Vobsub: ignoring offset?

[ermannob]

Hi everybody.
I'm using Vobsub to get permanent subtitles on a movie that's gonna be compressed with VDubMod. I noticed that that subs were late, so I set an offset to -5000 (ms) in the idx file (in the appropiate option, at the top of the file).
When I load the avs script (generated by GordianKnot and then tuned by me) and I preview the result with VDubMod, subs are still late, like without offset.

Anyone had the same problem or know how to solve it?

Thank you very much

I solved my problem in a different way. I ripped the graphic subtitles to text and I adjusted timestamps with Subrip. The I used the subtitler filter in VDubMod.
Things now seem to work, but there's a bad thing: VDubMod cannot use filters unless you set the video to full processing mode, losing quality and wasting time.

The I used the subtitler filter in VDubMod.

you can load .avs files in VDM too, and then use fast repack.

and there is a textsub avisynth filter coming with VSfilter too

TextSub("LoB10_r0.ssa")
or
TextSub("LoB10_r0.srt")

working in YV12

..no need to use VD filters and the full processing mode just for text subs :D

Thank you very much for the info.
Unfortunately I already compressed the movie. If I recompress it with your method I get a better result or it's the same? (I was thinking about recompressing the movie, but only if I get some benefits! :) )

the filter is the same, except that in avisynth you can work in YV12, ie without the colorspace conversion which takes place by using the "full mode". so, according to theory the avisynth sould look a little better. But i have never seen much difference :D

wrong not the same filter.
i havent seen you used subtitler which i dont know, but Textsub is a function of VSfilter (new VobSub, Gabest) judge how you like VSfilter quality and you know how you'll like Textsub
