FAVC subtitle problem

[sayboughtpaw]

Hey guys, i installed FAVC 1.07 x64 on win 7 and have avisynth 2.58 and cccp installed. when i convert avi files everything works out. but when i have an mkv file that has .srt in the container things don't go as planned. so say my mkv source is 1280x720 and has subtitles already, i extract .srt with mkvextractgui and save the file under ANSI encoding (since from what i've read on this forum, FAVC doesn't register UTF-8) and under the dvd options where i input subtitle files i add the .srt with ANSI encoding, without having the "Hard Subtitles" box checked. I use the QuEnc set at the "Quality preset" and change the number of cpu cores to 4 since i have a quad core. When the dvd is finished generating, and when played, the video is hardsubbed with a soft subs option. If turned on they will overlap the hardsubs. How do i make it so the subs arent hardsubbed? Thanks in advanced.

Is it possible the subs have the same name as the file and are picked up by dvobsub or similar ?
Try renaming the subs to some other name and retrying.

The srt file name is not the same as the mkv file name

Interesting, perhaps there's an issue with FAVC. I'm out of idea's, perhaps somebody else will chime in.

If you play the mkv with wmp do you see the subs then? ffdshow and vsfilter might be enabled automatically.


Or just try convert to DVD with another software like avstodvd or dvd flick.

Im sure its hardcoded into the file as theres also a soft subs option. when enabled, it will overlap the hardcoded ones. But i think you might be right and it might have to do with vsfilter or somethin like that, since cccp has vsfilter on autoload, but if i uncheck that option in cccp settings, FAVC doesnt encode my files at all and get some kind of error. i tried lookin up the error but nothin really comes up. Is there some kind of script i can use to go about this in the advanced tab in FAVC?
