Unicode subtitles for avi

[Gooch]

Hello all,

I have an avi clip just over five minutes long. I'd like to add unicode subtitles, similar to the Ethiopic characters you find at:

I don't mind if the subtitles are 'burned in' to the video - it's a quick and dirty job I'm doing.

I tried Ulead VideoStudio 11, but pasting the characters gives gibberish, and I can't type in it using Tavultesoft Keyman, my method of entry.

Any suggestions for an easy way to add such subtitles?

Thanks.

You can use VSFilter + VirtualDub to get permanent subtitles,
or MaestroSBT to produce DVD-compliant subtitle pics from .SSA files.
Search this forum with some more attention and you will find
more details about non-ASCII subtitles.

P.S.: I'd like to say a big fat <ROT-13>SHPX BSS NAQ QVR!</ROT-13>
to all webdesigners who like to believe their pseudo~UTF-8/Unicode HTML files
are 100%~OK only because the non~W3C-compliant wannabe browser
is able to display them correctly.

Thanks for the reply.

But I need to make .ssa files, and I've tried a couple of tools that claim to work with unicode, but I've been unable to get them to work with the characters I am using.
