Subtitles in Sonic Dvdit Pro 6 are All Super ugly and big and cut off

[Goldman123]

Any help?

The subject line describes the issue.

Imported the subtitles as .sub.

Is there also a program that gives all the information on the subtitles? Like the width and all that stuff.

I'll Show pictures if there needed.

Found this on one of the User Guides

The main steps are explained below:
1) Rip the DVD to the hard disk
2) Demultiplex DVD using VobEdit to separate audio, video and subtitle streams
3) [Optional] Convert subtitles to *.srt or *.sub
4) Convert and synchronise subtitles to *.sup (DVD format)
5) Multiplex DVD using IfoEdit of ReJig to a full DVD again
6) Test & burn

The guide is on how to put subtitles into a dvd.

How do i do it for .avi?

So i can make it into .avi then put it into Sonic Dvdit

AVIs generally can't contain subtitles (in the DVD sense) - just audio + video. The can contain a subtitle stream, but very few players (and even fewer encoders) can use it.
If you use AVI and subtitles, you either have the subtitles as a separate file, and let the player (soft or hardware) add the text as the AVI is played, or, you reencode the AVI video and have a filter add the subtitles so they become part of the video (hard subbed).

Instead of getting into details about what applications you're using, and what process you're trying, why not start with telling us what you have, and what you'd like to end up with, as detailed as possible? I think you'll get much more help that way.

The 1) and 2) from the guide you posted in your case must be replaced with:
1. Convert the video in avi to DVD compliant mpeg 2 stream.
2. Convert the audio in avi to DVD compliant stream (ac3) or use original audio if it is ac3 already.

Had a anime series, in OGM format. Demuxed it, so now have the audio, the video(OpenDML AVI divx/DX50), and the subtitles. Have Subtitleworkshop and Creator, and make the .srt files to .sub Sonic Scenerist files so that DVDit Pro 6 can read the subtitles.

Everything else works great the audio, the video, just the subtitles that are all big and ugly and cut off.
