Add subtitles

[Flying Doctor]

I used SubSync, then Virtualdub but when I push the button Start Frameserver,
my movie starts converting ( a think it's called converting ) but doesn't go any further then
0! Please look at the picture I added.

Can anyone help me?

If you read this guide things will be a bit clearer.

In short: The frameserving in itself will not encode anything, it will serve the movie frame by frame to an external encoder of your choice. (That's why it is called frameserving).

Well, I read the guide and tried everything but my movie still doesn't start frameserving...

What app do you use to encode?
Until you tell an encoder to start reading from the frame server, it will just look like your screen shot.

I use Virtualdub....

Select save avi to convert in Virtualdub.

If you frameserve you must convert with separate encoder and not virtualdub.

I did save my movie as AVI ( in Virtualdub ) but Virtualdub still doesn't framserve...

[mats.hogberg]

Again, what encoder did you use to encode (when frameserving from VirtualDub)? You've said "I use Virtualdub.... ", but surely that can't be so - you don't use VirtualDub to encode when frameserving with VirtualDub. You use something like TMPGEnc or orher encoder. Which?

First I use SubSync to get the subtitles in the right place/ order. Then I open Sub2SSA to make the subtitle compactible for Virtualdub. When I open my movie file and open my subtitle file (.ssa ) and then push the button Frame Serve it just doesn't!
This is how far I got, maybe it's a bit clearer for you now...

You are missing the NEXT step which is to open an encoder and point it to the frameserver file that VirtualDub creates. The name of the frameserver file is whatever you told it to be when you started the frameserver.

It covers frameserving from vdub , too bbmpeg , the encoder .

Pretty well covers "frameserving" and "encoding" .
