Vobsub & delay.

[SILICON]

I used vobsub for permanet subtitles. I make:

1 - Ripped the wole DVD (no stream proccesing) to HD with SmartRipper. Make DVD2AVI.
2 - Execute: rundll32 vobsub.dll,Configure config.txt
config.txt

C:\film\vts_01_0.ifo
c:\film\subtitles
1 # ¿what is Program chain?
1 # Angle one
9 # the spanish subtitles stream . What means closed captions?
CLOSE


3 - Add subtitles with avisynth:

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\vobsub.dll")
mpeg2source("c:\film\film.d2v")
BilinearResize(496,448,6,0,708,480)
vobsub("c:\film\subtitles")
AddBorders(16,16,16,16)


The questions:
1 - What is Program Chain?
2 - I need only the spanish forced subtitles (ie: Elvish Subtitles in Lord of the Rings). I can teel this to the vobsub in config.txt file?
3 - In auto mode: can I tell the resize factor in config.txt?
4 - The delay. Can I tell in the config.txt?. Can vobsub see it?
5 - I can´t know the exact delay. Can I see it in any place?

6 - A good manual for this program?
Sorry by my bad english. Thanks.

1 # Angle oneUse 0 if there are no angles, it doesn't make any difference in 2.23, but it may fail in 2.24 :)
9 # the spanish subtitles stream . What means closed captions?cc, and you can also use two letter language identifiers for the rest of the subtitle streams.
BilinearResize(496,448,6,0,708,480)
vobsub("c:\film\subtitles")Put vobsub before the resizing, subpictures are targetting the native dvd resolution (720x480/720x576), in this case vobsub has to resize them to lower resolution and vobsub doesn't resize so nicely and fast as avisynth.
1 - What is Program Chain?I won't explain this now, choose exactly what you set in smartripper when ripping the vobs.
2 - I need only the spanish forced subtitles (ie: Elvish Subtitles in Lord of the Rings). I can teel this to the vobsub in config.txt file?No, open the endresult in subresync and the idx in notepad and delete the lines which doesn't have "yes" in the forced column. Then save idx in notepad, reopen it in subresync and save it again in subresync under a different name. If you did everything ok, the output .sub will only contain the forces subtitles.3 - In auto mode: can I tell the resize factor in config.txt?Do you mean the two scale values? Those you can't.4 - The delay. Can I tell in the config.txt?. Can vobsub see it?Again no, all settings can be changed in the idx after the indexing.5 - I can´t know the exact delay. Can I see it in any place?Depends on what you want to do with it. In the idx you can see the starting timestamp for each cell, but for correcting other errors you could use MPC, it is very easy to sync the subs with it. It can even load your d2v file.6 - A good manual for this program?No, the documentation team went to hawaii and do not want to come back.
