Scenarist subtitle problem

[bends666]

hi,

i'm trying to author with scenarist but even if i fillow the guide closely i've got an error msg :

Warning Track(VTS__01_P01.1_d2v-vfapi-t) Sub-Picture stream 3 does't have Sub-Picture data.

i've got this msg for all the sub picture streams

anyone know how to proceed?

thanks

If there is no subpicture data in that clip you can add a blank subpicture and see if that works.

Thanks for answering me.

The fact is i've got the bmp files located at the same place as *.sst files but it doesn't seem to be imported.
Here is how i do. Once i've made all the titles with video and audio, i import subtitles which were generated with Doitfast4U, and when to process is running the dialog window says this error. I pass through but when i want to finalize it i can't because of this error. Then i tried to but the bmp files by myself into each subtitle track but i get the same results. Is there something wrong with DIF4U? or am i a real dumb and there is something i can't conceive?

thanks for the help

As far as I know that error pops up when you have the subpicture stream but no file in it.If you check whatever title or pcg that clip is in just make sure there is at least one file in the subpicture stream.I don't know what else would cause that.

ok i understand but when you import subtitle with *.sst files isn't it enough? indeed i can't see anything in the subtitles streams that have been created, but if if drag and drop one bmp files in one of the stream same error appears

so?

thanks

Bends, when you try to import the .sst file is there any other message that comes up. Or is that warning message dispalyed immediatly?

The error will go away as long as theres something in every subpicture stream that you created.
If you have a sst file that has bmps in the folder that DoiItFast created it should be able to import.Just to make sure were on the same page,when you import the subs into scenarist your ticking one of the numbered streams that mach the number of the sub you want to import to.It does seem wierd that you've imported subs and you can't see anything in any of the streams.
When you compile doest the error message start with subpicture 1 and end eith your last numbered sub.

Well all the sst files are located in a folder with all the bmp linked to the right subtitle stream. That's why i don't understand.

I don't really understand what could be wrong either.Have you tried ripping the subs again.

Check the location that's referenced to in the sst file . Open it in notepad and see what's the location of the bmps according to your sst. Check if this is right.

Otherwise rerip the subs and then import them.
