Bad quality perm subs

[Movieslut]

Whenever I add perm subs using an external .srt the avisynth plugin used is producing rather lo-quality subs if compared to, say, textsub. However, as I am an extremely lazy person I perfer to use the avisynth plugin :)
To be more specific on the prob, text isnt properly outlined which make the text disappear on light scenes. I've tried fiddling with the settings and colors, but still no satisfactory results. Isnt there an easy way of telling dvd2svcd to use textsub instead of avisynth subtitler without having to edit the script manually? I guess it shouldnt be very difficult to create a prefs section in the program to change/set default script rules, or am I mistaking?
Ofcourse it is possible that I am doing something wrong, but using the default settings for the subtitler text disappear as described above. Another thing is that text isnt anti-aliased very much either, which in turn makes subs look rather grainy...
Anybody experiencing the same problems or am I just a naggy old sod

Yeah been having the same problems too.

To make things worse, textsub doesnt seem to be working with avisynth 2.51...right?

I made Permanent subtitles with avisynth script and insert in dvd2svcd ini file:
For example :

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize with subtitles + ssa]
0=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
1=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
2=LoadPlugin(!textsub.vdf)
3=textsub(!file.sub)
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
!textsub.vdf=C:\Archivos de programa\Gabest\VobSub\textsub.vdf
!file.sub=C:\TEMP\sub1.ssa

For edit substation alpha (colors, etc) you can use Subtitle Workshop http://www.redox.si/viplay/downloads/subtitleworkshop200.zip
Or other program.

But I don’t know how to make good qualities of subtitles direct with dvd2svcd.
Also I made a post , but nobody reply.:confused:

Avisynth subtitler seems not work with avisynth 2.51, well, seems that this is not really true, i think it's not working properly with the new colorspace of YV12, all than you have to do is place the AvisynthSubtitler just after the ConvertToYUY2() command needed if you're using CCE. So the script should look as follows:



LoadPlugin("C:\Avisynth 2.5\Plugins\mpeg2dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Avisynth 2.5\Plugins\decomb.dll") <- if deinterlacing
LoadPlugin("C:\DVD2SVCD\Avisynth2.5 Plugins\Avisynth Subtitler.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Movie.D2V")
LanczosResize(480,432)
AddBorders(0,72,0,72)
ConvertToYUY2()
AvisynthSubtitler("Z:\fz\","Forced.txt")


Only you need to resize and convert the position of the bmps manually :mad:
