vcd subtitle

[dogano]

Although my subtitle file works well with divx film, it doesn't same with vcd. I've converted it vcd by tmpgenc but some parts of the subtitle are missing. I ckecked up the missing parts with notepad but it was normal, so what's the matter?

So this is a DivX avi with external textsubs?

Were you converting via dshow and using directvobsub to render the subs? Because TMPGEnc doesn't work well with it... Common problem to have missing subs.

You could try usng ffdshow to render the subs instead or use VSFilter via avisynth instead.

avisource("movie.avi")
textsub("movie.srt")
converttoRGB24()

If you go with AVISynth you should also throw in a resize/addborders to get VCD res since it can do it faster than TMPGEnc.
