am allways giving the same solution, if you would have made a search befoure you started this post you would get all your answers !!

[barabas]

I'm not mad! I'm thankful for your help. It's just that I found so many different approaches for this problem during my search in the forum, including yours. Seems THE way to do it doesn't exist.

Hmmmm...

Basic forum...Basic moderator... :D

My feeling is some more patience towards newbies wouldn't hurt...
It doesn't take more time to put them in the right direction than to flame them...In both cases you need to type something so...


Waldok :cool:

[UltimateDBZ]

Dude - notice the smily. I wasn't flaming, it IS a basic topic, and therefore this is where it belongs. And just to note, I'm not sure what you consider elaborate answers, but I see none in this topic.

I said what I did because I needed to explain why I moved the topic. It'd be pretty rude to move a topic without an explanation (no matter how curt) of why. I didn't add more than I did, because, frankly, I have no idea how to fix the problem! :D

And, um, Waldok, I'm gonna assume that "simple moderator" wasn't an insult ;)

Hi Ultimate,

Forget about it, this was a bit "heavy" from me. Hye, learning to mind my own business on a daily basis ;)
I appreciate seeing a mod with a sense of humor here :)

Merry christmas to all.

Hi:
I noticed that to paste external subs into an avi file, it's necessary to use the script mentioned a couple posts ago. Now that script mention the temporalsoften2.dll file. I browsed my dvd2svcd folders but didn't find it (neither installing newer versions of the avisynth script).

Where can i find that file?

I readed at some page that now the file is included as a function, is that true? If so, do i have to change something in the script, naming a function instead of a file?

Thanks a lot

BTW, I use Avisynth 2.5 and Dvd2vcd v1.1.3 build 2

external stream subs are now a fixed feature for d2s... you do not need anymore this script. you can add the external file of the subs int the pull down menu when you hit go.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I didn't understand what

!temporalsoften2.dll=C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Avisynth\temporalsoften2.dll

means. What does "!temporalsoften2.dll" is supposed to be?
