Subtitles with AVISynth

[mats.hogberg]

I've recently discovered the sheer beauty of AVISynth, and followed this guide. Duly added the lines

• LoadPlugin("c:\program\dvd2svcd\mpeg2dec\mpeg2dec. dll")
  mpeg2source("c:\y\xyz.d2v")
  LoadPlugin("c:\Program\Virtualdub\plugins\textsub. vdf")
  textsub("c:\y\xyz.ssa")

to the AVS script. However, no subs were added (and AVISynth didn't complain about anything), so I ended up opening the AVS in VirtualDub to use the same filter before frameserving from VDub to TMPGEnc.
Not that much trouble, but the VDub step seems a little unnecessary. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I'd like to know it, too.
What about Vobsub? How can I use it in AviSynth?

Well, I found a solution! I downloaded the VobSub package, which contains a textsub.vdf. Changed my AVISynth script to load this textsub.vdf and Voila! Works like a charm! On the whole, there's very little info on AVISynth and subs. Maybe because a majority of the DVD/(S)VCD authoring population has English as their native language?
Also found a subtitler.dll (I think it was in the Avisynth dir of DVD2SVCD) that I can't find any docs on...
