Subtitles not appearing in "TSunami Video Encoder Expre

[binhtrieu]

I use Tsunami Video Encoder Express for encoding avi file to VCD. But sub not appear in encode processing.
I have installed Vobsub, and klite codec work as well. Play video file with WMP or Media Classic is sub appear. However when i use Tsunami to encode is not.

Please help me? Thanks

It sounds like the encoder is loading the AVI file directly, without rendering it using DirectSHOW, and thus DirectVOBSub/VOBSub don't have access to it, and thus cannot subtitle it

I'd check if the encoder has an option to let DirectShow do the video decoding. If so, use that option and the subtitles should show up. Else, you'll need some method to frameserve the DirectShow version of the output (i.e. with subtitles) to the encoder...

Hmm, I have a similar problem. Everything was working but I tried to convert a divx 6 to dvd using TmpgEnc Plus 2.5. Now no matter what .avi I try to convert, TmpgEnc won't pick up the .srt subs. Usually putting DirectShow at the top of TmpgEnc priorities and reinstalling VobSub fixes this. But this time around no joy.
Tried installing/uninstalling ffdshow with/without subtitles enabled.. no difference. I'm wondering if xvid codec may have tried to convert divx6 and something broke? I'm lost. I have another machine with TmpgEnc and VobSub 2.23 that still picks up the .srt subs but I can't find any clues from it. It's not the end of the world but sometimes DvdAuthorGUI won't like an .srt file and I can get around it by "hard coding" the subs in. I'd like to get that option back if possible.
