[scanray]

I have a video in mpeg2. I want to put him subtitles. The subtitles have them in txt. Does some program that can create the subtitles to put them with i-author in a svcd ? or to put them in a DVD?

Thanks

Try this: Convert your subtitle file with Maestro SBT to a series of bmp's and follow these guides.

Hi Truman:

I have converted the gifs. But I can´t create the ogt for I-author. I have tried some programs. All time the same result. The I-author crash.
Do you know another program to create the subs ?

Thanks

Currently I do not have installed I-Author, so I can not test it. Which kind of subtitles do you have, which file extention is it ? Or do you write your own subtitles?

I have my own subtitles.
The video has it in mpeg2 and the subtitles in srt. The subtitles I converted them to ssa to be able to make the gif´s and the txt for the i-author mux. The problem is that when I load everything in the mux the program he closes. I made a test with the ogt of I-author. There were not problems. In this case he would have make the synchronization of the text again. :(

In summary, I have to put subtitles to a svcd.

You may try to multiplex with submux instead. Make sure you select BMP 8 bit uncompressed. TSCV provide a GUI for submux (tools).
