how to get GK to auto load a Vdub vdf subtitle filter?

[cpuuk]

I want to perm encode subs into my avi using *.ssa files. I can load the ssa and subtitlefilter.vdf into Vdub, and re-encode (icky) a file manully after GK has finished it's sterling work. Want I REALLY want to do is to get GK to load the subtitlefilter.vdf & ssa file as part of it's normal encode script run.

So where\ how can I get the GK script to load the additional vdf & ssa file as part of the encode?

BTW, I can do the vobsub stuff just fine, it' just that I need to add ad hoc text, and the ssa approach looks like it should work. And adding the ssa after the GK encode has finished obviously degrades the avi.

Hi-

Edit the .avs to add the TextSub filter for AviSynth instead, when you want to add SSA format subtitles to your movie.

I thought that was the way forward, but what is the syntax? I am unable to find an example avs which utilizes ssa.

Hi-

First make sure that the VSFilter is loaded like you're going to burn in VobSubs. Something like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\Path\To\VSFilter.dll")

Then add the TextSub line to your .avs. I usually put it below the resize line:

TextSub("D:\Diabolique\Diabolique.ssa")

However, TextSub isn't installed by default when you install VobSub. If it doesn't work at first for you, reinstall VobSub, and hit the "+" by Plugins, and then check the box saying, "TextSub for VirtualDub and AviSynth."
