SVCD with subs with ffmpegX?

[phoney]

Is there a possibility that it may work some day to make SVCDs with subtitles in the picture with ffmpegX? Right now it only works for mecoder (MPEG4/DivX3) output, right?

SVCD subs are already supported (just use "mplayer decode" flag, starting from version 0.0.6).

will the subs also work on a dvd with the mplayer decode checked?

thanks for a great product.

Subs work for VOB->DivX, VOB->SVCD/CVD/DVD, direct DVD->DivX and direct DVD->SVCD/CVD/DVD.

VOB > SVCD with subs is already working? Nice But then I believe I have a bug for you if I haven't misunderstood things completely.
This is what I do:
I open ffmpeX 0.0.6b, select my VOB file, choose output and select PAL SVCD from the Quick Menu. In the audio tab I select subtitles (what's it doing in audio section...?), and in Options i deselect QT decode and select mplayer decode. I also deselect letterbox as my input is 4:3, and I deselect splitting and authoring.
This is the result. Notice that there is no mention of my input vob file anywhere in the encoding commands, which I think is strange if I may say so...

...
Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory
Reading config file /Users/ar/.mplayer/config
Reading /Users/ar/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/Users/ar/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory
Reading /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory
Using built-in default codecs.conf
Usage: mplayer [options] [url|path/]filename
...
Here it hangs forever with no cpu usage

I have installed the binaries with the installer, and the vob file plays fine with mplayer when i try that from the shell.

Bug? Stupid user?

phoney ,

mine is doing the same thing with all the "no such directory exist" stuff. i thought i didn't istall the mplayer and mencoder correctly, but maybe now it's something else.

I'm not so worried about the "file not found" errors, as it is only trying to load your custom settings files, which doesn't exist, nothing strange about that, and then it uses the built-in default settings.

I'm more worried about how in the h*ll it is supposed to know which file it should use for input...

Sorry, it's a bug. It's working for direct DVD input to mpeg-2, but for file input I forgot to comment away a line of code. I'm fixing it today in 0.0.6d.
