Audio Prob: Adding Subtitles to AVI(DiVX) File and then Enco

[ChetanD]

Hey,

I have a VCD that I have converted to a AVI(DiVX) file in order to add subtitles to it. I have 2 AVI files named 1.avi and 2.avi and 2 subtitle files called 1.ssa and 2.ssa. I installed VobSub and the subtitles show perfectly in Windows Media Player. I then used TMPGEnc to encode the AVI files into VCD format with permanent subtitles (I have the Directshow Multimedia Reader plug-in installed). But whenever I do this I get a lot of audio noise. Is it because I'm going from DiVX to VCD? I tried seperating the audio from the video and I used the .wav file I got but I still get the same noise after encoding it in TMPGEnc.

How do I solve this problem?

Thanks!

By converting to DivX you are losing quality. Also why not just re-use the original audio? No reason to re-encode it.

To avoid converting the video twice. Use DGIndex to create d2v's and demux the audio. Frameserve via AVISynth using VSFilter to render the subs.

There is by far more elegant way to achieve this, but it depends if your DVD player can play non-standart SVCD's (mpeg1video) with selectable subtitles.

Hey,

How do I use DGIndex to create the d2v's and demux the audio? Do I use the original VCD's .dat files or the .avi files I created? Can you give me a step by step or point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

You use dat file. Load it in DGIndex. Audio-MPEG Audio-Demux. Then File-Save project. Save. This procedure will give you .d2v file (project) and mp2 or mpa file (audio).
For frameserving with Avisynth and VSFilter look at the guides.
