adding subtitles to (S)VCD!

[jonathan1014]

Hi everyone!!

I'm a newbie on the forum! I'm french, I live in Toulouse.

And i'm looking for info dealing with subtitles...

I have an MPEG-1 movie and subtitles that go with it (2 formats : .srt and .ssa)

I'd like to make a SVCD or a VCD with them both! in order to play it on my standalone DVD-player...

At the time, i have tried :

Frameserving with VirtualDub and reecoding with TMPGEnc. in VCD and SVCD mode. in SVCD i observed the quality is poor (maybe reecoding a poor quality movie?) and in VCD, the quality looks the same as the original! BUT there is problem : in both cases, audio and video aren't synchronised!!!! Yet subtitles are ok...

The second method i found is to use SubMux or WinSubMux. I tried it but it gives me an error message while doing it...I'm at work so I can't tell you exactly what (i could do it if you ask tonight). I was wondering whether it could be that my movie is in MPEG-1 not 2 and SubMux works fine with MPEG-2 files...

Well, as you can see...i'm trying hard but i've no solution at the time!!

Thanx in advance for your ideas!!!

PS : My computer is not really speedy, it is a PII 33 Mhz with 400 Mo RAM, could be the explanation to the desynchronisation?
