i hav been using build x264_32_tMod-8bit-all-ffmpeg.exe & am happily satisfied with it may be because this single binary pretty much do everything...Lately i want to hardcore subs because my Sony Bravia doesnt support external subtitles or within the container. So this build supports this feature & am going to quote the whole para:
— How to load subtitles internally —
These builds ported subtitles video-filter from direct264, and are able to render subtitles internally.
To render subtitles in this way, demuxer must be libav/ffms. Raw/avs demuxer is not supported for now. And VSFilter.dll(for 32-bit builds) or VSFilter64.dll(for 64-bit builds) must be placed together with the x264 binary or in the system path. Do NOT change filenames of them.
Rendering multiple subtitles is possible. Now you can render at most 16 subtitles simultaneously by calling --sub for each subtitles. Note that the later calling of --sub overlays the subtitles after previous calling of --sub, so if several subtitles are in the same position, the last one should overlays on all those rendered before.
The VSFilters are modified to add custom csri API. Patches can be found in svn of direct264 project. Therefore do NOT replace them with other builds. BT.709/BT.601 is auto detected according to video resolution. For HD videos BT.709 is used and for SD videos BT.601 is used.
Both 8-bit and 10-bit builds can use subtitles rendering, but rendering should only take place in 8-bit colorspaces. For example, if the input video is 10-bit, which would be converted to yuv420p16le internally before encoding, you need to use “resize” filter to downscale it to 8-bit before “subtitles” filter: --video-filter resize:csp=i420:8/subtitles --sub "subtitles.ass".
ICL build of VSFilter(64).dll might be faster than VC2010 build on Intel CPU, as VSFilter uses some intrinsic functions which are more optimized by ICL compiler. Rendered frames should be identical.
The commandline example to render subtitles:
x264_32_tMod-8bit-420.exe --sub "subtitles-1.ass" --sub "subtitles-2.ass" --sub "subtitles-3.ass" --video-filter [Other video filters/]subtitles[/Other video filters] [Other x264 options] --output "output.mp4" "input.mp4"
As the bold part says that the VSFilter.dll it uses is kind off customised & I have confirmed that hardcoding subtitle using VSFilter.dll from CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) doesnt work. The srt file loads properly & renders properly using 'customised' dll however the font is while,outlined,shadowed & things I don't like. Now because this dll isn't registered in my Win7x86 thus I want to know how can I modify its settings?

Also using subtitle workshop I converted my srt to ass then changed font size,color... using notepad then try loading it but this binary fails to do so & crashes...help?
