Sub prob...

[Immortal25]

Hmm how do I deal with .sub files? IT doesn't have a idx or ifo file.. so i assume this .sub is a microdvd? I'm not even sure what I'm talking about
How do i frameserve it into tmpgenc and encode it into a dvd? Any good guides to recommend? I try some...such as this but i can't find the filter for virtualdub. I have virtualdub 1.5 and also the virtualdubmod(what's the mod suppose to mean anyway? is this better?). And in both prog that I have, i can't find the Textsub filter. How do i get it and how do i insert it...
That's the question

So what must I do? Any speedy reply would be appreciated. Many thanks!

Anyone? Pls? Just suggest the best prob for .sub?
I know of .srt, .ssa and .idx but now .sub?

Open the sub with Notepad. Is it readable text? Then convert to .srt with Subtitle Studio. Author with DVDAuthorGUI that will create the DVD with real DVD subs (not encoded onto the movie, as you'll get when using VirtualDub).
Not readble? You're lost. VobSub .subs need the .idx to work. Find the subs elsewhere (preferably in .srt format).

Hi-

If it were I, I would stick it into an AviSynth script using the TextSub filter included as part of the VSFilter, included with VobSub. The syntax would go something like this:

LoadPlugin("Path\to\VSFilter.dll")
TextSub("Path\to\Subtitlefile.sub")

Or you could go the much slower route, convert it to srt or ssa using SubResynch also included with VobSub or GKnot, and use the Subtitler filter for VDub to set it up.

This assumes that your sub file is the text based one (MicroDVD). Can you open it in Notepad? And it also assumes you're going to burn the subs into the video. I don't know if TMPEGEnc accepts text based subs or not. Never used it.

Edit: Mats beat me to it.

I can't find a good link to dl Subtitle Studio? Can anyone provide a link? I google it but the links gave me an error. Darn it..

As for AviSynth, I'm not sure...where can I find the TextSub filter?

And to answer both your questions, yes it is readable...in notepad

Hi-

where can I find the TextSub filter?

Do you see how VobSub is linked? Get VobSub. It includes the TextSub filter inside the VSFilter.dll. If you decide to use it, set it up in the .avs as shown above. It also includes SubResynch which will allow you to convert sub files (not idx/sub, which have to be OCR'd) to just about any other text based subtitle format almost instantly.

Or if you prefer, you can find Subtitle Workshop (notice how it's also linked) here:
