You answer no to the question and don't use VDubMod as a player and don't use it to determine whether or not the audio is in synch.

It's easy using TMPGEnc, too bad you have to pay a little, but I never have any trouble. Anyway, here's a guide: http://www.driftingdots.com/float/permanentsubs.html

By choosing and configuring a codec (XviD, DivX, etc.). Unless you do that you get the default VDub uncompressed AVI and its enormous size.

Are you getting AVIs of many GB in size like leeqk? If so, then you're not setting up a codec. Are you choosing the final size you want by the bitrate? And are you getting that size? Are you making sure the audio isn't being converted to PCM WAV audio? Open the AVI in GSpot and have a look. If you can't figure out what it's telling you, post a GSpot pic here.

No, but it may wind up similar to the original.

Ok I need some help here. I've install Vobsub2.23 on this computer before and now I can't install it. After I select the folder where VirtualDub is and I click next, the error Vobsub has stopped working. I'm currently using Window Vista.

When I try to open my video with VirtualDubMod it shows a message saying :

Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'DX50'(unknown).
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows(VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codex, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable. Only 'Direct Stream Copy' is available for this video.

What is the problem?

You don't have a VfW codec installed to handle DivX-encoded video (DX50 is DivX 5/6, probably 7 as well). Install the DivX codec. Alternately, if you have Xvid or ffdshow installed, they can be configured to handle DivX video through VfW as well.

I have a chinese subtitle file in .ass format that I'm trying to hardcode onto an AVI file.

I followed this post's tutorial and was able to generate the avi with the subtitles, but all the subtitle text became garbage codes when it came out. sad.gif I've already tried changing the styles by specifying the correct font and coding (Chinese_Big5), re-save it, but it is still giving me those garbage characters. Have I missed any step or done anything wrong?

I'm pretty sure the subtitle file is working fine, coz I can play it on Media Player Classic without any problems. Can anyone give me some clue as to why this is happening?

FYI, the .ass file was created with AEGISUB.

thanks!!!

I use VirtualDubMod by preference and when I select the TextSub filter I get the appropriate options as shown on the howto. However when asked to select a subtitle file I choose the .srt file and click OK. The TextSub filter returns to the basic option screen where the [OK] button is greyed out. The text box that should hold the subtitle file name is blank. Nothing I can do seems to be able to get past this point.

Any ideas? Is there an earlier version of VobSub that maybe works?


I'm having the same problem as nojay has...

I don't know how can I "fix" this problem...

made with subtitle workshop

my .sub file is here:

Hi!

I am a translator specialized in film subtitling, but I never did any actual film editing. I always check Videohelp for tool reviews and tutorials and I recommend it a lot.

Yesterday I took some time, downloaded these tools, followed the tutorial and easily subtitled a film I had translated using VirtualDubMod and my .srt subtitles. Really cool and it was a piece of cake.

Then I downloaded SubStation Alpha for more advanced subtitle editing. I also installed the Subtitler filter to VirtualDubMod.

I converted my subtitles to .ssa using Subtitle Workshop, then edited them in SSA: changed the color of some captions, changed the alignment of some others. I previewed everything and everything was just as I wanted.

However, when I burn the subtitles to the film, everything is fine (synch, colors, alignments etc.) but the font of the subtitles is ridiculously tiny -- barely visible!! I tried this using both the Subtitler filter and TextSub 2.23, with exactly the same result.

I went back to SSA a few times, formatted the style, overrode everything to make sure all subtitles were Arial 22 (really big actually), double-checked everything.

Same result: the subtitles are the size of ants.

Does anyone have any idea of what can I be doing wrong?

Thanks a lot! You guys are awesome!

How do I select a different subtitle lanugage in VirtualDubMod to be encoded if there is more than one subtitle?

Followed the instructions step by step but only default English gets encoded. How do I choose another subtitle language?

I searched the entire thread and found nothing regarding this.

Check your other thread. Why post twice about the exact same problem?

I thought I ask the question here too for people with the same problem as me since this is the main guide.
