putting .sub into avi file

[flashcabaja64]

i have an avi and a .sub file. how do i put it together so when i the finish product shows the subs with the movie. also how do i resize the font? what programs do i have to use?

[Tommyknocker]

If the sub is text-based, I would load it into VobSub's ReSynch, save it as a .srt file. Load the video into Virtual Dub, use TextSub filter to load the new .srt file. Select Styles to adjust the font until it suits me, then save it as an AVI file, or frameserve it to TMPGEnc Plus to save it to a DVD format.

where can i download the filter at?

[Tommyknocker]

It is part of the VobSub download. When you extract VobSub, you will have the optiion of extracting TextSub as well.

hmm for some reason when i load the text file it doesnt open. know what might be wrong?

[Tommyknocker]

What is file extension?

[flashcabaja64]

F:\Program Files\Gabest\VobSub\textsub.vdf

[Tommyknocker]

And you have a copy of this file loaded in your Virtual Dub folder (should be in the plugins folder)?

[flashcabaja64]

i get 2 errors now after i reinstalled vobsub cuz i never install the textsub when i first installed vobsub and this is what happened when i tried opening it

[Tommyknocker]

The .vdf file is not to be opened. It is to be put in the Virtual Dub plugins folder. Once it is there, you call up the filter using the Video=>filter=>Add function.

[flashcabaja64]

yea when i try loading the file it gives the same error

[Tommyknocker]

I'm missing something. What file do you mean? You put the TextSub.vdf file in VDub/plugins, and leave it there. Then you open VDub, load your video, then select Video=>filter=>Add=TextSub. Once the TextSub window comes up, then your select the subtitle file. What file are you trying to load? Or are you saying you having trouble copying it to the VDub plugins folder?

[flashcabaja64]

right after i add the textsub.vdf that error comes up. i have no problem copying the files to the folder

[Tommyknocker]

When you add it to the folder?

[flashcabaja64]

no when i add it with video>filters>add>load textsub.vdf. then the error comes up

[Tommyknocker]

I see. Have you tried to remove then Reinstall VobSub, only make sure you add the TextSub option?

[flashcabaja64]

yes

[Tommyknocker]

Okay, do you know how to use VobSub's Sub Resynch?

[flashcabaja64]

not really but when i used it and try opening the sub it doesnt show anything
