How to add permanent subtitles with AutoGK and convert to AVI DivX or XviD

damnit all. i can't believe there isn't a sure fix for the sync problem after so many users having the same problem. My dilemma is that the permanent subtitles are CORRECT with the AUDIO!..PERFECT! BUT the video is early. With this problem I can't MOVE ANYTHING without UNsyncing the subs and audio....because the subs are part of the video now. Early in this topic someone said that uninstalling and re-installing AutoGK and Avisynth help..but can anyone confirm this. My pc is a bit weak and un/r-installing will screw w/ it too much.
Thanks to those who help

Do you have the log?

I don't think the uninstall/reinstall thing is going to do much, unless you're using one of the borked AutoGKs. Ordinarily your problem is caused by decrypting incorrectly a recent DVD with newfangled copy protections. Perhaps you can explain your decrypting procedure and how you then got the files into AutoGK. However, if worse comes to worst you can fix the delay in both the audio (remux with the correct delay) and subs (fix the delay before reencoding with the fixed subs) and try again.

Hi,

Version 2.48 is the latest, and fixed a couple of problems the one you're using had, but nothing to do with your problem, though. So, the source AVI plays fine, with both the audio and subs in synch? And the AutoGK reencoded one has both the audio and subs out-of-synch? Pretty strange, eh?

You have to find out the delay. That's easy enough to do. Let me (us) know if you need any instructions how to do that. I don't see any way to get the audio out of AutoGK with the correct delay (unless it's AC3 audio). That's something you'll have to fix afterwards in VDubMod. If you don't know how to do that, just ask. But the subs are more important, because you can't fix the subs after the encode if they're out of synch and burned into the video. Open the SRT file in SubtitleCreator (File->Open Text Subtitle). Then Synchronize->Set Time Delay (-/+) and set the delay you already figured out. Then File->Save SRT. Use the edited one in AutoGK.

I don't see any easy fix to your problem. Although I've heard of audio coming out of AutoGK out-of-synch when the source is an AVI, that could easily be explained by the source AVI having an audio delay set. The subs being out-of-synch is a new one on me, and one for which I have no easy explanation.

Hey,
I am trying to hardcode .srt subtitles with my .avi file and have followed all of the instructions. However, after it finished encoding I was left with an agk_tmp folder containing a video clip entitled _ that was the length of the film however the video was just a green screen that fluctuated in brightness with no sound. In addition, I was left with a vCard entitled lastjob, and AviSynth script entitled _ , and lastly a text document entitled interlace.

It took over an hour to analyze the source? Anyway, it looks like there's something wrong with the audio, corrupted or something. I would try unchecking the audio track under step 2 and see if it'll make the video without the audio. If it works, you can demux the audio from the source and add it to the new video after it finishes (maybe).

To get the audio out of the source AVI:

Open the AVI in VDubMod. If a question pops up about VBR audio answer no. Go Streams->Stream List->Demux, give it a name and save it. When you go to encode in AutoGK, uncheck the box for the audio so it isn't seen. When done, add the audio back in:

Open the new audioless AVI. Set Video to Direct Stream Copy. Go Streams->Stream List->Add, find the audio and add it in. Then go File-Save As, give it a new name and save it.
