What's wrong with Sub2DivX!

[kehn]

Hi all bros,

I'm a dummy
I try to use Sub2DivX to mux subtitle .srt with .avi files to have my avi movies played with subtitles displayed on TV by using DVD player!
I really don't know the process of this program:
maybe, srt to bmp, then bmp to xsub, finally the xsub be added into avi files!
And, I get the error you can see in the cap:




Thanks a lot, you are all good guys!

I also have question not so related, but highly appreciate any answer:
What is the most popular type of subtitle a common DVD player can display? srt,sub,msi,ssa.... .Thanks
Do I have to rename the subtitles with its language tail: for example, I have an English sub .srt --- Do I have to change it into : xXx.srt.en or xXx.srt.eng ...etc to help the DVD player recognize the language of the subtitles .Thanks
If have to, how do I know the rule for the language tail? For example: Mongolian,Chinese,Korean,Spanish...?Thanks

I'm really a dummy!
Thanks.
Hope to get your help.[/img]

I have found this info:


Let's say that we have an avi that cannot be processed by avisub. (Sub2DivX cannot generate any *.divx file)

1)
We run AviC.exe and we load the avi.
If we get Fourcc description code: div3
and fourcc used codec : DIV3
then we have an divx3 format avi.
We change the Fourcc description code and the fourcc used codec to DIVX and we press apply.

2)
Now we run avisub and we load avi and the srt .
We press generate subbed avi and wait ... this time the avi will be processed !

3)
We rename the avisub.divx to avisub.avi .
We run again AviC.exe and we load the avisub.avi
We get something like :
Fourcc description code: divx
and fourcc used codec : DX50
We change the Fourcc description code and the fourcc used codec to DIV3 and we press apply.

4)
We rename the avisub.avi to avisub.divx .
All done !

================================================== ======================


if you are getting this message " seems divxmux cannot handle this avi file, try the followings

1. Open avi files with avimux gui.
Generate data source from file.
Before Start Save avi ensure "change dwFourCC "DX50"
to "divx" under Setting Input AVI is unchecked

2.Demux first both video & audio streams of saved avi ( (1) above ),
with VirtualDubMod then remux them back again.
When demux & remux make sure you are in Direct Stream Copy
mode.

Certain audio MP3 stream do post problem for Divxmux.
I suggest recoding to AC with FFMPEGGui prior to
muxing with VirtualDubMod for such cases. Process will just take a few
minutes.

3. Finally load the mux avi file ( (2) above ) and subtitle files into
AviSub to generate divx subbed file

SRT is probably the best supported with SUB being the next most supported. I think I've seen a few things support SUP. If anything beyond these 3 is supported, consider yourself lucky.

There is no need to rename your subtitle file to help your player recognize the language. The player will be able to figure out if it's a supported character set or not. Note that for Divx I have never seen a DVD player that supported all character sets or Unicode subtitles. For example, here in the USA Philips sells DVD players that support Latin and Cyrillic character sets for Divx subtitles and that is all. In Asia you might get support for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Latin and probably nothing else. We had a post yesterday from a guy in Germany who bought a DVD player that can't support Asian character sets for subtitles. We've seen posts in the past from people who bought DVD players in Europe or Asia and then find out that those players don't support Arabic or Hebrew subtitles for Divx.
