framserving from virtualdub to QuEnc - is that possible?

[Nirshare]

How can I add permanent subtitle to be encoded with the video in QuEnc?
is there a good AVS editor ?

Everything you can do with VirtualDub can be done with AviSynth. Including adding permamnent subs. Here's an example using .ssa subs (use Subtitle Studio to convert to .ssa if you have subs in some other text format)

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

AVS editors found under tools left. And no, you can't frameserve from VDub to QuEnc.

textsub (for both VDub and AVISynth) is now part of VSFilter (has been for some time). Also contains VOBSub, should your subs happen to be idx/sub.

Probably you could frameserve to AVISynth and then to QuEnc. As said though much better to use AVISynth... avoids the whole YV12-->RGB24-->YV12 thing.

Thanks guys,
but I'm gettin an error msg that says : textsub.vdf is not an AviSynth 2.5 plugin.

I tried to uninstall and installing VobSub again (with textsub for virtualdub and AviSynth) but nothing change and still gettin this msg .

Just put vsfilter.dll in your AVISynth plugin dir. Unicode version if you are running 2k/XP/2003 and the ANSI build if you are running something based on DOS (98/ME).

No need to load it as all plugins in the plugin dir are autoloaded.

OK now it works after I put the vsfilter.dll in AviSynth directory.

How can I change the position and size\font\color of the subtitle ?

[mats.hogberg]

What kind of subs do you have? .ssa contains positioning , font, size, color & cetera info in the file, other text based subs must be positioned and defined by the renderer. .idx/sub (vobsub) subs are "images" like DVD subs, and can't be positioned or altered - the image is just overlayed the video.

Maybe my method is a bit outdated. If you have Vobsub package installed there is in the installation folder a small utility named Subresynch. With it you can change almost everything of the subtitle file if it is text based. When you save it it will produce additional file that have the name and extension of the subs file and additional extension .style (for example mymovie.srt and mymovie.srt.style. So Vsfilter understands this .style file and will position (and change font and everything) according the information in the .style file. BTW this file is text file, you can look at the information in it with text editor.

[mats.hogberg]

Cool! Didn't know that subresync could "style" "plain text" subs like .srt for VsFilter. Then again, it was some time since I did permanent subs...
