I have a DV AVi captured. I run it trough DVdate to get the date code.
I can save the date code to SRT, but cant position them.
I would like to position them to the left bottom, like all the traditional homevideo date code's.
Is there some way to do this? I rather dont want to hard code the date in the video.

You can also do it with subresync (comes with vobsub) for srt files.
Basically, it will create a file called filename.srt.style. The contents will look something like this:
Code:ScriptType: v4.00+ PlayResX: 1280 PlayResY: 720 [V4+ Styles] Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, OutlineColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, Underline, StrikeOut, ScaleX, ScaleY, Spacing, Angle, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, Encoding Style: Default,Tahoma,48,&H00ffffff,&H0000ffff,&H00000000,&H80000000,0,0,0,0,100,100,0,0.00,0,1,0,2,20,20,20,1
Position on TV screen:
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
Font size is controlled by both the Fontsize parameter and the PlayResX, PlayResY values. -
Thanks for your response as well.
I've tried Aegisub, and like it. I don't like commands, I understand most things you said but I rather use Aegisub.
Aegisub is also all in one, can do lots of advanced things with it.
Only I can't find a way to apply the position to every frame/time. How to apply the position for all timings in the sub?The flag once raised will never fall! -
Actually, txporter's suggestion seems good. Aegisub uses the same style format. If you open an .ASS file in Notepad, you'll see at the top:
[Script Info]

Define a new style using Subtitles > Styles Manager, then select all the lines you want to apply it to, and change "Default" (in the dropdown box next to "Comment") to the style you created. After that, to change the style, simply change it in Style Manager and the changes will apply to everything labeled with that style.
Remember, you need to install any fonts you select before they'll show up in your media player. (Or you can mux the fonts into the MKV as an attachment, if you prefer, and they'll show correctly whether they're installed or not.)Last edited by creamyhorror; 6th Mar 2010 at 05:18.

Sorry for my late reply. I've tried in the weekend but had no luck, till now I didn't really had time.
But I'm gonna try again the above method.The flag once raised will never fall! -
I must be stupid, I cant figure it out.
The position I want is {\fscx251.25\fscy260\pos(182,432)} with big fonts (48)
But I cant figure a way adding it with the styles manager...
My scripting is very poor, I've tried some copy and pasting, but the program says there is no style.
What I actually wanted is to select the sub (with the right position) and then, just add that in styles manager.
I cant really put decent settings in the styles manager.The flag once raised will never fall! -

Sorry for my late reply.
First of all thank you creamyhorror & txporter. I have worked it out.
I have copied the position command and used copy pasting.
There arent' that many lines for date code (only date - month - year, so no time).
Vegas doesn't export with original date-code, so I can't really add the original PM time (with seconds etc)...
But this is enough for me, thank you for all the help!The flag once raised will never fall!
