Add Subtitles To AVI From DVD Source

[Blue_3]

I have tried the following:

I use DVDFab HD Decrypter to rip the episode first.
I select episode 1 and the correct subtitles I'm wanting.
I then use AutoGK and select the .IFO subtitle file.
In the subtitle box, I click the correct subtitle.
Click Add Job, and Start.

After a ways it says that the IFO can't be found and that subtitles is disabled...

Here is my AutoGK log:

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

Here is what I did in AutoGK:



What I'm trying to do is rip episodes and their subtitles, and then encode them together into avi.

[Baldrick]

I would try keep all subtitles when ripping using DVDFab HD Decrypter and then just select the english sub in autogk.

[Blue_3]

Thats not the problem though.. Its that AutoGK isn't encoding the subtitles into the avi in the first place.. lol. Plus both subs are English, 1 is just for jap voice audio stream and 1 is for English audio stream.

Look at the log, and you can see AutoGK throwing out the subtitles.. so.. help please..

[manono]

Extract the subs yourself and then add them to the AVI using the CTRL-F8 trick?

Thats not the problem though

I can see where it could very well be the problem. Did you try what Baldrick suggested?

[Blue_3]

All I have is the IFO file.. and I don't think I could put the IFO file int he f8 slot.. so can you tell me how to get the subtitles from the dvd? or would doing it the other way be the easy way? I'll try takign the episode and all subtitles.

[manono]

Open the IFO in VobSub Configure and take it from there to extract the VobSubs (IDX/SUB). Here's a guide:

http://www.doom9.org/dvobsub.htm

The easy way? The easiest way would be to decrypt the entire episode, including all the sub tracks, at the very beginning and then let AutoGK do the work for you. I'd use DVDDecrypter in IFO Mode, assuming the DVD doesn't have any newer copy protections.

i just got this:



I gotta work, so will have to mess with it later.

[manono]

With AutoGK installed you should already have it. That might explain the error message from before. Either reinstall AutoGK or install VobSub. I'd suggest reinstalling AutoGK. That'll give you a chance to upgrade to the newest v2.48.

[Blue_3]

Bam! works now haha. Thanks!

[Blue_3]

Also, only works if I rip it with all subtitles as well.
