Selectable Subtitles in SVCD

[__IRON__]

Is it possible to uses a Text *.sub file in win submux to make a CVD for a SVCD disc?

How can it be done?

What kind of subtitles dos win submus suport?

Tanks in advance for the answer to this questions.

This is a copy&paste from winsubmux's read.me:

The file format is similar to "PHILIPS SVCD DESIGNER 1.5 - 2.0 SUBTITLES FILE"
file format but it must contain ONLY the '[LIST]' section without the '[LIST]'
section identifier. Eg.:

ENG_000001.bmp 01:45:10:11 01:45:14:15 296 068 211 464

or

ENG_000001.bmp 01:45:10:11 01:45:14:15 296 068 211 464 0 255 255 255

where the columns are:

IMAGEFILE STARTTIME ENDTIME WIDTH HEIGHT X Y T0 T1 T2 T3

IMAGEFILE: filename of the subtitle picture without path
(the pictures and the script file MUST BE in the same directory!)
STARTTIME, ENDTTIME: Hour:Minute:Second:Hundredthsecond
WIDTH, HEIGHT: width, height of the bitmap
X,Y: X,Y position (on the movie) of the lower upper corner of the subtitle image
T0, T1, T2, T3: is the contrast (or transparency) value of the #0, #1, #2, #3 colors
0 means fully transparent
255 means fully non transparent
***
BE CAREFUL don't make subtitles with zero or negative duration they will be skipped.
(eg: SubRip 0.97b puts '00:00:00,00' time to the last subtitle ENDTIME)



so, I think it will not accept text files but saved .bmp-s from Subrip with its .sub file.

Do you Know of any way to make this text *.sub files converted to Bmp *.sub files?

Tanks for reply.

There is a way, using I-Author's OGT Creator included in I-Author Deluxe, but you will be able to make only the .BMPs. Remember thats an idea, never tried it. Also, you can import text files, and manualy add the timing codes. Send me PM if you can't find I-Author.
