emblemed subtitles?

[juliox]

hello im enconding divx files to portable format divx files... so im just making them smaller for my archos 240 pmp. my question is i have a divx video a mp3 sountrack and a srt subfile i know how to conbine and encode the first 2 but is there any program out there that cna enconde the 3 of them into one .avi file? i tried dorcor divx but no subs i tried GK but subs only work for .vob files not when you encode divx to divx... can some one help me please?

AutoGK does not support .avi input yet, exiztone.

GK does, and to add external subs, one merely adds the TextSub() filter manually, and point to the .srt file. You can use GK's "Edit" button (available during Save & Encode) for this purpose.

An AviSynth 2.5 compatible version of Textsub is available from http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises/files/textsub_20040308.zip

Hello!

Guys I've a sample divx5 file with embedded selectable subtitles (8 subtitles in an avi file). The subtitles are in some kind of bitmap format, definitely not text format.

Philips LX9300, DVP720 and Yamada 6700 can play and switch between this subtitles.

The DivX Player 2.5 can also show this subtitles but only the first stream and I can't turn off, switch to another.

Can anyone tell me how to create, mux into avi files such subtitles and what kind of subtitles are these?

TIA,

NA


DXSB is the DivX Networks proposed new format with subtitle & multi-audio

Can anyone tell me how to create such subtitles into avi files?

You need the programm fuse.exe from the DivX Media Development SDK here: link (http://labs.divx.com/)
It let you use .srt text files as source, converts it to bitmap and mux it with an avi file.
Dont know how to create the real bitmap subtitle format, they call it xsub.

The good thing is, these subtitles are perfectly smooth...

that would explain why dxn can say that even the oldest dvd player already supports "their subtitles"

[new_age]

I think the same.
But it would be nice if we have some specifications and we can start writing our tools to convert dvd/vobsub subtitles into this xsub.

[Shinigami-Sama]

hmm
that suonds about right
either way having subs without hardcoding is a good thing and compatbilty is a plus :)
and I hope this gts out of beta with out troubles
so I can start to make more backups :)

they so "most", not all...

evenso, i dont think you can just rename vobsubs to xsub(tm)

evenso, i dont think you can just rename vobsubs to xsub(tm) you mean in "raw" form? or vobsubs placed in .vob?
basically all that counts is whether its possible to place vobsubs from the dvd into .avi the .divx way without getting incompliant to the .divx subs

meh, stupid typo... (and stupid nightshifts)

so = say.

if it were Vobsubs i guess all DivX players should support it. But apparanetly they dont. Even so, hardware manufacturors know a lot longer about Xsub then we do of course and is even requested by them so it seems. So its not like they did not have time to implement it.

Well, if that where the case i dont see why DivX wouldnt allow the fusion package to use .sub/.idx files. Encoding them from srt seems like a lot more work to me.

because not every subtitle is taken from a dvd source

[Zhnujm]

Theres a description of the bitmap format in some of the sdk header files. I will see if i can find it again.

[thekid]

hey guys...

we will have more documentation and support for the subtitle spec posted soon. and more as we update the SDK with better documentation and sample code...

Zhnujm and New_Age, check your PM

thekid...

[thefluffy]

The SDK has been updated to include an example that generates subtitles from bitmaps (.bmp) files.

Check it out at http://labs.divx.com

[Zhnujm]

Interesting, with that even i can play around a bit.

Simple SubRip BMP to xsub converter is ready, works perfect (the playback on my dvd player, not the converter :) )
