Use of external subtitles in Gordian Knot

[numaios]

Hello!

Is it possible to load subtitles in *.srt or *.ssa formats in the AviSynth script file? Or you can only use *.idx format?
I'd like to use yellow characters in my encoded videos and I think the only way to do that is loading the VirtualDub filter (subtitler) and then the SubStationAlpha file. Is it possible for Gordian Knot to do that?

Thank you very much!

use textsub() instead of vobsub()

Hi-

All you want is a yellow color (so do I) when the VobSubs are a different color? It's a simple matter to change the color of the original subs in the VobSub Configuration. Come back if you need detailed instructions.

I'll convert to SSA if I don't like the font that the VobSubs use. Then, as niamh says, use TextSub, which is part of the VobSub package. Just edit your .avs to load the VSFilter, just as you do with the idx/sub. Then add this line (adjusted for your movie):

TextSub("C:\Path\To\Movie.ssa")

Thank you very much!

So I can press "Edit" in the AviSynth windows, load VSfilter and change VobSub for TextSub(the-path-of-the-*.ssa-or-*.sub)? That's great!

I tried to do that and it worked! But it's interesting to know that I can load TextSub in an AviSynth script file, when I'm baking up a DVD that hasn't got any subtitle stream (so I can't get any *.idx/*.sub file), and I want to add a textual one.

Thanks again!
