Adding subtitles in CCE?

[wldncrzy14]

I'm having serious problems understanding CCE and have searched for an hour with no helpful results.

With TMPGEnc, If I have file.avi and file.srt in the same directory, the subtitles are burned onto the final video when the avi is turned into .m2v

Is there a way to do this with CCE? CCE is much faster at converting my video and I'd hope that adding subtitles wouldn't change that by much. But what exactly do I have to do, as I don't see any option in the program for subtitles?

Gah, I'm going crazy because nothing is working.

I have an avi and an srt, and I want to encode with CCE.

# -= AviSynth script by FitCD v1.1.2 =-
LoadPlugin("c:\......\textsub.vdf")
AviSource("C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\xxx.avi")
BicubicResize(320,384,0,0.6,4,0,712,480)
AddBorders(16,48,16,48)
TextSub("C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\xxx.srt")
ConvertToYUY2()

This gives me an error when I try moving the .avs to CCE. It works if I get rid of the LoadPlugin step.

# -= AviSynth script by FitCD v1.1.2 =-
LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\vobsub.dll")
AviSource("C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\xxx.avi")
BicubicResize(320,384,0,0.6,4,0,712,480)
AddBorders(16,48,16,48)
vobsub("C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\xxx.sub")
ConvertToYUY2()

This one works if I get rid of both LoadPlugin and vobsub. Either way, I'm not able to incorporate subtitles. I did get a video once, and I'm assuming that was in the first scenario, with the LoadPlugin turned off. Apparently, the TextSub step still worked somehow. However, I then moved the file to DVDLab (which ran pulldown), and the subs were large and stretched vertically. Could this also have to do with me making a Half-D1 DVD?

You can try dvd2svcd with cce,it lets you insert subs and does with correct letter size and color and language.

Where can I add subtitles in DVD2SVCD? The only way I see is by adding AviSynth code. I tried doing that again and when it got to the encoding step, CCE messed up again (The .avs loaded as a 10 second, 240 frame thing, or something along those lines)

R U sure you're using the right textsub.vdf?

LoadPlugin("c:\......\textsub.vdf")

I use the one in my VobSub dir:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program\VobSub\textsub.vdf")
textsub("c:\y\xyz.ssa")

In dvd2svcd click on the subtitles tab and check rip subtitles,then load the file and in the dropdown box beside the file name choose add external subtitle stream.

I tried using the textsub.vdf in my VobSub folder and got the same error.

I have, however, got subtitles to load in DVD2SVCD. Kinda.
My .srt files have tags like [i], but the app that DVD2SVCD uses keeps the italic opening and closing tags when making bmps of the subtitles. Is there any way to keep the italics, or do I have to ditch them?

Actually, I'd like VobSub to do the subtitling. I know HOW to have that work now, but I can't get it TO work. As stated above, I get an error when I try loading vobsub.dll, even though the file is there and I'm pointing to it correctly. Why doesn't it want to LoadPlugin textsub.vdf or vobsub.dll?

LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VOBSUB.DLL")

Whenever I include this line, the error I get in CCE SP is:
"Frame size 740x56 is not supported. Supported frame size is up to 720x576"
and then the .avs doesn't load. If I get rid of the line, no problem.

Edit: Loading the .avs into media player brings up:
"Plugin C:\Windows\System\Vobsub.dll is not an AviSynth 2.5 plugin. (blahblah.avs, line3)"
