Vobsub crashes my TMPGenc

[lazyturbo]

I'm trying to burn a movie with subtitles (srt) using TMPGenc and Vobsub Filter. But when I open a movie in TMPGenc, it crashes. The movie plays fine with subtitles in Windows Media Player.

Anyone know what's wrong?

[mats.hogberg]

That WMP plays an AVI, doesn't mean that TMPGEnc will swallow it... I'd suggest loading the AVI in VirtualDub and frameserve to TMPGEnc.

I also have FFdshow, but it doesn't load in TMPGenc, is there a way to force it to load?

[mats.hogberg]

What do you mean "ffdshow doesn't load"? ffdshow is a codec, and not anything TMPGEnc is supposed to load?!? I'm afraid you're not making much sense to me.

[lazyturbo]

Yea...the FFdshow codec doesn't load. WMP uses it when I open the movie, but TMPGenc doesn't.

I've been trying to use this guide: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/153058.php

[mats.hogberg]

Ah - I see what you mean. Try raising the DirectShow priority in TMPGEnc. See this excellent TMPGenc Tips and tricks guide.

It still doesn't load. I changed the priority of Directshow up to 5 and all the other ones at 0...but still no go.

The best I can suggest is to use avisynth.

I'm trying to burn a movie with subtitles (srt) using TMPGenc and Vobsub Filter.

I am really surprised, that TMPGEnc or VobSub filter have ability to burn something. Are you sure you want to use them to burn? Maybe this is why it isn't work

[lazyturbo]

Oh, sorry...not burn...but convert. It says it can do it in the guide...

[lazyturbo]

So does anyone how to fix this problem? I need Vobsub to run while using TMPGenc, but when I load it a movie in TMPGenc, it crashes my TMPGenc.

Please Help.

[mats.hogberg]

No. There are other ways to add subtitles to an AVI (VirtualDub, frameserve to TMPGEnc).

Do you have a guide explaining how to use VirtualDub to frameserve to TMPGenc?

[celtic_druid]

If you disable all output colourspaces except for RGB24 then ffdshow should work with TMPGEnc.

If you disable all output colourspaces except for RGB24 then ffdshow should work with TMPGEnc.

How do you do that?

[celtic_druid]

You untick all the boxes except for RGB24. Should also enable hiqi RGB conversion and probably disable allow format changes if it is enabled.

[lazyturbo]

When I do that, TMPGenc no longer crashes when I load the video, but it also just sits there and doesn't convert anything.

This is how I set them, is this what you meant:



Thanks

[celtic_druid]

Yep, that's it. TMPGEnc's dshow input module is obviously pretty tempramental though. For instance it worked perfectly with an AVC mp4 for me when I was testing, but not so good for an ASP MPEG-4 mp4. In both cases ffdshow was used to decode so the results should have been the same and were in Graphedit, wmp, etc.

[lazyturbo]

So what do i do now?

[celtic_druid]

Frameserve with AVISynth

[mats.hogberg]

...or VirtualDub if writing avs scripts seems like a daunting task.

Is there a guide for that?

[mats.hogberg]

Many.
