textsub problem

[clickit]

Hi to all

i have this problem with textsub.vdf (vobsub v2.23) !!!

i'm trying to use it with avisynth v2.5 in this script

loadplugin("textsub.vdf")
textsub("a.srt")

it complains about 'unexpected exception...'

and when i change with these lines

loadvirtualdubplugin("textsub.vdf","textsub")
textsub("a.srt")

then it complains about invalid arguments to "textsub" function

can anybody help me

thanks in advance

I assume you are using the one (vobsub) for AviSynth v2.5 ?

The regular version of vobsub will not work in v2.5a! Gabest has made a special version available in this thread. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41196) This is a .dll only for use with AviSynth2.5a and must not be put in the system dir, but rather in your regular 2.5a plugin dir.

First you need to convert the srt file to SSA format. Sub2SSA is a great tool for this purpose.

Now when you've got the converted SSA file, you can edit it with notepad and I would change the font to size 14 (can also be done in sub2ssa immediately).

Now check if there are any <i> and </i> codes in the SSA file. These are pieces of the subtitles that a player that supports subrip files will show in italic but I've found out that this will not work when using the filter to get them into your SVCD.

So what I mean is basically, what you see in the SSA file will be what you'll see on the screen. So remove the <i> codes...
(possible there are some for underline too but I don't know that code).

Now you need to have vobsub installed...this installation will provide you with a textsub.vdf filter that you may copy into your /avisynth folder for convenience (I also put the SSA in this folder).

LoadPlugin("C:\Avisynth\textsub.vdf")
TextSub("C:\Avisynth\your_file.ssa")

this should do the trick I think :):)

grtzz.

It's not needed to convert subs to SSA , 'couse vobsub reads SRT (with HTML tags <i>). Clickit problem was conflict of diffrent versions of avisynth (he tried to use VobSub2.23 with new avisynth2.5).
